McFarland to Exit White House as McMaster Consolidates Power

[Krugminator2]

K. T. McFarland has been asked to step down as deputy National Security Advisor to President Donald Trump after less than three months and is expected to be nominated as ambassador to Singapore, according to a person familiar with White House personnel moves.

Former Goldman Sachs executive Dina Powell stays on as another deputy national security adviser, and a second person is expected to be named to a similar role to replace McFarland.

Kathleen Troia (K.T.) McFarland was brought to the White House by Flynn, who was fired for not disclosing his level of contacts with Russia to the president or vice president. A staff member of the NSC in the 1970s, McFarland lost a bid for the 2006 Republican Party U.S. Senate nomination in New York.

Probably not a good thing for people who don't want military intervention. She was probably the most reasonable person left on the foreign policy side. I know Judge Nap and Rand were fans. She was almost certainly against action in Syria.

A lot military generals are taking over positions formerly held by none interventionists. This is bad u can tell Trump in the few pictures isn't very thrilled.

 

[Athan]

Agreed. Apparently Steve Pieczenik warnings of the neo-con power grab last month was correct.

Trump's the one who picked all of the generals in the first place.

Yes, and this is why the left or people like you demonizing everyone including Bannon and Gen. Flynn just because Trump won instead of Clinton was retarded. NOW he is brining in clear neocons and pushing out non-interventionists. It isn't "generals" that are the problem, it is warhawk and neocon generals that are the problem. This is a clear 180 from his previous position with Flynn and Bannon as the main advisors. Now we have an obvious neocon take over of advisors.

Flynn was an anti-Iran hawk.

I just noticed Dina Powell. (No relation to Colin Powell. Looked it up.) Guess where she got her start? Goldman Sachs!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dina_Powell

Dina Habib Powell (born 1973) is an Egyptian-American business executive, philanthropist and U.S. policymaker. She is the current U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategy[1] to President Donald Trump.[2][3]

Before being promoted to Deputy National Security Advisor, Powell served in the Trump administration as an Assistant to the President and Senior Counselor for Economic Initiatives.[4] Powell worked at Goldman Sachs from 2007 through 2016 and was president of the Goldman Sachs Foundation.

Powell previously served in the George W. Bush administration as Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs, Deputy Undersecretary of State for Public Affairs and Public Diplomacy, and an Assistant to the President for Presidential Personnel.[3][5]

Flynn was an anti-Iran hawk.

And he was in check, now we have an anti-Assad hawk.

A fiercely anti-Russia hawk specifically.

Did "the swamp" drain into this room?
Can't they afford a bigger table?

LOL it's clearly [MENTION=58229]TheCount[/MENTION]'s fault. Not Trump's... you know, the guy who only hires the best people.

This is the problem with supporting a man who has no actual principles or guided philosophy. You pray that he's going to be persuaded your way, but really you have no reason to actually believe he will other than your misguided hope.

Well that would be worse.

He's a shill for pedophiles. (oh and always crying wolf on Trump, well NOW we have wolves thanks to demonization.) That's why I fault him.

Swamp creatures galore. However, I love Michael Anton. This is what he wrote in September:

How have the last two decades worked out for you, personally? If you're a member or fellow-traveler of the Davos class, chances are: pretty well. If you're among the subspecies conservative intellectual or politician, you've accepted—perhaps not consciously, but unmistakably—your status on the roster of the Washington Generals of American politics. Your job is to show up and lose, but you are a necessary part of the show and you do get paid. To the extent that you are ever on the winning side of anything, it's as sophists who help the Davoisie oligarchy rationalize open borders, lower wages, outsourcing, de-industrialization, trade giveaways, and endless, pointless, winless war.

Wow, this is an amazing contortion: Trump is doing bad things because people are criticizing his administration. If only we just happily licked his boots then he wouldn't do these things!

Oh by all means, that isn't the problem. The problem is you dismiss pizzagate as a non-story when clearly an investigation is needed. What is suspicious is it you pizzagate deniers conveniently tend to be EXTREMELY anti-Trump. Not like "This dude sucks", but straight up Correct The Record shill level anti-Trump.

Trump is the one appointing ALL of them. Are you talking about the Flynn that was putting Iran on notice....that one?????
