It has been a day of turmoil for President Trump, who after finding himself on the defensive following Monday's resignation by Mike Flynn (which may or may not lead to legal charges) and allegedly getting snubbed by Vladimir Putin, now has another potential crisis on his hands: according to both the FT and CBS, Trump's pick for National Security Advisor, Robert Harward - a senior executive at Lockheed Martin - has turned down the President's offer, citing "obvious dysfunctionality" in the administration.
According to the FT, it is not yet a complete rejection as "Trump is trying to convince his preferred candidate to succeed Michael Flynn as national security adviser to change his mind after the retired admiral tapped for the role told the US president that he could not accept the White House position."

If he said it on the phone maybe it’s a setup to find the leaker.
” Please Sir, may I have another?”
Nope does not sound like the Donald
Trump should say, “I made a mistake,” and bring Flynn back.
Can you?
War was wrong. How about you?
Yeah, this is another one of those “sources say” stories. And I recognize CBS, but what in the heck is “FT”?
My thoughts, too. Maybe he told him he couldn’t take the job but would damned well help flush out the leaks.

I suppose you know what the hell you’re talking about. I sure don’t.
Carry on anyway.
Sounds like fake news or a setup to me.
Can you imagine how much swamp draining the team of Sessions and Giuliani could do? :)
Will do. Thanks!
I read it on hotair and saw it at a few other sources with no proof.
Pretty sure it’s Financial Times.
It would be epic
You must have missed his press conference. He was brilliant.
And, per Harward, if he refused, I assume he has a good reason. No desire for the limelight? Skeletons in his past? Just doesn't want the aggravation?
Saying no doesn't mean rejection of Trump, his policies, or his administration; it means "I'd rather not"
:)
I advise strongly against that.
Petreaus' allegiences are suspect and he's already put himself in a compromising situation. I am certain there is someone more trustworthy that can do a good job.
Been a fine week. SH*t happens, and you plow right through it.
Couldn’t agree more Laz!
