Trump names McFarland to Nat Sec team, McGahn as WH Counsel
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/11/...viser.html
Quote:President-elect Donald Trump Friday announced that he has picked K.T. McFarland to be his deputy national security adviser.
McFarland, who is currently a national security analyst for Fox News, has served in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan White Houses. She confirmed that she had accepted the position to Fox News.
“I am proud that KT has once again decided to serve our country and join my national security team,” Trump said in a statement. “She has tremendous experience and innate talent that will complement the fantastic team we are assembling, which is crucial because nothing is more important than keeping our people safe.”

Quote:President-elect Donald Trump announced Friday he had picked campaign attorney Donald McGahn as his White House counsel.
In a written statement, Trump praised McGhan for his “brilliant legal mind” and “excellent character” and said McGhan had a “deep understanding of constitutional law.”
McGahn called Trump a “bold leader committed to draining the swamp in Washington and restoring economic prosperity and security.”
“I look forward to serving the American public in this role,” McGahn said in a statement.
McGahn, a partner at Jones Day in Washington, D.C., has specialized in political law and government ethics. He served as a member of the FEC for five years and has been cited as "one of the most influential commissioners in the history of the FEC.”

McFarland has top credentials.
A lot of Trump people are going to be annoyed by McFarland as she definitely can be labeled a neocon.

She's been a worker bee. She has worked for the neocons, but what's her world view?

McFarland three years ago said Putin deserves a Nobel Peace Prize (although to be fair she's saying he deserves it more over Obama who she obviously can't stand). But maybe more interesting in her commentary is the fact that she seems to like Clinton. She calls Obama egotistical and incompetent, Kerry earnest but clueless, and Clinton the only adult in the room.

And Trump has been friends with the Clinton's for years. No new story here really.

Pretty sure they've had a falling out.
