Will Bolton drain the NSC swamp, or is he part of the swamp? I am hoping for the best.

“Bolton understands that the NSC’s job is to implement the president’s policy, not to influence policy,” a former Trump NSC official told TheDC.

McMaster put in a lot of vipers and kept in some people from the Obama years. Bolton wants to clean house.

[ Bolton Poised To Make Big Changes At NSC To Make Sure ‘The Leaks Stop’ ]

Start putting people in prison, pronto.

For a long, long time.

That will take care of a lot of it.

Having dealt with such matters during the Reagan years..., I don't envy him that task! It was difficult then..., nigh on impossible these days but you have to keep trying!

Good, drain it! Unlike so many here that think Bolton is a "war-monger", I believe him to be a clone of Ronald Reagan. Amb. Bolton believes in diplomacy through strength! I've been waiting for POTUS to invite him in. I thought he would be perfect for SoS. However, with all his experience, I'm good with NSC head.

LtGen. McMaster was a bad fit and like many who reach that military position, a political animal. Everyone makes a big deal about Trump re-positioning his team. Commonsense says being a businessman, he had a learning curve. His transition team made many bad recommendations, and he is correcting that.

Well Jimmy Carter thinks Bolton is Trump’s worst mistake — so that’s encouraging.

I think Bolton's gonna clean house. He's been pretty vocal on Fox about these leaks and I think there'll be more hell to pay from him then Trump if any of his guys leak.

I trust Trump even more at this point and I personally feel DJT is starting to hit his stride. That said, I worry more about Bolton's new guys quietly passing info to the Bush League for deep state desemination. Having worked for "them", Bolton and his gang have a "trust but verify" footnote attached to them for now.

Start firing people.

1. 0bama appointees.
2. From the Top.
3. Keep firing your way down the ladder until the leaks stop.

I am slightly to the right of Gen Curtis LeMay, LTG T. Sherman and LtGen Puller.

I think I could be a good fit.

A sage General Officer once told me, “When you take command, you need to have a public execution as soon as possible. The remainder of your command will be a cake walk.”

By public execution he meant find some meat head (there’s always one or two around...just ask your senior NCO’s) and have a Court Martial. Everyone behaves after that.

This is the right approach for Bolton.

“that “everyone who was there during Obama years should start packing their shit.”

If you start there, you’re on the right track and sure to make positive improvement.

This doesn't make sense.

When a corporation cleans house and gets rid of people, they do not tell them in advance, to protect the corporation from monkey wrenching and file stealing.

They just walk security in to escort them out of the building and have someone follow up with a box of items from their desks.

NO ONE GETS ADVACE NOTICE!

With McMaster, there was no room for doubt.

I actually Believe Bolton might just help drain that murky swamp. If so, it will be a huge win for Trump policies.
