K.T. McFarland - Just days after Bannon lost his seat at the NSC, McMaster also pushed out Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland, a former Fox News contributor and Flynn ally. McFarland stayed in the administration — her nomination to become ambassador to Singapore is currently pending — but she lost her key national security position.
Tera Dahl - McMaster reassigned Dahl, a deputy chief of staff at the NSC who mostly occupied an administrative role, in early July, per Buzzfeed. Dahl was known to have close ties to Bannon, having previously worked as a columnist at Breitbart News. She had founded a think tank with the wife of NSC aide Sebastian Gorka that warned against the use of "politically correct" terms when discussing terrorism.
Derek Harvey - Last week, McMaster removed Harvey, the NSC's Middle East adviser, from his post, per Foreign Policy. Though the reasoning wasn't immediately made clear, Harvey was brought in by Flynn and was a noted hawk on Iran. He had also drafted a list of Obama-era "holdovers" employed by the NSC, a nod to the "deep state" theory in some conservative circles.
Rich Higgins - News broke earlier today that Bannon ally Rich Higgins, a director of strategic planning for the National Security Council, was fired last month after crafting a memo warning that "globalists and Islamists" were undertaking a "Maoist insurgency" to undermine President Trump via "political warfare," per The Atlantic.

Why is Trump allowing this purge happen?
Don’t understand this.
Trump is listening to some very dangerous people.
Hope he has someone on his side to wake him up.
This the same McMaster that hasn’t said a word about a Coast Guard Admiral in a state of mutiny? The same McMaster that completely opposed the direction Mike Flynn was proposing? And has he stopped leaks? Has he fired a single Obama holdover? (God only knows why we have ANY Obama holdovers)
McMaster might be great running a tank battalion doing tank things. But in policy making, he’s just another traitorous, globalist, moslem-loving, establishment POS.
He isn’t on the MAGA train.
Thanks for the concise list.

Steve Bannon’s our guy...
I understand Trump really likes McMaster. He’s all gaga over Generals, hopefully won’t let it impede his judgement, this guy is bad news. Of course, Trump’s known about the purges, the Islamic stuff so I don’t know what to make of it.
Bannion was not a principal on the NSC, he was an advisor to a principal.
It gets tiresome to see nonsense everyday even Kremlinology was more enlightening that suppositions, rumors and outright lies.
Donald Trump knows what he is doing and if McMaster is appropriately doing what he wants done.
But in April, soon after McMaster was brought in, he launched a restructuring of the NSC that — among other things — saw Bannon lose his seat at the table, along with his most direct influence on the country's national security policy.
This was discussed at the time. The fact of the matter was that Bannon was not planning to remain on the NSC and was not attempting to be a part of it; it was, iow, a short term arrangement to begin with. The propaganda about how horrible Trump's people are is seriously ramping up. Axios is NO MORE TRUSTWORTHY than Politico.
Somehow true believers like Flynn and Mooch can be fired easily while swamp dwellers are forever.
Gen. Mc/M is planning for WWIII—> starting in NK. imo
You think China is going to allow this without getting involved? America First foreign policy is kaput.
The globalists are now leading Trump around by the nose.
General MacMaster is no Gen. Macarthur.
Better question is why do all the concern trolls immediately jump in neck deep for everything put out there specifically to try to tamp down support for Trump?
And why are so many of them either so shy (for those who donate anonymously) or just plain FReeloading leeches who never hit the
links?
I thought they were trying to get rid of the leakers?
Dammit, what is wrong with a little nationalism? Has the urge to self destruct infected the entire government? Even Trump has his moments, but deplorable me still supports him, and plan on gladly voting for him again.
I hope there is a shadow NSC that has Trumps ear
The only thing I can figure is that they are moving these pieces elsewhere prior to closing down the operation or limiting it’s scope.
Otherwise I’m with you - it doesn’t make sense. But we have limited info.
“Why is Trump allowing this purge happen? “
Because he doesn’t care what the Weekly Standard and something called Axios think is important?
