Or has a skeleton he doesn’t want walking out of the closet.
Not buying this...yet.
Second version of why he turned it down; the first being he wanted his own team. I’m more inclined to believe the first version, but we’ll never know for sure.
I wasn’t exactly a three star flag officer, but I’ll take it. I watched more than one general work at close range...
I’d love to know who leaked this.
I’m sick of watching some d-head or another spill state secrets.
I hope Harward does take the job.
If he doesn’t, Trump will find another person to implement his vision.
Sounds like the little woman put her Pink-Pussyhat on and thumbs down.
Next nominee, we should not even know about it until all this kitchen table vetting has already taken place. This was a waste of two days time.
I don’t believe that. No one takes such an important job, then turns it down. Someone in his admin is sabotaging Trump. First Flynn, now this guy.
We should be most appreciative of all who do accept. I am amazed at how many patriots there are who are putting country before self. I am just sorry that Harward's name was put out to the media before he was sure he would take it.
Screw it. Jam Petraeus through.
Good! He is a Bushie. We need a man with brass balls . Trump has those as was proved today.
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.
Didn’t want to leave a cushy job in which he and his wife were comfortable?
