national deputy security adviser to be fired, and nothing happens? well, there is so many things to the unpack in that, and it is the first lady as you went through, and she had influence on staff decisions, and there has been intentions in the past, and usually it is handled qui quietly. like everything with this administration, staff shake-ups in general are usually handled pretty quietly, and all of this is very out in the open, but the most extraordinary thing is that the fact that mira ricardel is still employed in the white house after the first lady issued an unprecedented stateme statement, and one school of thought on that is that her boss john bolton is currently out of the country, and that is perhaps some decisions will be made once he is stateside. that would be a big co complication in that the deputy is in effect the national security adviser given the time zones, and he is in singapore, and so he is on the other side of the world.
