More cuts are coming soon at the White House National Security Council, National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien said, as part of an effort to make the council streamlined and efficient and to make sure the council staffers are dedicated to carrying out policies chosen by President Donald Trump.
“It’s really a privilege to work in the White House. It’s not a right,” O’Brien added. “At the end of the day, the president is entitled to staffers that want to execute his policy, that he has confidence in, and I think every president’s entitled to that.”
“When they come to the White House, they serve as the president’s personal staff and it is our view that while they are at the National Security Council, they should not represent the views of their parent agencies or departments,” he said. “They’re not there as liaison officers, and they certainly shouldn’t represent their own personal views.”
“The president has to have confidence in the folks on his National Security Council staff to ensure that they are committed to executing the agenda that he was elected by the American people to deliver,” O’Brien said. The National Security Council shouldn’t be “a mini State Department, a mini Pentagon, a mini Department of Homeland Security.”

Grumbling about what you think should have been done in the past serves no purpose whatsoever....
Yep.........now that he has the broad understanding of governance and who is who.....where they are entrenched....and people to target them...next four years are going to be very interesting!
You have to right the ship and get it on course before you start throwing people overboard.
Um, yes it doe—if you value the truth and look at who has his mitts in too much of the admin right now.
When clearing out corruption it’s not uncommon to let the bad guys continue to operate with a close eye on who they see, where they gather, and who they’re actualy working for. you want the whole cabal to fall not just the underlings.
I wonder how many of those who are losing their jobs will blame Vindman & the Democrats lust to impeach Trump for this change in their economic status???
If Schiff, Schumer, Pelosi hadn’t been so eager to drag in ANYONE who would speak against Trump, they might still be getting a paycheck.
Obviously you have an issue with Jarad....Trump, as obviously, thinks otherwise.
Of course they’ll blame others....but it won’t be the Demorats.
The biggest mistake of Trump’s first term is that he did not purge the deep state early on, but now 3 years later when he has the cachet, he needs to have a night of long knives.
I do have massive issues with Jared, his dad, and his dad’s Israeli influence on Jared.
Trump’s one weakness is his love for Ivanka, which unfortunately blinds him.
Well I don't have issues with Jarad and am satisfied with the work Jarad has done not only here but in Saudi with their leaders and throughout areas abroad.
I won't even address you're frivolous second comment as it doesn't warrant so.
“You have to right the ship and get it on course before you start throwing people overboard.”
Pretty tough to right the ship when half the crew is busily blowing holes in the hull.
Just saying.

I don’t agree it was a mistake....so we’d best leave the past where it is...the past.
I disagree...they were too busy covering their tracks.
“ they were too busy covering their tracks.”
Not the Vindeman brothers. They had all kinds of time.

Ok Lurker...you’ve repeated over and over on this thread your position that Trump failed you when he first took office....... Now how about addressing the current facts happening or at least continue your sulking elsewhere.
Oh, yeah? You’re okay with who he brought in to vet ALL HIRES in Trump’s transition?
And all the Deep State hires the Kushner team brought in who have undermined Trump for the last three-plus years?
I guess we know where you stand.

“ you’ve repeated over and over on this thread your position that Trump failed you when he first took office...”
In order to correct failures they must be acknowledged and then analyzed so their aren’t repeated.
“Now how about addressing the current facts happening”
Okay I will. Fire more of them. Today.
“ or at least continue your sulking elsewhere.”
Bite me.
Have a nice day.
