Higgins’s bosses at the NSC were not pleased with the memo, sources say, the creation of which was not part of Higgins’s job. Higgins, seen as an ally of White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, had only served on the council for a couple months.
Higgins had also “pushed for declassification of documents having to do with radical Islam and Iran,” according to a source close to the White House. A source close to Higgins said that specifically, Higgins had been pushing for the declassification of Presidential Study Directive 11, a classified report produced in 2010 by the Obama administration which presaged the Arab Spring, outlining unrest throughout the Middle East. The directive has become a shibboleth of activists such as Frank Gaffney, who see it as evidence of the Obama administration’s links to the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups.
Higgins’s past writings focus on similar themes. “National Security officials are prohibited from developing a factual understanding of Islamic threat doctrines, preferring instead to depend upon 5th column Muslim Brotherhood cultural advisors,” he wrote in September. Higgins gave an interview to the Daily Caller News Foundation last year that outlines many of the same ideas laid out in the memo.

Sounds like exactly the right man for the job to me.
Nothing gets you in trouble faster in D.C. than telling the obvious truth.
McMaster is NOT to be trusted. I wonder which offended him the most, calling out islamists or calling out globalists?

Former NSC Senior Director: ‘Coordinated Attack’ on President Trump by Media, Obama Loyalists
https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3567691/posts
A former senior director of the National Security Council under President George W. Bush said on Thursday that the liberal media and Obama loyalists inside and outside of the federal government had executed a “coordinated attack” on President Donald Trump since he was elected.
Michael Doran made the remarks at the Hudson Institute in Washington, DC, where he is a senior fellow on Middle East security and was a panelist for a discussion at the institute on Russian meddling in the U.S. 2016 presidential election. The conversation quickly shifted to Trump and his campaign’s relationship with the Russians and the ongoing investigation into it.
Master MUST go
If the treasonists succeeded in impeaching Trump on blatantly obvious fake charges, what do you think would happen? Would it be CW2? How would that break out? Riots in the streets then combat against cops and the military? I can’t see that happening being that I know a lot of cops and vets who are 100% behind Trump. Is it possible the military would arrest the treasonists? I just can’t fathom how it would turn out of the enemies of this country succeeded in removing him.
Whoa! Sounds like Higgins and Doran nailed it - - and now they’re out. There really are some dark forces afoot in our USA.

#McMasterFacts.
Rehire and promote Rich Higgins, fire McMaster. Sounds like Higgins is the patriot and McMaster is deep state.
Anybody have a copy of this memo?
So McMaster is either stupid or working for the Deep State?
Sounds like a good guy to replace Mueller
McMaster is an Islamist. A truly dangerous man, like Brennan was and remains.

Sounds to me like a guy going way outside his job description and outside the chain of command.
I think neither Naval officer Bannon or Gen. Kelly will toletate that, regardless of the content.
Once again, consider the motivation of a Trump-hating rag like Atlantic trying to sow seeds of dissention among Trump supporters.
STOP FALLING FOR IT.
Who recommended McMaster for the NSC job and who convinced President Trump to nominate him?
He is a big disappointment.
pushing for the declassification of Presidential Study Directive 11
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I think this is what really got him fired and the memo served as convenient cover.
I’m really not liking what’s going on with McMaster. I’d reserved judgement for a while, but it has become increasingly clear to me that he is NOT to be trusted.

“Islam is the Solution, Allah is our objective; the Qur’an is the Constitution; the Prophet is our leader; jihad is our way; death for the sake of Allah is our wish.” -Motto of the Society of Muslim Brothers (Muslim Brotherhood) This week, we were reminded by a number of media outlets of Presidential Study Directive Eleven (PSD-11). This document, issued in 2011, ordered a re-assessment of the nation’s allies in the Middle East, and, ordered the U.S. to ally itself with the Muslim Brotherhood, an international terrorist organization. The implications of PSD-11 and of this alliance are both breathtaking and...
