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."

That poster was a nevertrumper just for the record
Of all sources, CNN just reported that FBI recommends NO CHARGES against Gen. Flynn.
I have had the feeling that ltg Flynn may not be through. He has flushed out some renegades in the intelligence community and that is a very good thing to have happened.
Let’s see what develops...
Said one UNIDENTIFIED person. Name names or STFU.
Wasn’t this guy in the Bush administration? Bush was terrible at picking people, so I’d say that’s a no from the beginning and Trump actually shouldn’t have picked him.
Was I?
Show a link for that. Or consider yourself a liar.
“For the record”.
I have tried to read as many articles as possible and so far have not seen a single shred of evidence that Gen. Flynn did anything illegal at any time
just saying...
Why do I have the feeling Pence’s team picked this guy
I am not getting good vibes about Race Bannon
On National Security issues he sounds just like McCain
I call fake news. I don’t believe he would say the white house is dysfunctional if he’s Trump’s friend.
Or maybe it's the hand of God at work. Some very famous actors got their start because someone else refused the part.
According to the FT, it is not yet a complete rejection
Then why the hell for the obviously fake title?
Chances are that he would have been dysfunctional. One thing for certain, he's a jerk so I say he did this nation a favor.
Good suggestion.
He hasn't yet, the headline is misleading as usual............
I don’t believe this. Guy’s too classy to go outside protocol over natsec this important.
Unless he was wiretapped. Even then I don’t believe it.
K.T. McFarlane would have been OUT, I think BECAUSE he wanted his own team in. Good riddance.
Stop projecting your own negativity here. Trump’s presser proves that the only “hits” are his administration on all cylinders.
Watch the presser if you don’t get this.
How do you KNOW that what is being reported is true!!! Seems to me a seal WOULD NEVER make a comment like this publicly!!! Unless of course this was on the phone and LEAKED AGAIN!!!! Seems to me MAD DOG could step in and SAVE this nominee!!!
Lockheed won’t be getting too many gov’t contracts for sure.
Good. I did NOT like him based on what I read. Like his commentary about a “good” woman having a few children (bad women have alot I guess)
