Rumor is that Harward and Petraeus turned down the gig to replace Flynn after seeing tRUMP's solo press conference. Just curious, did Harward and Petraeus not know how unhinged tRUMP is BEFORE this press conference??!!

I think the real sticking point is putting up w/Bannon and Miller and not having control

Are they insisting she be brought back?

...read somewhere on Friday and one of Hawland's issues was that KT has to be deputy.
I also thought she was out but this made sense as Bannon is packing the deputy level across all the departments. The Russian's refer to them as "political officers" I think, there to ensure that the decisions of the department (or military unit) are consistent with the regime's goals.
Tillerson hit this wall with a top deputy and I think they just canned the #2 guy at HUD so Carson's going to get a shadow.

a Trump administration. They're not stupid. They can see that it would be detrimental to their lives in many ways.
As Harward was reported as saying, "It's a shit sandwich." And so it is.
