Say goodbye to the Obama regime appointees and virtually all of the McMaster appointees. John Bolton has plans to clean house of all the globalists, leftists, and Islamofascist-friendly forces, including the highest level of bureaucracy. It’s become clear that McMaster has been one of the main conduits for strategic leaks to the mainstream media – in an effort to undermine Trump’s foreign policy goals.
(I think the reason McMaster was chosen is because of Trump’s deep respect and admiration for the military. McMaster turned out to be a traitor. That’s why he is gone.)
Daily Caller Sources told Foreign Policy that Bolton’s planned purge will start with Obama administration holdovers and eventually broaden to include leakers and those disloyal to the president. “Bolton can and will clean house,” a former White House official told Foreign Policy.
Another official issued a warning to former Obama officials — “Everyone who was there during Obama years should start packing their ****.”
But the purge reportedly won’t stop with former Obama appointees. A source told Foreign Policy that Bolton intends to “remove almost all the political [appointees] McMaster brought in.”
Trump and Bolton see eye to eye on a more hawkish foreign policy, especially when it comes to North Korea and Iran, and are equally averse to multilateral diplomacy, whether that means the U.N. or working with the European Union.
That has veterans of the Trump administration predicting that Bolton will quickly seek to install his own team at the National Security Council (NSC), which functions as a clearing house for policy advice and is supposed to integrate the different perspectives of U.S. government agencies.”
Daily Caller A report on Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, President Trump’s national security advisor, supports a former National Security Council (NSC) staff member’s contention that a multi-front attack is being waged against President Trump. In fact, the report suggests the attack is coming in part from McMaster himself.
Earlier this year, Rich Higgins, then-director for strategic planning at the NSC, penned a brilliant memo describing the all-out assault against President Trump and his national security agenda, and making recommendations for countering and defeating it.
Higgins, a former Defense Department official in both the Combatting Terrorism and Technical Support Office and Irregular Warfare Section and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations/Low Intensity Conflict, argued in the memo that narratives pushed by globalists, the Left and Islamists are “entrenched at the upper levels of the bureaucracies.”
According to one report on the incident, “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.”
The entrenched upper levels of McMaster’s National Security Council (NSC) bureaucracies were not amused. Higgins was dragged into the White House counsel’s office to discuss the memo. On July 21, 2017, he was fired by McMaster’s deputy.
How would these sources explain why a strategic plan to counter forces working against the President’s national security agenda is not part of the job of a President’s National Security Council director of strategic planning? Perhaps because the sources are among the forces working against the President’s national security agenda.
