MCMASTER’S NSC COUP AGAINST TRUMP PURGES CRITICS OF ISLAM AND OBAMA
Frontpagemag ^ | 08/04/2017 | Daniel Greenfield

Derek Harvey was a man who saw things coming. He had warned of Al Qaeda when most chose to ignore it. He had seen the Sunni insurgency rising when most chose to deny it.

The former Army colonel had made his reputation by learning the lay of the land. In Iraq that meant sleeping on mud floors and digging into documents to figure out where the threat was coming from.

It was hard to imagine anyone better qualified to serve as President Trump’s top Middle East adviser at the National Security Council than a man who had been on the ground in Iraq and who had seen it all.

Just like in Iraq, Harvey began digging at the NSC. He came up with a list of Obama holdovers who were leaking to the press. McMaster, the new head of the NSC, refused to fire any of them.

McMaster had a different list of people he wanted to fire. It was easy to make the list. Harvey was on it.

“I knew this guy was bad news after McCain’s enthusiastic endorsement.”

The Rats and MSM are also thrilled, we all knew he must be bad news and he is. Yet he is booting all the good guys and
he won’t be going anywhere. More excruciating inaction while Trump world is destroyed from within. Is there no one there with enough power and vision to stop this madness?

Hmm, very interesting. If true then I am very worried.

The latest reports say that McMaster has a list of enemies who will be ousted from the NSC. And when that is done, the NSC will be a purely Obama-Bush operation. The consensus will be that the Iran Deal must stay, that Islam has nothing to do with Islamic terrorism, that we need to find ways to work with the aspirations of the Muslim Brotherhood, and that Israel must make concessions to terrorists.

According to some there is nothing to worry about, McMaster is an awesome guy.

They should contact those fired people and tell them to hold on a few days before getting a new job. Rehire.

Awesome if you think this is good policy.

Could this be a ploy to find out who the opposition wants out and then Fire All the Opposition. Then rehire the original displaced?

A kind of "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." thing?

"When will president Trump fire this disloyal backstabber?"

How much does Trump even know and who can be relied upon to give him accurate information? We have all been distressed at the slow rate of Trump appointments and the many Obama holders that still hold office. Personnel is policy and most of the government still seems to be infested with the enemy. Also, some of his initial appointments have let him down. The amount of information that comes at any President every day is enormous and he is dependent on these advisers.

The more I read about Harvey, the more I dislike him. He seems to want to be a separate entity...like the Lone Ranger. A serious case of too many cooks in the kitchen.

I can see why McMaster fired him.

Calling Steve Bannon, Sebastian Gorka or somebody! What the hell is the hold up?

Trump needs to take his own words seriously and Drain the Swamp. Starting with key policy level posts in the most critical places like White House and Snake dept and military and security and intelligence. Anyone obama put in has to be suspect. This would not ordinarily be a serious problem if transitioning from a normal loyal american’s presidency. But since it was obama, it’s absolutely critical... and urgent — to clean out his moles, plants, enemy agents and their enablers.

McMaster sounds like he is just the sort of perfumed prince Hillary would have picked.

So, when is President Trump going to fire this Islamic sympathizer?
