Trump personally stepped in to prevent one of these officials from being fired by McMaster.  This is a farce and Nunes needs to step down.

This is the biggest story yet in the scandal IMO.

Why a guy as sharp as MCMaster agreed to the job, other than a desire to serve as best he could, is beyond me

Treason.

[Confused Democrat]

The WH's response to this report is pathetic.

Treason.

I see. So Obama lifting some restrictions on classified documents in his last week in office so that many more of his holdover appointees would have access to more material and be able to selectively leak little titbits of information that seem to fit with the bogus "Trump/Russia/hacking/wikileaks" narrative they are trying to push = That's fine.

White House officials provide intelligence information to the head of the intelligence committee = treason

Glad that's cleared up.

The President has broad authority to declassify information, which you aren't really disputing, just being inanely contrarian.

He probably was too concerned who Trump would pick instead, if he didn't say yes.

McMaster tried to get rid of the guy who leaked intelligence (Ezra Cohen). Then Cohen went behind his Boss's back to Bannon and Preibus who persuaded Trump to keep him on. Similar to KT McFarland but McMaster managed to kick her out
