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."

Hey no problem, if the guy is too small for the job I’d rather know now then to find out he can’t do it when it matters.

Uhhhh....what’s wrong with Keith Kellogg?
To get the jump on the leakers, since everything is getting leaked?
Didn’t these people go to junior high, where you learn not to rat on people?
No, you’re sounding like a socialist (”no more profits...”)
The Biotech companies risk billions of dollars (yes billions) and go thru all the FDA testing and regulations and simply inventing/testing new medications. I don’t mind if they make profits and you shouldn’t either, fool.
Trump needs to streamline the FDA, not attack capitalist/entrepreneurial pharma companies.
But if you can’t agree that his comment that “the drug companies are getting away with MURDER” was careless and over the top — you’re not thinking logically.
There are better ways to say things to get his point across. This was just way way too exaggerated and dramatized.
That would be GREAT. I’m mesmerized by that guy. He’d bring a 007 respectability and impeccability.
I did notice him around the shows today and yesterday.
You forgot ....
3) are a nevertrumper and concern troll.
Lockheed-Martin = Ain’t going to go no mo contract form Uncle Sugar.
FT might possibly be Financial Times but it could also be what, Fake Tales (or Fu**ing Trash?)
hamstringed
well, they’d still never hire me
but that’s the simple truth of it
when you work for a company you do NOT needlessly embarass the firm, nor do you do anything that could cut off one of its major revenue streams
Got proof to back up those claims? No? Then you are a liar.
Do you work for CNN? The first line you typed was not my quote.
How did my quote, "No more profits regardless of consequences", become "No more profits?"
How does that work Mr. Spam?
I think dragnet hurt himself there in post 139.
Yup. That he came out of LM would have been fodder for the press regarding contracts, anyway. And if he made that kind of idiotic statement, he’d be part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Your butt-hurt is showing, again.
Zero Hedge is run by a guy whose father was a part of the Bulgarian communist hierarchy. My guess is that after the President did not lift the sanctions against Russia, and the administration took the position that Russia will have to return Crimea to Ukraine the change of attitude happened. Today Putin ordered the Russian media to stop being friendly to Trump.
There were at least 3 who resigned when obama was POTUS.
Just imho would say it is time for the selection to be done by “Moscow Rules”— old style tradecraft without any... any electronic or digital communication. Something the good guys in intel know a lot about. That would keep the process out of the g-dmnd leaker/spikers of obamaumao’s on and off-campus “team”.
Yes, yes, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! Dr. Gorka is brilliant, is on Trump’s team 100%, is loyal, trustworthy, and squeaky clean.
