Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley is claiming two former cabinet members tried to recruit her to help undermine the president. In a recent interview, Haley said former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly confronted her in a closed-door meeting to enlist her in opposing President Trump.
Haley will detail the alleged meeting in her soon to be released memoir, With All Due Respect. She said Kelly and Tillerson confided in me that when they resisted the president, they werent being insubordinate they were trying to save the country.

GOPe was so anti-Trump its amazing he ever ended up with any good people. It would be a bit like being the first general to enter a conquered country. You know they hate you. Who can you trust? Who is actively plotting to stab you in the back? Are there any decent people at all who will help you do the right thing?

Why didn't she go right to President Trump and tell him....that's shucking your duty.

I wouldn’t add Bolton to this list of American traitors. Although Bolton may have a passionate dislike of Trump — maybe even hatred — unlike the others I think Bolton loves our Republic and our Constitution and will not undermine the Office of the Executive by participating in this attempted coup d’etat.

I was able to help save America when we threw out the weasel Eric Cantor the day before he planned to pass amnesty.
Both parties targeted Dave Brat in 2018 in retaliation.
Redistricted in a way to make it Democrat.
Now we have a CIA weasel.
McAwful institutionalized vote fraud as well.

According to the book, Kelley and Tillison blocked her from meeting with Trump. They couldn't have blocked her from having any communication with the president over several months. Not if she was really determined to get a message to him.

Man.....he picked Priebus for chief of staff. He was fumbling in the dark in those early days. It was OJT for DJT. Of course... just trust the plan! He made so many bad selections but someone each one got corrected.
It certainly was a miracle he won and he’s still standing. Those narrow margins in crucial states were nothing short of divine intervention. Ya...I know...it was the Russians.......
The Almighty must slip a tweet in here and there just to keep him on the right track.

It was a hostile takeover of the GOP that President Trump engineered.
They had successfully blocked us from electing anyone who was America First.
They already have us 30 million people down the road to being North Mexico.
They have no intention of helping President Trump, they are still resisting in the ways that count, even the ones who appear to be allies, like Flimsey Grahamnesty.
To get the fence started, he had to go around Congress, the fence that Congress has been promising since 1986.
And again in 2006.
Bush League Republicans MUST be replaced.
Skunks don’t change their stripes.

She could have held a press conference at the time instead of remaining silent.

Nikki has constantly hedged her bets on Trump. Why is she just now revealing her recruitment? Did she tell Trump in timely fashion? (Maybe, because they are gone and she is his fair haired girl). But I do not trust her.
Trump has trusted and entrusted so many (too many) deceitful snakes.

To: bigbob
youd be adding Ivanka an Jared, Mike Pence, and Haley herself. See how dumb a list you can make.Yes, I'd add them to the list along with 95% (+/-) of all elected Republicans. And shall we talk about the proud conservatives who have conserved nothing over the past 30 years? Especially American heritage & culture? Trump stand mostly alone against the mess we're in and he alone will get my vote next November.
To: Enlightened1
I always distrusted Tillerson,who as I remember approved gay scout masters etc. IMO anyone who did that is a not to be trusted. Watch out for Haley and yes, also Bolton.
So far Barr seems like he has it together and is not so ambitious as to betray anyone for power.

You might have noticed today how former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N, Nikki Haley, has grabbed multiple headlines. Apparently within her new book, the former South Carolina republican – who removed historic monuments and then moved her permanent residence to New York, has outlined Rex Tillerson and John Kelly as stealth insiders working to undermine President Trump and attempting to bring Haley into their clique.
This move is so typically Nikki Haley it would almost have been predictable right?
Well, it was.
In 2018 CTH foretold and forewarned of exactly what Nikki Haley would do. She is as predictable as the sunrise. [SEE HERE] Everything about Nikki Haley is opportunistic, political and false. Nikki Haley is the female version of Mitt Romney.
CTH Archives […] Due to the increasing success of the MAGA or Trump Republican apparatus, Haley will need to carefully position herself as a stealth Decepticon and not upset the vulgarian hordes; ie. the new republican party base voter.
As a smart and tactical politician Haley will invest heavily in the optics of supporting the MAGA movement; and embrace President Trump to avoid any conflict. (more)
I’m not going to write about it again. CTH forecast exactly what would happen.
Nikki Haley relies on people with short memories. She is a liar, a manipulator, and a purely political animal. She wants to be president. She will manipulate anyone and everyone in the process in order to achieve her career goals.
Remember in January 2016 when Nikki Haley gave the State of the Union rebuttal so she could attack the outside candidacy of Donald Trump? A month later she endorsed Marco Rubio for president. Or maybe you remember in June 2016 when Nikki Haley blamed Trump supporters for causing violence in San Jose?
Nikki Haley has one priority, Nikki Haley. Everything else is a transaction.
She claimed South Carolina as her home in order to advance her political career. Haley would never have become Governor without the endorsement of Sarah Palin and the help of the Tea Party; months later Haley openly rebuked, dismissed and disparaged Ms. Palin.
Haley enamored herself with the uniparty political ruling class, and after the politically correct and opportunistic response to the Emmanuel Church shooting, including the removal of all confederate flags, civil war monuments and historic South Carolina history….. she bailed out of South Carolina permanently and moved to New York.
Haley is for Haley, and she will do anything, sell-out anyone, and hitch her wagon to any helpful enterprise (ie. MAGA) to attain her political ambitions. In 2016 she thought Marco Rubio was her best play; then she moved to join the Trump administration. Now she has her eyes on the oval office.
She is the worst form of politician.
If Nikki Haley can ride a coup into the White House….
Don’t take my word for it, ask Rex Tillerson and John Kelly.

So much for Semper Fidelis eh General? Oh!...and how about your oath as an officer? Something about the Constitution if I recall. This is sickens me as a retired Army Officer and it must really be sickening to many if not all Marines that take there oaths and moto seriously.

The Constitutional Structure For Limited And Balanced Government
The Constitution was devised with an ingenious and intricate built-in system of checks and balances to guard the people's liberty against combinations of government power. It structured the Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary separate and wholly independent as to function, but coordinated for proper operation, with safeguards to prevent usurpation of power. Only by balancing each against the other two could freedom be preserved, said John Adams. Another writer of the day summarized clearly the reasons for such checks and balances:
- "If the LEGISLATIVE and JUDICIAL powers are united, the MAKER of the law will also INTERPRET it (constitutionality).
- Should the EXECUTIVE and LEGISLATIVE powers be united... the EXECUTIVE power would make itself absolute, and the government end in tyranny.
- Should the EXECUTIVE and JUDICIAL powers be united, the subject (citizen) would then have no permanent security of his person or property."
"INDEED, the dependence of any of these powers upon either of the others ... has so often been productive of such calamities... that the page of history seems to be one continued tale of human wretchedness." (Theophilus Parsons, ESSEX RESULTS)
What were some of these checks and balances believed so important to individual liberty? Several are listed below:
- HOUSE (peoples representatives) is a check on SENATE - no statute becomes law without its approval.
- SENATE is a check on HOUSE - no statute becomes law without its approval. (Prior to 17th Amendment, SENATE was appointed by State legislatures as a protection for states' rights - another check the Founders provided.)
- EXECUTIVE (President) can restrain both HOUSE and SENATE by using Veto Power.
- LEGISLATIVE (Congress - Senate & House) has a check on EXECUTIVE by being able to pass, with 2/3 majority, a bill over President's veto.
- LEGISLATIVE has a further check on EXECUTIVE through power of discrimination in appropriation of funds for operation of EXECUTIVE.
- EXECUTIVE (President) must have approval of SENATE in filling important posts in EXECUTIVE BRANCH.
- EXECUTIVE (President) must have approval of SENATE before treaties with foreign nations can be effective.
- LEGISLATIVE (Congress) can conduct investigations of EXECUTIVE to see if funds are properly expended and laws enforced.
- EXECUTIVE has a further check on members of LEGISLATIVE (Congress) in using discretionary powers in decisions regarding establishment of military bases, building & improvement of navigable rivers, dams, interstate highways, etc., in districts of those members.
- JUDICIARY is a check on LEGISLATIVE through its authority to review all laws and determine their constitutionality.
- LEGISLATIVE (Congress) has restraining power over JUDICIARY, with constitutional authority to restrict extent of its jurisdiction.
- LEGISLATIVE has power to impeach members of JUDICIARY guilty of treason, high crimes, or misdemeanors.
- EXECUTIVE (President) is a check on JUDICIARY by having power to nominate new judges.
- LEGISLATIVE (Senate) is a check on EXECUTIVE and JUDICIARY having power to approve/disapprove nominations of judges.
- LEGISLATIVE is a check on JUDICIARY - having control of appropriations for operation of federal court system.
- LEGISLATIVE (Peoples Representatives) is a check on both EXECUTIVE and JUDICIARY through power to initiate amendments to Constitution subject to approval by 3/4 of the States.
- LEGISLATIVE (Senate) has power to impeach EXECUTIVE (President) with concurrence of 2/3, of members.
- The PEOPLE, through their State representatives, may restrain the power of the federal LEGISLATURE if 3/4 of the States do not ratify proposed Constitutional Amendments.
- LEGISLATIVE, by Joint Resolution, can terminate certain powers granted to EXECUTIVE (President) (such as war powers) without his consent.
- It is the PEOPLE who have the final check on both LEGISLATIVE and EXECUTIVE when they vote on their Representatives every 2 years, their Senators every 6 years, and their President every 4 years. Through those selections, they also influence the potential makeup of the JUDICIARY.
It is up to each generation to see that the integrity of the Constitutional structure for a free society is maintained by carefully preserving the system of checks and balances essential to limited and balanced government. "To preserve them (is) as necessary as to institute them," said George Washington.

You can always tell who the Dem trolls are here, because they’re the first to shoot down anybody unlikely who is a Trump supporter...which Haley was. She did a great job at the UN, she’s not a globalist, she defended Trump’s policies, and if Pence doesn’t want to go through another four years of misery and declines the VP nomination, I hope she’s it.

100% correct.
She wants to be the next usurper.
She was born an Indian national from two Indian national parents and is NOT a natural born citizen.
She's also the one who just told the entire world that two of Trump's aides were conspiring against him. I'll all for healthy suspicion, but paranoia which drives away friends and allies is not OK.
