The question is what will NATO do if it's proven that their effective leader is in cahoots with their traditional and long term enemy.
It would serve Putin's objectives to see NATO dismantled.

Another official out—Senior W.H. budget adviser leaving the Trump admin. for a business lobby group. www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-04-12/senior-white-house-adviser-departs-for-business-lobbying-group …

Note: W.H. "granted a waiver" from the 5-year lobbying ban so that this official could go work for a lobbying firm.

In terms of power, Bannon is already out. WH is just trying to stage manage his physical departure which includes lining up a soft landing.

Just getting this. A source is telling me that two countries' Intel agencies have handed over audio of Trump kids-criminal acts on tape.

cc: @20committee @LouiseMensch over the past two hours there are bombshells dropping. Hence why the actual bomb distraction.

All that I can see on telly here is Spicey and I don't want to get my info from that little peckerwood.

So was this truly a strategic hit or just another yuge explosion for Trump to wank off to?

Perhaps the other world leaders need to 'bone up' (pun intended) on Freud's theory of guns and penises in figuring out their Trump strategy.

.@barbarastarrcnn reported that US commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Nicholson, signed off on use of the bomb www.cnn.com/2017/04/13/politics/afghanistan-isis-moab-bomb/index.html …

So all roads lead to one place: Trump eager to be associated with this bold display of power, but did not demand sign off on the bomb's use
