National security adviser Robert O’Brien is speaking now at the Atlantic Council. Hints at more cuts to NSC coming this week.

“The streamlining and rightsizing is concluding,” he says, notes that number of policy staff will be cut down further “by the end of this week.”

Will be down to 115-120 by end of this week, he says.

O’Brien: “It’s a privilege to work at the White House. It’s not a right...the Vindmans had served there for over a year. Their services were no longer needed.”

Wow. O’Brien on the Vindmans: “They weren’t fired...we’re not a country where a bunch of lieutenant colonels can get together and decide what the policy is of the United States.”

“I can absolutely tell you they were not retaliate against.”

...I can absolutely tell you they were not retaliate(d) against"

So... why has trump said the military will likely look at disciplinary action against Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman?

O'Brien is a hack

3. Correction. It used to be a privilege. Now, under trump, it has become

a place to get rid of the competent staff and replace them with schlock appointments that are loyal to the dicktator in chief no matter how incompetent they may be.

4. I wonder how long Trump mouthpieces have been liars?
