| McMaster Advisors Are Running the ‘Smear' Campaign to Save His Job |
| 2017-08-12 |
| h/t Instapundit Deputy National Security Adviser Rick Waddell, Senior Director for Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Gulf States Joel Rayburn, and Yll Bajraktari, a former special assistant to the deputy secretary of defense during the Obama administration, have been coordinating an extensive public relations campaign in support of embattled National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster, according to multiple sources. ...However, sources claim the last week of public relations outreach did in fact heavily target conservative organizations that, while generally opposed to the JCPOA, may be willing to choose their distaste of Trump over McMaster’s actions that appear to spell out a more supportive stance on the deal. Indeed, allies of McMaster reportedly reached out to Heritage, the Hudson Institute, and the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, perhaps among other right-leaning think-tanks. Sources say at least one of the above organizations had scheduled a private meeting with McMaster himself. In short, McMaster appears to be banking on "NeverTrump" currents allowing him to retain his position ... in President Trump’s administration. Meanwhile, accomplished national security careerists whom McMaster has fired, all of them loyal to Trump’s campaign stance on the JCPOA, are watching their reputations destroyed as "conspiratorial," as "alt-right," or as leakers -- and with no means of rebuttal. Welcome to the swamp. |

| #6 Who's David Steinberg? Wow, you have been out of it. Romanian-Canadian comedian David Steinberg? David Steinberg who shrank G-d? Recently created Member of the Order of Canada David Steinberg? Okay, I had to look him up, too, but it seems he was on Carson hundreds of times and had a hand in every sitcom ever made. Off to YT, I guess. |

| #3 I think this may have been pulled from someone's hindward sphincter. Or given current circumstances, protection of someone's sources? |
