Who levied complaints against Mr. Cohen-Watnick? My instincts tells me that's a good place to begin draining the Deep State

President Trump has reportedly overturned a personnel decision made by his national security adviser at the behest of Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner. National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster had informed Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the National Security Council’s senior director for intelligence programs, that he’d be moving to another position on Friday, Politico reported. McMaster reportedly made the decision after receiving complaints from several career officials about the 30-year-old intelligence operative. But Cohen-Watnick went to Bannon and Kushner—with whom he’d apparently formed an alliance while working on the president’s transition team—and fought the move, two sources close to the matter told Politico. After they informed Trump of the situation Sunday, he overruled McMaster and told Cohen-Watnick he could stay put.

So how many people end up going to jail over this whole fiasco? Hard to see everyone coming away from this clean.

I mean that is a Trumpkin way to spin it.
Others would look at it and wonder why both the man who eventually took the job and the man Trump first tapped to be NSA post-Flynn, who supposedly turned down the job because of staffing issues, tried to fire the guy.

Interesting.
If McMaster has a bad ending with this administration, it's going to be pretty bad for the WH, I think, given his history.
I have no reason to think he's sour about this, FWIW, but this type of stuff often leads to further friction.
