Ratting out POTUS on the national security Putin congratulatory phone call was the final straw. I never trusted McMaster. Bolton is like diGenova, a hard charger. Finally, POTUS is refining his inner circle for the better. John B. will not put up with traitors in in the ranks. Traitors take their cue from their boss, which tells you a lot about McMaster.
I don’t know if the problem was McMaster or the fact he was unwilling to hire a MAGA staff. There were reports the NSC was full of Obama hold overs and he lied to POTUS about it. So naturally you get leaks like the Putin call when the WH staff is full of Never Trumpes and flat out Democrats.
My concern is now will Mueller go after McMaster and get him to give him dirt on Trump while he worked for him?
Why April 9th for hand-over? Seems like too much time for McMaster to sabotage Trump.
