Robert Harward Rejects Trump's Offer To Become National Security Advisor
Zero Hedge ^ | 16 Feb 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 02/16/2017 3:26:51 PM PST by amorphous

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."

Thanks.

I didn’t know these details but it’s always been clear Zero Hedge is leftist in many ways and pro-Russia.

And you think three rejections in one week is a good thing?

I had saved a link with info about the guy that owns Zero Hedge, Daniel Ivanjiiski but the page has disappeared. It was from 2012.

Unwed your panties. Or put down that bottle. Whatever applies. Read post 17 and then you’ll understand.

Obvious disfunctionality? Forget him. Forever.

Maybe he has his panties in a wad over the F-35 negotiations.

Didn’t anybody vet him or talk to him before they floated his name for hime to stab Trump like this?

The explanation for firing Flynn doesn’t make sense. Bring him back and watch the media heads explode.

Can General Kellogg just stay in the role?

I don’t know who this guy is, but if the MSM narrative rattles him, he isn’t the guy we need in charge.

This story is based on Financial Times and CBS reporting. I'm skeptical. I know the NWO Cabal would like to have Petreaus. That is simply out of the question for many reasons.

So tell something. Why then, when we need a man like this the most, does Adm Harward decline to serve his nation?

I say to hell with him.

I was wrong

I had you confused with 2nd division vet and his steady barrage of less than complimentary threads on Trump till Trump won the nomination and he pulled back a good bit

I apologize to you for my mistake

I am ignorant of what your support for Trump was from the getgo or now.

Well, I’m over in Abu Dhabi right now for work and since Vice Adm. Harward should be over here for his LM job maybe I can look him up and do an exclusive FReporter interview? :)

Ah, so that’s it...

I’d concluded “Durden” was psychotic or had multiple personalities. Well, “he” does, sort of... :-)
