Former national security adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence, Olivia Troye, revealed that her biggest fear linked to another Trump administration is who he'll appoint to his cabinet.
She worries about people like one-time White House strategist Steve Bannon and short-time Trump National Security Adviser Mike Flynn — both charged with crimes then pardoned by Trump — and Kash Patel, who has written a children's book about "King Trump."
Trump learned from his first term that he can place people in "acting" positions without Senate confirmation, Troye warned in an MSNBC interview Saturday.
Who knows what you will get ... at the heads of our defense community, and across the government, and I also worry for the federal work force," she warned, raising the names of Bannon, Flynn and Patel.
Troye resigned from the White House in August 2020 and became a prominent critic of Trump, endorsing President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
I don’t think folks who willingly resign get escorted oUT of the building.
Ammmmmmmmmmmmen.......
>> Judas Pence will go down in history as the worst VPOTUS ever.
There’s a place for him on the Cheney/Pence ticket, running for president/VP of Hell itself.
She wasn’t Pence’s national security advisor- his National security advisor was Mike Kellogg. She was a DHS staffer on the covid task Force:
“Troye, once a homeland security official, was Vice President Mike Pence’s top aide on the White House coronavirus task force until she left in August 2020. While the lifelong republican contends she resigned, Pence’s national security adviser Mike Kellogg asserts he fired her and escorted her off the compound.”
>> Clarence Thomas as Atty. General.
Oh hell no. We need him right where he is, on the SC.
She wasn’t Pence’s “National Security Advisor.”
“King Trump?” So what! How often have we heard about the Kennedys being “America’s Royalty?” And can you say: “Prince John, Jr?”
Think about Don Jr. and Kim living in the Naval Observatory if you really want to pee your pants, Mike.
Olivia Troye was FIRED in August from White House. A virulent critic of the coronavirus response, and a Biden supporting (Lincoln Project no doubt). She went on to work in the Office of the Vice President of the United States as the Homeland Security and Counterterrorism advisor to Vice President Pence, serving on the White House Coronavirus Task Force and as his lead staffer on the task force (a turncoat on Trump on the coronavirus task force- a Bushie).
She was fired by Lt. Gen. Kellogg, Chief of Staff of the WH NSC. Kellogg was Acting Nat. Security Advisor after Flynn was set up and ousted. And then McMaster came in to screw up things. Kellogg became Mike Pences Nat. Security Advisor.
Kellogg is a Special Forces, 82nd Airborne paratrooper Ranger tab. Serious military combat career, Silver Star/two Bronze stars- Vietnam War. Commander of 82nd Airborne in November 2016. Shoved aside by McMaster (the turd).

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!
It will be hard to staff positions.
During the period of November to January, Trump must consult with the RNC and get suggested nominees for positions. These will all be ignored, but he must pretend to be co-opted by the Swamp until he is actually sworn in.
1) All US attorneys must tender resignations, and most or all will be accepted. This is standard procedure for all new presidents. Trump did not follow it in 2017 because he did not know the Swamp infestation in DoJ.
2) No one with a political career will be qualified for any position. DoD and State will be selected from the military and business.
3) Let’s understand something here. No one can be trusted. So sitting back and thinking of all the hard core right wing people you’d like to place into positions is foolish. They are likely all Swamp filth. About the only people he can trust are family. Expect his daughter and son-in-law to occupy cabinet positions, if they are foolish enough to want them.
So in a general sense, recalibrate your thinking for who will staff the Administration. It is not going to be names you have ever heard of. Pretty much all of who is selected will be committed to dealing with civil service regulations that prevent firing people. Instead, they will all be given meaningless jobs with offices at the mileage limitation for how far away they can be transferred.
THAT is the Swamp. That is how it is drained.

In 2020, Troye, along with over 130 other former Republican national security officials, signed a statement that asserted that President Trump was unfit to serve another term, and “To that end, we are firmly convinced that it is in the best interest of our nation that Vice President Joe Biden be elected as the next President of the United States, and we will vote for him.”

My mind is thinking of rattlesnakes slithering over each other.
She thinks people like Mayorkas, Buttigieg, Blinken etc. are splendid. We are now seeing what these people really are.
“Judas Pence will go down in history as the worst VPOTUS ever. He was the man who had “standing” to stop the 2020 Big Steal, but refused to do it”
At most Pence could have informed the Democratic Congress of known election irregularities on the official record.
libh8er-
WHY don’t you find uplifting and supportive articles to post, SUPPORTING MAGA, instead of leftist gaslighting bullshit? It will take the same effort.
By the way... FR is filled with posters putting up anti MAGA crap articles 24/7, in the name of informing us of evolving events. BURP...
Wiki EXCERPT:
While Troye says she resigned, Mike Pence’s national security adviser, Keith Kellogg, claims he fired her and “escorted her off the compound.” He has also more generally accused her of lying about her time in the Trump-Pence administration. Troye has denied the allegations.[6]
Great idea
Thank YOU piasa, for posting this attribute about Gen Kellogg. I fired off a supportive comment in a reply below the OP’s comments. Yours are reposted for their merits.

EXACTLY! And- Pence could have resigned prior to Jan 6th.
Imagine how that would have impacted the outcome of the counting of the electors?
It’s never happened in the history of our country, but then- never has there either been a STOLEN ELECTION!
“lifelong republican”
Rush used to flag anyone who claimed to be a “lifelong republican” as a DNC seminar caller. A fake; pretending to be a Republican so you can stab the conservatives in the back. It fits here.
