Pence Adviser’s Biggest Fear in New Trump Presidency: A Cabinet With Bannon, Flynn
The Messenger ^ | 1.15.2023 | Alec Dent

Posted on 01/16/2024 8:44:30 PM PST by libh8er

Former national security adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence, Olivia Troye, revealed that her biggest fear linked to another Trump administration is who he'll appoint to his cabinet.

She worries about people like one-time White House strategist Steve Bannon and short-time Trump National Security Adviser Mike Flynn — both charged with crimes then pardoned by Trump — and Kash Patel, who has written a children's book about "King Trump."

Trump learned from his first term that he can place people in "acting" positions without Senate confirmation, Troye warned in an MSNBC interview Saturday.

Who knows what you will get ... at the heads of our defense community, and across the government, and I also worry for the federal work force," she warned, raising the names of Bannon, Flynn and Patel.

Troye resigned from the White House in August 2020 and became a prominent critic of Trump, endorsing President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

"Trump exclusively nominated deep state and RINOs. Why would that change?"

Because they were given a chance, and betrayed both him and the nation. They actually assaulted and occupied his home with long guns. They threatened him with prison.

Not to worry.

Cabinet officers need to be confirmed by the Senate.

Trump learned from his mistakes

He was very naive politically when he started his first term.

He got snookered several times.

Let’s hope he learned well.

I believe your Item (1) is incorrect. All of the U.S. Attorneys DID submit their resignations in early 2017. This is a routine practice for political appointees. It may not have been on Day One, but delayed until Jeff Sessions was confirmed as AG.

Rod Rosenstein’s resignation was not accepted as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Maryland. That’s because he was being nominated as Deputy AG and they needed to keep him employed during a potentially drawn-out confirmation process.

It has become abundantly clear that Pence is one of the most heinous turncoats in American history.

One can disagree with Trump without operating as such a tool for the global elite. Pence’s hand was forced and his true character revealed and it is an ugly traitorous one.

He has shown himself to be an honorless man that wears a tattered clock of discretion as a sheepskin.

Pence has successfully made it so that any repub who claims to be a Christian is now as suspect as any other politician.

Pence needs new advisors, but he cannot see the forest for the trees. He is not electable as a leader in the RNC but would do well as a DEM.

Jesus told us to love our enemies.

That’s really hard to do, but, with His help and guidance, it can be done.

On the other hand, Jesus was not conciliatory towards JUDAS.

He called Judas “The Son of Hell”.

Just sayin’.
