Testing those lines, McMaster offered a starkly different view of the world from his own boss, saying that the evidence is now incontrovertible that Russia intervened in the U.S. political system. Trump has downplayed Russian involvement, saying that he believes the reassurances of Russian President Vladimir Putin that the Kremlin was not involved in the election.
McMaster even walked back some of his own previous tough language. Asked about a Wall Street Journal op-ed he co-authored with White House economic adviser Gary Cohn last year that said they embraced a world that was an arena where nations, nongovernmental actors and businesses engage and compete for advantage, McMaster said it was actually a call for greater cooperation among Western powers.
McMaster never was compatible with Trump's worldview - he's as establishment as can be and purged the NSC of pro-Trump people. Jack Posobiec says he has sources that say McMaster is out. I'll believe it when it happens.
Then:
U.S. Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats took a similarly reassuring stance hours later.
Oh good, another person not representing the man who appointed him.
Trump picked these people, though. When you pick the establishment, you get the establishment. Trump's picks for various positions have not aligned with his platform. He needed more people who supported what he ran on.
Anyway, the article ends with an appearance by Lindsey Graham who says he only wants NATO nations to meet their 2% goal so Trump will shut up about it.

The swamp is both deep and infectious. What losers.
Well, most of the nation ignores the Washington Post, so no big deal here right?
I wish there were a way to stop Jeff Bezos in his tracks. Does Amazon pay taxes?
[The Washington Post.]
Were they ever relevant?
The liberals DO NOT like having the people awakened to any TRUTH that offsets their lies and propaganda. /Captain Obvious
And that includes RINO and Dummycrats.
When these anti-Trump fools takeover again, they are going to have to draft women to get together a big enough military to fight the wars they want to start.

Pearl clutchers from the msm trying to keep from evacuating their bowls
Patriotic Americans on the other hand tell the world to ignore the Delusional Lying Leftist Media like idiotic poo that comes from WaPo.
Here’s a good rule of thumb:
Don’t ignore the tweets from THE PRESIDENT.
Cheech!!!!!!!!
$50 Griff and Michael spoon.
McMaster’s little Euro ass kissing stunt in Munich is going to cost him. Big time. POTUS is clearly not happy.
Europes foreign policy elite? What successful elite decisions have they made? They have no way to enforce or back their policy because they lack military power. Their foreign and domestic policies have seen their nations overrun with retrograde Islamic scum.
A more accurate headline would be that the Washington ComPost tells the world to ignore Trump’s tweets. “Just listen to us, and we’ll lie our heads off about what Trump’s advisers say!”
Total b.s. except for Democrat traitors. Nothing new.
Trump IS the top US official. Any underling who disagrees with him is on shaky ground.
WHAT A LOAD OF BULLSHIT!!!
It's not THEIR JOB to determine if 'RUSSIA' swung the election. It's THEIR JOB to report on what is occurring.
Having worked for one of these alphabet agencies, if some honcho wants to put his or her name in lights and say that there was or was not Russian involvement that swung the election, then have at it. But you WILL NEVER SEE THAT COMMITMENT!!
The difference is in words. Trump speaks the truth, he says Russia didn’t affect the outcome of the election. Didn’t say they didn’t intervene. McMaster says they did intervene, but I don’t see where he says they were successful. This is just Trump haters and media trying to stir up something.
My gawd. The Post-heap doen't know that the Deputy Attorney General (Rosenstein) flat out said there was NO evidence of any American knowingly working with the indicted Russian trolls? Rosenstein also said it had NO impact on the election. Sheesh, are there no longer ANY unbiased news orgs. or reporters?
Of course there is Fox News with, Tucker, Hannity, Ingraham, etc. They all have their staff to research the latest issues. Those are investigative journalists. Those who Tweet (I don't), should post major kudos on the above pundit's sites for their staff.
McMaster is a Deep State plant. Should not have been appointed.
The Deep State is hoping to stymie Trump and wait it out.
