Sorry, I’m more a lurker than poster. joined few years ago, I think.

I welcome criticism. Not politically savvy much, just say what I believe.

Bring back Flynn.

From what I can tell he’s been exonerated, and the leaks have been a coordinated (and felonious) campaign by Obama holdovers.

National Security Advisor is purely Trump’s choice. No Congressional approval is needed.

The scandal here is:
(1) Obama used the national security apparatus to spy on his political opponents during a Presidential election.
(2) Intelligence officers leaking top secret sigint to settle political scores.

Do you really want to watch the D’s go nuts over his handling of classified material.

If he doesn’t, Trump will find another person to implement his vision.

Trump has a vision?

Dr. Sebastian Gorka is bubbling up as a name for the job.

All high achievers have a vision.

Sports figures study their movements as if from the outside, knowing exactly what they want from their body beforehand, and following through as close to it as they can.

Business people like Trump, have a grand vision. So to presidents.

Trump is probably as close to holding our vision as any president in our lifetime.

You’re probably right. But I hope Trump installs a hard ass that Dems hate.

Natl Security Advisor salary is around $200k, and you have to live in a high cost of living swamp. He probably ears several $M a year, after a 40 year military career. I think he made a reasonable decision.

reasonable for who? just himself. What kind of real patriot thinks of himself/family first?

I think Trump should pick some one who really understands the fight we are in as a nation in this world today. If Harward backing out, he does not have a clue the fight we are in and would not do best to keep us safe.

I agree. Bring back Flynn, if for no other reason than to watch liberal heads explode.

At least there's one reasonable person posting today. Those who have never served in the military cannot fathom how many moves his family had to make over a 40 year period. The stress that puts on a family is unreal.

Add to that, his family would be under unwelcome public scrutiny.
