Washington Examiner reports: President Trump is looking at shifting CIA Director Mike Pompeo to the White House as national security adviser, according to a report Wednesday evening. The move would bump H.R. McMaster, the current national security adviser. McMaster, a three-star Army general, would in turn be sent to Afghanistan to command U.S. forces in that country, the New York Times reported, citing several unnamed administration officials. The move could help McMaster earn his fourth star.
Trump has reportedly expressed frustration with Gen. John Nicholson Jr., the top U.S. general in Afghanistan, because the U.S. and its allies are not “winning” the war there. The White House shuffle, if it came to pass, would be the latest in a string of staffing changes, including the exit of Reince Priebus as chief of staff. He was replaced by John Kelly, a retired general who had been serving as secretary of homeland security. McMaster too has overseen a National Security Council that has recently seen some people ousted.
Talk about major irony in the White House, now that Trump is considering sending McMaster to McMaster's wanted war in Afghanistan after Trump has caught McMaster leaking classified information to the FBI. Trump just played the cards and in a major way, since McMaster is a General back to Afghanistan you go. McMaster will now have to deal with the Muslims he stood up for under Obama on a daily basis, now with Trump playing a major deck after catching McMaster leaking to the FBI and likely the mainstream media as well. This is proof that Trump is after the leakers in the White House, and if you're a General working for him off the battlefield and get caught leaking...Well you're going back to the shit.
