ball several times, so having coughed up the ball, both with flynn, the people who followed and turned the job down because of staffing, they needed to do this right, do it quickly, efficiently. it will at least enable them to get past the flynn controversy for the time being. i don t think it will help them get past a lot of other controversies that have happened over the last couple of days. let s bring in jane. you are now working on a project that quite literally day in and day out the mission is to fact-check donald trump, the reality versus donald trump is the idea behind this project. we know that reality became an issue in the conversations between mike flynn, president trump and vice president pence. how much of that do you figure went into the pick here for general h.r. mcmaster as national security adviser? and what kind of microscope, like the one you are now holding up to the president, will general h.r. mcmaster be under because of the circumstances surrounding the depa

mike flynn? this is a win for him. he ll watch cable tv from the plane and say, what a great choice. i think he may have seen the problems with putting someone like general flynn, who was so involved with the campaign, into this government post. and i think that choosing someone straight from the military, not well known to the political sphere, gets a wide range of approval and wide range of people who really think he s a great choice, he s going to like that. this is a guy who promised to make americans trust government again. this, he hopes s a check in that box and something that diverts attention away from flynn. don t think it will, but he s going to hope it does, at least for today. serving along dwst side lieutenant general h.r. mcmaster has been picked by donald trump to serve as national security adviser. taking over for mike flynn, lieutenant general mike flynn, who resigned after a scandal in which he was not quite truthful to the vice president of the united states wit
