This doesn't address the firings, which bothers me.
It’s obvious that McMaster is getting a lot of negative press in the last eight hours. Somebody’s out to get him.
Bannon
Susan Rice should not have access to ANY classified materials.

The Never Trumpers at National Review have rushed to McMaster’s defense. Buy a clue, FRiend.
Pretty clear now that a lot of leaks are from Obama holdovers giving classified info to Obama admin officials who then pass it to their friends in the media.
Wrong
CTH trying to be too cute by half by not going with the ‘crowd’
More likely the Treehouse Doofus should look in the mirror.
So? She is no longer in that job and should not have access to any classified material. What is wrong with these people?
I think she’s using the old “I can defend myself, but, oopsie, I might give away national secrets” defense.
Call her to testify.
Call her bluff.
Play stupid games and you win stupid prizes.
The letter authorizes Rice to access classified information that she “received” while in office. For all we know, this included information about the incoming Trump administration, including unmasked information that she or others requested. Given (a) that the unmasking is under investigation by Congress (and should be by Mueller but who knows if it really is); (b) widespread leaks of classified information that was created while Susan Rice was in office (such as the Flynn transcripts); and (c) allegations against the Obama administration of using intelligence for political purposes... this is obviously very, very troubling. This article disputing the “angle / narrative” is a complete fail.
McMaster was the architect of Trump’s foreign forays to Saudi Arabia-Israel-Rome and also Poland I think. If so, then he is a good person to have around.
The real test is how long this letter will float in the news cycle.
Not directed to you, but a general question.
Wasn’t it Trump who appointed Gen McMaster? It seems to be, besides Reince, many of the appointments have been solid.
I would have to believe whoever is advising the President on something as important as the NSC staff, would be in the loop.
That’s just my thinking.
Additionally, all of this McMaster talk piles on the “WH is chaos” theme, spread by the MSM.
Okay, how does that set of facts square with Comey having access to material "matters" that he had previously been involved as a Federal employee.
Does Chelsea Manning get access....
EFF YOU LYING B*TCH SUSAN RICE. She doesn't even qualify for a 'CONFIDENTIAL' clearance let alone 'SECRET'.
> “In the letter (included below) National Security Advisor HR McMaster simply gave former NSA Susan Rice permission to continue accessing historic classified intelligence that she created and received while Mrs. Rice was President Obamas NSA lead.”
No sale Sundance. You struck out here. He should not be giving her one iota of access while she is a suspect in an illegal espionage case against the Trump campaign.
The telltale sign of McMasters’s duplicity is the euphoria exhibited upon his appointment by the likes of Bill Kristol, Lindsey Graham, and others of the same noxious smell.
