Petraeus would fit right in with the rest of the top trumpers.
Flynn stated that, with regard to discussing sanctions with Russian officials, what he meant by “may have come up” is, “absolutely without any doubt came up”. He characterized it as a mere slip of the tongue and a totally innocent misstatement caused by fatigue from flying to and from the Kremlin so often.
Better be a long list. They are going to need a revolving door on his staff office.
Well, he’s a headline-hogging mishandler of classified information who can’t keep it in his pants and has no sense to how to keep things secure. But. He has his own base of contacts in the media and the military, which Bannon and Trump would likely see as potential competition. And, compared to Bannon and the other loons, he would be a pragmatic voice of reason, which is another strike against him.
Petraeus is just a shiny object forthe media to chew on.
Every Petraeus article people read is one less they about the Flynn debacle.
I wonder why we haven’t heard from Comey?
There’s a whole lot more to Kellogg than indicated in this AP report. He’s up to his gills in torture and incompetence. Read 'em and weep.
While Gen. Petraeus has an admirable military record, he has had many, many lapses of judgement, not the least was embedding a writer for Rolling Stone and then acting like an entitled ass! Anyone who thinks that having a reporter cover your every word and then ragging on the President, your boss, is seriously deluded!
His administration dealt a significant blow after not even a month in office, President Donald Trump must now fill a vital national security post
National security was one leg of Trumpp’s triad (along with harsh anti-immigration policies and reversing the flow of US jobs out of the country).
He’s totally effed up the National Security leg, thanks to his ignorance, his carelessness, and his incredibly poor judgement in going with Flynn and all the other Russiaphiles (or something more malevolent) and kooks that surrounded him during the campaign and transition.
Trumpp is more hopeless with triads than Rick Perry ever was. He had no clue what the nuclear triad was, and I’d bet he couldn’t name the 3 aspects of the holy trinity off the top of his bizarre hairstyle if you promised him a stack of gold bibles and two hours in front of a stadium full of adoring fans.
As long as there is a clear conflict. Without a clear and controversial conflict, Twitler wouldn’t touch it with his tiny little hands. Go team. Win, win!!
RETIRED LT. GEN. KEITH KELLOGG
Does anyone know a lot more about Keith Kellogg? His CV would include (1) being the Chief Operating Officer for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, the people most responsible for screwing up Iraq, (2) after that being involved with CACI, who were private contractors implicated in the Abu Ghraib scandals in Iraq, and (3) a long time ago was a special forces advisor in Cambodia although not certain if it was at the time of the coup that ended Cambodian neutrality and many would feel eventually led to the Khmer Rouge takeover and its genocide. He deserves some looking into.
Kellogg is just as incompetent and dangerous as Flynn.
You can’t make this shit up. The “short list” for National Security Advisor, includes a man who ** plead guilty** of sharing classified intelligence illegally, and who is currently serving probation for that crime.
