H.R. McMaster Excluded From Trump-Netanyahu Meeting

Source: Mediaite


by Aidan McLaughlin | 8:10 am, May 26th, 2017

National security advisor H.R. McMaster was left out of a meeting between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, a move that raised eyebrows among officials.

According to Kafe Knesset, Trump met with Netanyahu Monday evening, starting with a one-on-one meeting. The forum was soon expanded by several advisors on each side, including Jared Kushner, Jason Greenblatt and Ambassador David Friedman on the U.S. side, according to Israeli officials.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was also later invited to the expanded meeting, per an official, but “McMaster sat outside the King David room during the course of the entire meeting.” Former U.S. officials told Kafe Knesset that the national security advisor’s exclusion from the meeting was “highly unusual.”

“For the President to prioritize his son-in-law and his lawyer over the National Security Advisor for these kind of strategic discussions is unconventional, to say the least,” an official said.

I'm sure it was some self dealing that he was covering up, but wonder what it was? Anyone have any informed ideas?

i just wrote to my senator (Tillis - R, NC) begging him to put country over party and end this nightmare. we can't even vote him out until 2020. he's terrible just like the other one.

resignation immediately and catch the next flight home.

Only in trumpworld would the National Security Adviser be left out of such a meeting.

trump just uses people. He sent him out last week in Spice Boy's place to lie for him, now

he's been supplanted by Kushner.

Time to go, general.
