In the midst of accusing Rice of politicizing Intelligence, it is bad optics to have your chief political strategist in the NSC position.

Bingo!

He says this and then he’s out? That’s a bit unsettling.

Steve Bannon doesn’t tweet much himself, last tweet Feb 19th.

He can! He can with respect to Homeland Security.

But as pertains to the NSC, his agenda-setting role is now driven by McMaster.

The news is that McMaster is elevated but the President leaves Bossert in place. As Bossert has previously taken lead of the NSC meeting schedule and agenda, the President merely remarks that Bossert stays but his role in scheduling may now be adjusted by McMaster.

Each group that reports to the President, such as the NSC, and many others, will have one person authorized as the leader of the group, eventually as things shape up.

The President has not been in office three months yet and he is still forming all his teams and groups. In this ‘news’, he is more formally detailing the authority of McMaster.

Everything else is media drama.

Remember when CNN just last month reported that a long distance camera caught a ‘raging, screaming, battle’ taking place in the Oval Office with Bannon and the President? It was false.

This falls in the same category.

Those of us with half of a functioning brain agree with you.

The others will agree with Pelosi.

The two of them need to get out of the White House. I don;t want them anywhere near any policy, especially national security, global warming , etc

Yes...but I just keep thinking keep your friends close & your enemies closer (best they don’t even know you think they are enemies).

Michael Flynn, Jr., weighs in on twitter, says White House may not be serious about defeating our enemies.

Correct. In fact, I was told that the term “top secret” was movie stuff, and that everything was just “classified/NOFORN” and that the need to be read in determines access.

Well, not QUITE accurate, brother Larry. It goes like this:

So the complexity is a little more granular than the common man really knows, and of course the movies aren't too good at explaining (nor should they be... THEY'RE MOVIES!) lol

I like your name for J/I. Very fitting. They represent a very bad influence. I hope everyone is continuing to keep our President in prayer, against enemies foreign and domestic.

Not according to what I read. HE CANNOT set the agenda for Homeland Council meetings without McMaster giving him the ability at his discretion.

Meaning ...NO.

Now why shouldn’t he be allowed. That is what I want to know.

I do not like this

I do not like Jared Kushner or Ivanka Trump in the inner circle

This is very bothersome

I see the potential of a problem with them. Your comments insinuate I am missing their potential troublemaking. But I am willing to bet they will never be members of the NSC. Will I keep an eye on them? Yes, of course. I am just not overblowing their role in this news.

Are you saying the Kushners will force Bannon and other conservatives out of the White House? That would be a stretch.

Ah ha, that is a very interesting analysis. Trump will do what he needs to do to keep them from winding up as grist for the mill.

Lots of media victims here need to chill out.

NeverTrumpers of course will jump on anything and try to take advantage, just like the Left does.

This is political junkie land, most Americans couldn’t care less about this stuff.

First of all..that dude is a loose cannon.

But it brings my point home about Bossert not being able to set agendas for his own meetings...McMaster, who reportedly won’t say RADICAL ISLAM, gets to set the agenda .

Oh, sorry that comment wasn’t meant to be directed at you.

That was an accident.

I’m with the others here - I think Trump is a MUCH BETTER president than Hillary would have been.
