There is a fear among some of Mr. Trump’s senior advisers about leaving him alone in meetings with foreign leaders out of concern he might speak out of turn. General McMaster, in particular, has tried to insert caveats or gentle corrections into conversations when he believes the president is straying off topic or onto boggy diplomatic ground.

This has, at times, chafed the president, according to two officials with knowledge of the situation. Mr. Trump, who still openly laments having to dismiss his first national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, has groused that General McMaster talks too much in meetings, and the president has referred to him as “a pain,” according to one of the officials.

2. Flynn must be very skilled in the fine art of sucking up.

Maybe he got some coaching from the Russians.

9. Or was Flynn the asset that Russia used Sessions to install into the trump machine?

Maybe we'll hear tomorrow, maybe not.

3. Perhaps he'll fire McMaster ...

for not correcting him before divulging secrets to the Russians.

4. I have a tiny suspicion

That McMasters is the source of the leak. My theory is fix things before that he answered the press with a A nonanswer to save his job. Not because he's afraid of being unemployed but that his replacement will be dangerous by backing up trump
