#1 and the chaos that has gripped the White House in the first weeks of the Trump administration -- and created a sense of uncertainty around the world.

Obviously a NYT perspective.

#2 That's fast. Could it be that President Trump has a deep bench?

Like Alabama. Plug in new talent when the old talent leaves.

#3 Lifting sanctions on Iran, NO PROBLEM. Every one in the Washington Swamp supported it. Discussing sanction with the Russians, no one in the Swamp supports it. Strange, very strange. Or not ?

#4 Found a weak point and quickly fixed it. Good job.

With MSM covering up Zero's many weak points, Susan Rice, Hillary and Kerry were never replaced. Thus war, famine, and millions of refugees resulted.

#5 Rough game. Decent people should avoid the pace and the place.

Think Don Corleone kind of play. Flynn developed his skills in a military field. Different rules. Different plays. Honor is the military or at least they seem to pay a bit more lip service . Still, you never know the higher you go.
Trump learned to play in New Yawk.

Well, at least its not Syria. They use Chlorine gas in Syria.

These people (the beltway elite) are directly affected by DTS. They have spent decades building their empires and will not go quietly into the night. Their ultimate 'regime change' is our very own. Ralph Peter's world view is also a political reality here at home:

"We have New Testament aspirations in an Old Testament world."

They cannot simply be forgiven, they must be purged.

#7 DC Beltway elites, purged? Yes, ruthlessly and with extreme malice.

#8 Excerpt from Breitbart:

However, after anonymous U.S. officials leaked a transcript of a call between Flynn and Kislyak showing that the topic was discussed, Flynn said the topic may have come up, but he had forgotten.

In his letter of resignation, Flynn said his omission was not intentional and was due to the “fast pace of events.”

Operative key phrase...."fast pace of events." Conversation "leaked" by whom? The former regime bitter-enders of course. Who will become their next target ?

#10 Got a bad feeling about this: now that the libtards smell blood, they will ramp up their screeching about other of DJT's cabinet; the static will become an increasing annoyance and capitulation may be a viable option. Hope not.

#11 The liberals did not fire this guy. The President fired him...much like he moved Christie out of his inner circle. Selfish ambition and a stunning lack of integrity by former Obama supporters is not condoned by DJT. Ride for the brand or get fired.

However, I am curious that the fact that a leak of TS material is quickly brushed under the carpet. I would expect that a ruthless investigation is conducted, search warrants for reporters computers...and a timely prosecution. The intel services are out of control.

#14 NSA?

#15 This smells like the Agency or someone in the Defense Communications Unit at the WH. Look for an Obama ally, likely someone with a rapid promotion history there if its in the DCA unit.

#16 DJT needs to pull everyone into a huddle and establish internal chain of command along with a workable BattleRhythm.

#18 My take as well Bobby. Too many fighter pilots.

#19 Article claims it was a plot to stop the details for Iran deal from being disclosed. Worth the read. ValJar and Ben Rhodes campaign to defend the secrecy of the plan?
