White House Fires Senior NSC Aide for Harsh Trump Criticism
2017-02-19
[Free Beacon] The White House on Friday fired a senior National Security Council aide after learning that he severely criticized President Donald Trump and his top aides, including daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, at an event in Washington, D.C.

The aide, Craig Deare, was dismissed by the Trump administration after he castigated the administration's senior officials at an off-the-record roundtable hosted by the Woodrow Wilson Center, a think tank based in the nation's capital, Politico reported Saturday.

Deare served as the NSC's senior director for Western Hemisphere Affairs and was previously the dean of administration at National Defense University.

At the roundtable, Deare lambasted President Trump, chief strategist Stephen Bannon, and problems of dysfunction plaguing the White House. Deare complained that senior national security aides have limited access to the president directly and that Trump had an embarrassing phone call with the president of Mexico, Enrique Pena Nieto.

Deare also reportedly took swipes at Trump's daughter, Ivanka, and his son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner.

Obviously true for Foreign Area Officers (FAO), career political officers, beltway orbiters, and military student libtards. Someone failed to vet this fellow thoroughly enough. Lucky for the administration, he broke silence.

#9  See the real leader of the victory at the critical battle of Saratoga in 1777. Gates sat in his tent, Arnold lead at the front, disobeying Gate's order to stay in quarters. Then sometime later both his ego and his hatred of the French, and the alliance, lead him to the 'other side'.

Old military credentials carry you only so far.

Examine the bio, assignments, and education a bit deeper.
