I am pleased to announce that I will name Robert C. O’Brien, currently serving as the very successful Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs at the State Department, as our new National Security Advisor. I have worked long & hard with Robert. He will do a great job!

“O’Brien also served during the Obama administration as co-chairman of the State Department’s public-private partnership for Justice Reform in Afghanistan”

Let’s look quickly at the resumes of the three men who have already served as National Security Advisor for President Trump, focusing on what they’d done to get them to that point, and compare them to the resume of the newly named next in line, Robert O’Brien.
1/5
Michael Flynn served 33 years in the US Army, becoming a Lieutenant General. He was director of intelligence for US Central Command and then for the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.
He spent two years as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.
2/5
H. R. McMaster had 34 years in the US Army, becoming a Lieutenant General. He was J-5 (planning) for the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan and deputy commanding general of the Army’s Training and Doctrine Command.
He also taught at West Point.
3/5
John Bolton worked in the Departments of State and Justice and the US Agency for International Development. He was an assistant secretary of state, and twice an assistant attorney general.
In the Bush 43 years, he served as undersecretary of state and ambassador to the UN.
4/5
Robert O’Brien is a lawyer. He was an alternate rep to the UN General Assembly in 2005-06. He served on two public-private partnership commissions.
He’s been special presidential envoy for hostage affairs for 16 months. And he attended the trial of A$AP Rocky in Sweden.
/end
Guy must have done a hell of a job on the A$AP Rocky Affair.

But A$AP got convicted and his lawyer got shot (not that those are connected (?
)). Was Dennis Rodman not available?

So our new NSA is a former hostage negotiator? Hopefully that's not a bad omen
