Part Five Ezra Cohen-Watnick

This is an article from September 12, 2017 after Ezra was removed from his White House position by McMaster.

“Ousted NSC Officer Takes Job at Oracle”

https://www.justsecurity.org/44897/ousted-nsc-official-takes-job-oracle-cohen-watnick/

Some brief excerpts:

“…HIS NEW JOB TITLE IS NOT CONFIRMED AND THE COMPANY DECLINED A REQUEST FOR COMMENT.

The Trump administration already has ties to the company. Safra Catz, CEO of the company along with Mark Hurd, was on the executive committee of the Trump transition team, making her unique among Silicon Valley executives, who have either publicly criticized the administration or avoided being too closely associated with it (one big exception to this is billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel). The Trump transition team even talked to her about becoming the U.S. Trade Representative or Director of National Intelligence, according to a Bloomberg report. In January, she wrote an op-ed in The Hill, arguing why Steven Mnuchin, Trump’s choice for Treasury Secretary, needed to be confirmed quickly….”

[3/7/19 - FWIW, I just did a little dive into SAFRA CATZ - a few little hot pink flags…. But oh well:

Safra A. Catz has served as chief executive officer of Oracle Corporation since 2014 and a member of the company’s board of directors since 2001. She previously served as president of Oracle and has also served as the company’s chief financial officer. Prior to being named president, Catz held various other positions since starting at Oracle in 1999. SHE CURRENTLY SERVES AS A DIRECTOR OF THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY and previously served as a director of HSBC Holdings plc.]

[[Since I posted this, I have decided to upgrade the flag color on Catz from hot pink to at least flaming hot pink to almost scarlet because of the major Disney connection she has.]]

“…Retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, the NSC’s chief of staff, has also worked at Oracle. In 2003…”

“…Kellogg and Cohen-Watnick worked together on the NSC, where from January through early August, Cohen-Watnick was the senior director for intelligence programs. It was a short stint that brought with it plenty of controversy. He was hired by President Donald Trump’s first national security advisor, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, before Flynn was forced to resign in February. Flynn’s choice of Cohen-Watnick, a 31-year old who previously worked at the Defense Intelligence Agency, was greeted with skepticism by many in the intelligence community who viewed him as too junior for such an important post….”
