Then how will Bolton fire anyone if Kellogg does it all? Will he and Kellogg work together? Why are any articles saying Bolton will get rid of people if he can’t?
“Why are any articles saying Bolton will get rid of people if he can’t?”
Probably because people writing the articles think that the NSA runs the staff.

I’m sure that Bolton can let Kellogg know if he objects to any particular staffers. But considering that Kellogg was advising Trump during the campaign, well before he took the NSC post, I suspect that Kellogg has done a good job of vetting the staff going back to the days that General Flynn was NSA. He’s been in charge of that since day one.
