*BANNON REMOVED FROM NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL ROLE IN SHAKEUP via @JenniferJJacobs

https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/...rom-national-security-council-role-in-shakeup

President Donald Trump reorganized his National Security Council on Wednesday, removing his chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, and downgrading the role of his Homeland Security Adviser, Tom Bossert, according to a person familiar with the decision and a regulatory filing.

National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster was given responsibility for setting the agenda for meetings of the NSC or the Homeland Security Council, and was authorized to delegate that authority to Bossert, at his discretion, according to the filing.

Under the move, the national intelligence director, Dan Coats, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, are again "regular attendees" of the NSC's principals committee.

Bannon, the former executive chairman of Breitbart News, was elevated to the National Security Council's principals committee at the beginning of Trump's presidency. The move drew criticism from some members of Congress and Washington's foreign policy establishment.

EDIT 3:NEW: Bannon's role on NSC was to look over Gen. Flynn's shoulder, a White House official said.

He never went to meeting.

EDIT 4:Bannon remains chief strategist for POTUS and an adviser on nat'l security/for. affairs. But he will not be part of NSC, per WH sources

EDIT 5:sr WH official tells me Bannon was only on NSC to keep an eye on Flynn & "de-operationalize NSC from Rice" & that he never went to a meeting

Same official says the president made the decision, this was the deal from the beginning, and "we all knew Flynn had issues"

He should have never been on it

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

The cynic in me says wait for the other shoe to drop.

 

[Ms.Galaxy]

Good, the man is a threat to national security.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Well, I hope this is just a prelude.

 

[Poor GRIMES]

Jared's power, I guess

 

[Snowybreak]

Thank fucking god.

 

[Ac30]

Wow, Mcmaster given a good role. Thank god that fuckboy is off the NSC

 

[TheCochese]

The Grand Wizard got cucked.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

 

[Stumpokapow]

Shoring up support among Republican foreign policy guys.

Or getting ready to nuke North Korea, who knows.

 

[xxracerxx]

What if Bannon and Bossert are the ones telling him the loudest not to attack North Korea?

Twist!

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Is this the pivot?

Spoiler

lol

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Next can we remove him from the administration

To be honest? Probably. Seems like he's very five-minutes-ago in the WH now.

Kushner ascendant.

 

[MMarston]

Good.

Now remove him from the universe.

Then remove him from this reality itself.

 

[pokeystaples]

::waits for some other waking nightmare level shoe to drop::

 

[Kevinroc]

This administration is a mess.

 

[Xando]

Actual Nazi not having access to national security council anymore

What a time to be alive

 

[Kiraly]

WINNING WINNING

 

[Akuun]

Is he in the dumpster where he belongs?

 

[Acorn]

Incoming Kushner is a mastermind zionist tweetstorm incoming from the alt right.

 

[Zophar]

Thank fucking god. Back to the way it should be.

 

[Takuan]

Jared wins.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Seems random, I wonder if it has something to do with russia investigation or he just said something incredibly stupid involving recent Syria or North Korea actions.

But anyway, good.

 

[JustenP88]

And now we wait for the other shoe to drop... Something prompted this and I doubt it was the sudden realization that Calamity Bannon doesn't belong anywhere near the castle.

Incoming Kushner is a mastermind zionist tweetstorm incoming from the alt right.

But Jared Kushner is gonna #MAGA and take our country back from the globalist, Jewish bankers!

 

[ebullientprism]

Is this the pivot?

Spoiler

lol

Genuinely made me laugh out loud.

 

[davepoobond]

Wow!

 

[Stinkles]

Grownups sternly told him to do this immediately. Grownups who are now aware of facts.

 

[Goro Majima]

Distancing himself from Bannon preemptively due to the investigation?

Or he's going to war with North Korea and needs saner voices?

 

[Holy Order Sol]

BANNON BANNED

 

[Principate]

Jared wins.

President Kushner at it again. Move over President calamity Bannon

 

[Dude Abides]

Looks like Trump decided to pretend to be President. Let's see how long it lasts.

 

[Fuzzy]

How is he supposed to start Armageddon now?

 

[Patrick Klepek]

Wonder if this is fallout from the Syria debacle.

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

And then America.

AND THEN THE WORLD.

 

[A Serious Man]

Thank god.
