re: Bannon security clearance downgraded and removed from Security Couc Role at WH

Exactly-and the media will take credit because they helped call for Bannon to be removed completely but they will settle for this. There was a petition for Bannon to be removed from NSC-so they think they won.

How in the hell can the media try to take credit for this?

That being said, Bannon should never have been on the NSC in the first place. Was a joke and make the U.S. susceptible to ridicule.

It seemed like there was some suggestion that Bannon slipped his appointment in on the Q.T. on something that Trump signed without fully realizing the role it gave Bannon.

I didn't hear much more about that, so maybe I was wrong.

Well, you seem to have a problem in general.

1- You feel your opinion matters to Trump
2- You think your side has a say
3- you are ill informed as to Bannon's qualifications. In simpler terms, you are speaking out of ignorance. It's not that you are stupid, because you can learn. It's simple arrogant, ignorance.

I highly doubt that.

So any move among that group means something. Not sure what yet. Is this all the excitement and intrigue you dorks were hoping for when you said "no matter what, at least it'll be entertaining?"

---

Sure, it means something, but again, its inside baseball.

its a power struggle, and this is probably an ebb against bannon but its not much beyond that. I doubt we see any change in policy though.

I do think its related to what happened with nunes though. WH got burned on that one.

LMAO.
Trump can't even keep his people together.

How the hell did the WH get burned.

it appeared to pretty much everyone that it was a circle jerk, and it will limit the validity of any Nunes lead conclusions.

It got the whole Rice Fiasco rolling who knows where that will settle.

that could have been easily done in a different manner, i.e. a straight up accusation, as opposed to this meandering path.

They are throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks to distract people from Russiagate.

Bannon is a pure POS!

In recent weeks, Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, has asked searching questions – sometimes for hours – of inside and outside advisers about the White House's performance and complained about Bannon in particular, according to people who have spoken with Kushner. Kushner, a onetime New York Democrat, and Bannon, a hard-right nationalist, have clashed as Kushner has told people that Bannon’s desire to deconstruct the government, is hurting the president.

One person familiar with Kushner's thinking says Kushner believes Bannon is more of a problem than Reince Priebus, the chief of staff.

“Big fight is between nationalists and the ‘West Wing Democrats,” one senior administration official said.

The White House tried to downplay the significance of Bannon’s removal from the National Security Council— it went unannounced by the press office — as him simply moving on after completing limited tasks that had been accomplished.

“It’s not like this is a major shake-up,” said another administration official.

But Bannon’s exit, revealed in a federal register filing and confirmed by multiple White House officials, is perceived to represent a significant long-term increase in authority for H.R. McMaster, Trump’s new national security adviser, who now has greater authority over the council’s agenda without one of Trump’s closest aides watching closely over him.

“McMaster won,” one NSC official said.

Fake news. Title misleading. He still allowed to continue to attend meetings if he chooses to. Main purpose was to monitor Flynn. Get your facts straight
