Yes- he did want his own staff with him. And I would have to hear that quote- (his reason for turning down the job)- for myself because I can’t imagine saying something like that publically about his CIC.
Robert Howard makes an eight figure salary with LMCO.
Not wanting to take a ten plus million dollar a year pay cut may be a big factor in his decision to stay with his current high paying career after a lifetime career of putting his life on the line for low military pay scales.
oops auto spell strikes again
Robert Harward makes an eight figure salary with LMCO.

I think in general zerohedge shares a lot of goals with the movie/book Tyler Durden, who was a nihilist who wanted to destroy the modern world.
Turns out he didn’t want to be saddled with crazy-ass Flynn’s staffer, wanted to have the ability to select his own staffers. But good guess.
The story says he had to accept K T McFarland as his deputy, and he wanted to hire his own team. Very much like a football coach job deal
apparently though he also said under oath that this job in this administration was going to be a “shit sandwich”
Wasn’t he a Bushie? Sounds to me like he’s bought into the globalist line that DJT’s admin is a mess. If he comes on, he’ll be a back stabber.
Those Lockheed milk and apples must be tasty.
Just stay safe and warm in the farmhouse and suckle those teets with the other L.I.F.E.Rs out on Silver Star lane, admiral. Maybe somebody else with step up and do the heavy lifting.
It isn’t Harward that is the problem, it is his family. They did not want to go through the proctological exam which the press would do on every one of them.
And I cannot blame them. the media in this country would do everything in their power to destroy his family, no matter what. Just look at Palin.
Reince Priebus was just on Fox & Friends and said Harward did have discussions with them about this position and his acceptance of it was contingent upon getting approval by his family. Some of his family were OK with it and others were not so he turned it down.
I’m with those who say it sounds kind of fakey. If Harward didn’t want the job he’d just say so. No need to throw in the “citing” of “dysfunction”. That sounds an awful lot like embellishment/wishful thinking among the MSM Trump haters.
my gosh. they wouldn’t allow him to pick his own staff? that can’t possibly be right.
Well, KT McFarland was already in there, and they didn’t want to fire her. Seems like there should have been some solution, though. Make her the ambassador to somewhere
I like her. What a shame. Press on
I guess right. His wife intervened .. Husband has given most of his life for the USA, and they’re happy working in the private sector - overseas.
I don’t blame her for wanting to have her husband near after all the years they were required to be apart.
