Chief of Staff Denis McDonough

Denis McDonough is currently serving as the President Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff, a position he assumed in February 2013. Prior to assuming this role, he served as the Deputy National Security Advisor from October 2010 to January 2013. He also served as the Chief of Staff of the National Security Staff and as the Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications.

Prior to arriving at the White House, McDonough served as a senior advisor on foreign policy issues on the Presidential Transition Team and on President Obama’s 2008 campaign. Prior to that, he was a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress. McDonough has also worked in the Congress, including as Foreign Policy Advisor for Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle.

Are either of you familiar with the CENTER FOR AMERICAN PROGRESS (CAP) ?

P.S. Rumor is that the 'other shoe' to drop is that McDonough or Donilon was the one that gave the STAND DOWN order, not Obama.

This 'rumor' comes from Gingrich: A “reliable Senator” tells me two networks have stand-down e-mails from Donilon’s office

So....if it wasn't Obama who gave the 'stand down' order.....but McDonough or Donolan......IS that why Beck says 'This is not good'.....'this is very bad'....(but didn't tell his listeners what)

Is the bad news that we can't nail Obama with this?

Plausible deniablility on POTUS part (if this is a rogue operation), but he was not at his post?

Is that Impeachable? Dereliction of Duty?

Throwing McDonough to the wolves?

Send him to a cushy prison in exchange for?

So, if he gave the “stand down” order how could Obama NOT know he did or gave him approval in the first place?

Either Obama casually went to bed and told gave him the “Stand Down” order or he didn’t know about it. Which is worse?

I have to tell you. Every day...every frickin day for the past 5 years there’s been something. Some new revelation.
