POTUS May Dump Sessions And McMaster, Replace Them With Pruitt And Bolton; Carson Also In Jeopardy

2018-03-15

[Hot Air] "People close to the White House say they expect more major personnel shifts this week," tweeted Maggie Haberman yesterday. Attorney General and National Security Advisor sound pretty major.

Cycling out Jeff Sessions and cycling in John Bolton would be even weirder than bringing in Larry Kudlow to run economic policy in a protectionist White House. Until Trump jumped into politics, Sessions was the most prominent nationalist in the Republican Party, certainly in elected office. Bolton, meanwhile, has been one of the GOP’s most outspoken hawks for decades. Somehow, a little more than a year into his term, a guy who got elected president running as an anti-interventionist "America First" populist is prepared to cashier the former and hire the latter. On what planet does that make sense?

#9 #7 I'd caution Trump on churning through to many folks to fast.

It does send the message that government was never meant to provide a lifetime job where you get rich far beyond your limits and capabilities.

#8 Hillary should be a goalkeeper on the prison hockey team so that she can wear the mask and spare us all.

#7 If true I'd caution Trump on churning through to many folks to fast. He's got another 7 years to go and might find fewer and fewer people wanting to take up jobs if they know they're likely to be fired at a whim

Some guy the reporter met in the bar across the street who used to work on the Hillary campaign?

#5 As long as McCabe gets shitcanned in the next four days, I'm cool with it. Sessions has been twiddling his thumbs since he's been AG, and that's as charitable as I'm gonna say it.

#4 You are all in an effusive mood this a.m. I hope reality doesn't dash my new found hopes and optimism.

#3 There we have it, a proper prison soccer team. You pick the goalkeeper.

Hillary, nobody will dare to go near her.

#2 Rosenstine and Mueller as inmates? Please add McCabe, Brennan, Clapper, Rice, Lynch, Bill, Hillary, Huma, and Soetoro.

#1 Grain of salt?

If Bolton Attorney General - how long until Rod Pinkstone is unemployed and Mueller is an inmate?
