Bannon Out of NSC? McMaster Prepares To Reorganize Foreign Policy Team
Zero Hedge ^ | Feb 23, 2017 | "Tyler Durden"

Posted on 02/25/2017 11:13:55 AM PST by GoldenState_Rose

"...veterans of past administrations and members of Congress from both parties criticized the decision to put Mr. Bannon on the principals committee, saying that it risked injecting politics into national security. President George W. Bush’s senior adviser, Karl Rove, was generally kept out of sensitive national security meetings. Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, David Axelrod, attended some national security meetings but was not given formal status."

"As for Bannon, who may be cut from the NSC, Trump's decision will be carefully watched as such a move would be potentially perceived as a relaxation of Bannon's influence over Trump, a topic which has been of material focus for the press in recent weeks."

Steve Bannon is the most important figure in our President's inner circle. Truly one of our own.

Oh, are they not trustworthy? (Didn’t know)...Drudge touts them sometimes...Though they are only stating what my gut worry was after the initial announcement.

McMaster does not believe that Islam is inherently a danger to us.
He was a bad choice.

More junk/fake news from the Ny Slimes being reborn as new junk/fake news:

But the most notable proposed change has to do with the fate of Steve Bannon on the NSC, who may be removed from the principals committee: “Under the original organization plan last month, Mr. Bannon was invited to attend any National Security Council meeting led by the president and was made a regular member of the so-called principals committee of cabinet secretaries. One senior official supportive of Mr. Bannon’s position said it would not change under any reorganization. Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, said this week that Mr. McMaster would have full authority to organize his staff, but that any change in Mr. Bannon’s status would have to be approved by the president.”

“However, the NYT notes, that veterans of past administrations and members of Congress from both parties criticized the decision to put Mr. Bannon on the principals committee, saying that it risked injecting politics into national security. President George W. Bush’s senior adviser, Karl Rove, was generally kept out of sensitive national security meetings. Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, David Axelrod, attended some national security meetings but was not given formal status.”

“But Mr. Trump was surprised by the intensity of the blowback to the initial order, and complained that Mr. Flynn had not made him understand the significance of the changes or how they would be perceived, according to senior officials.”

“The NYT explains that White House officials were talking about revising the organization chart even before Mr. McMaster’s appointment, but the issue came to a head after Mr. Trump asked for Mr. Flynn’s resignation last week because Mr. Flynn had misled Vice President Mike Pence and other White House officials about what he discussed with Russia’s ambassador in a December phone call.”

So Zero News, takes warmed over Ny Slimes Fake news and makes it into Junk/Fake News.

We must make this our prayer. Guards immediately should have gone up after the Flynn fiasco.

That quote supposedly from McMaster came from unnamed sources. Sounds like fake news with the intent of sowing seeds of doubts with the squishes. Media Stockholm syndrome is hard to get rid of.

ZeroHedge has some pretty decent articles.

This is the media again...they have been trying to get rid of Bannon, Connally, Peibus, Trump’s son in law, Ivanka, and anyone else that is close to him...

I wouldn’t worry about it...Trump and Bannon are closer than you think...

He does not understand Islam if he thinks ISIS is using a perverted interpretation of Islam, they are the closest thing to Mohammed that exists today.

Yes and worse than that he seems to believe that ISIS is not Islamic.
