not a big deal, other than the war for power in the white house.
It's at least insight into how the war's going. There's a lot of scuttlebutt about McMaster, Dunford (CJCS), and even Mattis feeling relatively marginalized compared to Trump's inner circle--notably his son-in-law and Bannon. This could simply be a tactical move to placate McMaster or it could signal a shift.

It's not nothing.

At the other end of that scale it could signal trouble brewing in some corner or another. Public shakeups typically speak to some significant private problems that have been churning behind the scenes for a while.

Also, very interesting timing.

Sure, its not nothing but its inside baseball.

My $.02 is that trump's inner circle of trusted allies is pretty small, and he is overloading a few of them - bannon and kushner. Bannon isn't really that useful for NSC, as he is better on domestic issues.

It definitely is interesting timing though, you have to think it goes back to Nunes bizarre venture to the WH, and that FLynn aid that helped him

I have a feeling Shannon was pushing for a much stronger and antagonistic stance against China in the run up to Trump's meeting with him tomorrow
