The only surprise about Mike Flynn's departure as National Security Advisor is that it came in four weeks rather than the four to six months we have been predicting for some time now.
By now the President must realize that he must have a "mechanic" in key White House jobs like the National Security Advisor if he is to keep the wheels of government rolling and not be run over by events. That said loyalty or at least a lack of past betrayal will be determinant in whom he chooses to suceed Flynn.
Join us today, 14 February at 1 PM for a very short call with LtGen Emerson "Emo" Gardner USMC Ret., our senior Defense Policy advisor, as he discusses the criticality of the current national security environment and his views on the impacts of the NSC shakeup on the way ahead.
