The memo at the heart of the latest blowup at the National Security Council paints a dark picture of media, academics, the “deep state,” and other enemies allegedly working to subvert U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a copy of the document obtained by Foreign Policy.
The seven-page document, which eventually landed on the president’s desk, precipitated a crisis that led to the departure of several high-level NSC officials tied to former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. The author of the memo, Rich Higgins, who was in the strategic planning office at the NSC, was among those recently pushed out.

Every day I ask why mcmaster still has a job
Why isn’t he in prison? It does seem he has passed over the line.
True pundit claiming mcmaster doesnt align with trump on anything..except fighting isis
Here is the inflamatory conclusion:
"End State. Attacks on President Trump are not just about destroying him, but also about destroying the vision of America that lead to his election. Those individuals and groups seeking the destruction of President Trump actually seek to suffocate the vision of America that made him president. Hence, the end state is not just a delegitimized, destabilized, immobilized and possibly destroyed presidency; but also a demoralized movement composed of a large enough bloc to elect a president that subsequently become self-aware of its own disenfranchisement."
And they fired him for this! Out, out, damned spot.
There is this little matter of North Korea.
McMaster continued to let Susan Rice have her top security clearance. Why?
Politico reporting bannon trying to lay low but breitbart relentless attack on mcmaster is damaging him with Chief of Staff...who defends mcmaster
I think we are slowly becoming aware of the efforts by the Deep State to encircle and cripple Trump.
There has to be organized pushback.
What,how and by whom are questions to be answered.
Our future is at stake.
Except he doesnt align with trump on north korea..either
North Korea will always be a problem for foreseeable future..and so will mcmaster..and he was a problem even before the latest mad man rattling
“Here is the inflamatory conclusion:”
Any of us could have written the same conclusions, because it has been obvious why Trump is hated by these people.
1. Trump already knew this. I have sent Team Trump two such memos since Oct (yes, that’s right, knowing he would win). Mine were shorter & offered specicic strategies.
2. The problem with this is pure & simple: it went WAY beyond his job description and he sent it outside of channels, around the chain of command, and apparently unrequested, like your pool guy giving you political advice.
You military ppl know this is ALWAYS a firing offense.
I may be wrong on mcmaster and korea..its tillerson that is doing a different viewpoint
“Chief of Staff... ... defends mcmaster”
I don’t trust either one of them.
I thought Kelly was weak-kneed on immigration during his short tenure at DHS. And if he supports McMaster, that pretty much seals it for me.
Both should be booted.
I am convinced Trump has clear eyes about this.
I’m not worried.
“...suffocate the vision of America that made him president...”
I believe with all my heart the above is a true statement.
Oh, I think they are slowly getting the message - Flake, the Turtle, they understand the only one’s who love them are the so-called opposition who doesn’t vote for them.
I don’t see a firing offense here,LS.
It is simply the truth, and we all see it.
It was not an official memo, and circulated, allegedly, among friends.
Apparently, the shoe fit, so McMasters had a fit.
What needs firing is McMasters and his ilk. Evidently, he cannot stand opinions other than his own.
Trump needs loyal people around him, and I don’t consider McMasters one of them.
McMasters, and his deputy Dina Powell, are too Deep State for my liking.
Thank God for Trump fighting back.
Trump is like an anvil—everything that comes against him gets exposed and/or broken.
Drudge seemingly has been anti bannon for at least the past week
Prosobiec claims Snr official asked drudge last week to lay off mcmaster
