Chief
of Staff
"Many in the White
House say they appreciate the disciplined
structure Kelly has implemented, but it has left Trump without the free-flowing
conversations with staff and outsiders that he had come to relish." [Axios AM, October 10, 2017]
H.R.
MCMASTER
|
Head of the National Security Council
"McMaster: 'We
have devolved responsibility back to the departments,'" by Bryan Bender:
"National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster [on Tuesday] said he is steadily
seeking to return more power to the Pentagon, State Department and other
Cabinet agencies after what he characterized as a misuse of the National
Security Council in recent years. McMaster, at an appearance at the Center for
Strategic and International Studies marking the 70th anniversary of the NSC,
said he believes too much operational authority was centralized in the White
House body - originally designed as the president's principal forum for
addressing security and foreign policy matters but not to carry out policy. 'It
did cross a line,' the three-star Army general said, 'into an execution arm of
the government.'" [POLITICO Playbook,

STEPHEN
MILLER
|
Policy
Aide
News broke today that Trump aide and
vocal white supremacist Stephen Miller is threatening to torpedo a Clean Dream
Act with racist and cruel policy add-ons.
Tens of thousands of DACA recipients
are now at risk of deportation because of Trump's actions ending DACA. And now Miller and
Trump are threatening to derail the passage of the Dream Act altogether. That's
why we had a massive day of action yesterday to demand immediate passage of a
Clean Dream Act. Hundreds of immigrant youth showed up in Washington to join this
fight, and thousands of you jammed the phone lines of Congress on the very same
day that the Trump administration shut the door on any new DACA renewals. [Adrian Reyna, United We Dream, October

DINA POWELL |
National Security Council
Secretary of State Rex
Tillerson's situation is
untenable: We hear he's likely to leave by the New Year. Many insiders think
U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley will replace him. Then Deputy National Security
Adviser Dina Powell may take Haley's job in New York. [Axios Future Trends, October 9, 2017]

Top Economic Adviser
Watch for Gary Cohn to bolt after tax reform, which we think slips into Q1 of
2018. [Axios Future Trend, October 9, 2017]

Congresswoman blasts Sanders for false gun claims: Chicago’s illegal weapons come from Trump country
FOR YOUR RADAR: "Hundreds"
of truck drivers will be in Harrisburg, Pa., for President Donald Trump's
speech today on overhauling the tax code. "They keep our economy moving -
literally," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told
reporters during Tuesday's briefing. "And they are excited about the
president's tax reform plan, which will create more jobs and empower workers
and families to keep more of their hard-earned money." [POLITICO's Morning Transportation, October 11, 2017]

Trump ally Roger Stone on calls for
the president’s
impeachment: “Try to impeach him. Just
try it. You will have a spasm of violence – an insurrection – in this country
like you have never seen before... Both sides are heavily armed, my
friend." When asked if he thought Trump’s removal from office
could cause a civil war, Stone replied, "Yes, that is what I think will
happen."
“Most members of Congress are arrogant, and until a scalp is
actually taken they are going to continue to be defiant,” longtime Trump friend
Roger Stone told The Hill. “All he needs to do is punish one incumbent and I
think you’d see a sea-change.”
