On Thursday, CNN reported that a “White House official”, yet another leaker in an administration full of them, reported that White House aide Kelly Sadler had joked about Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and his failure to support President Trump's CIA nominee, Gina Haspel. “He’s dying anyway,” she supposedly stated. The New York Times printed a piece from Steven Simon, President Obama’s former National Security Council’s senior director for the Middle East and North Africa, and Jonathan Stevenson, a director for political-military affairs in the Middle East and North Africa for the Obama NSC. That piece explicitly called on the Europeans to undercut President Trump. “Europe Doesn’t Have to Be Trump’s Doormat,” these two former Obama officials suggested. don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the Veteran's Tip of the Day! All of this and more as time allows.
