Brian McCormack's recent email led to the removal of over 100 national security staffers, mostly hired during the Trump administration. The president is opposed to the National Security Council (NSC), viewing it as obstructive. Officials claim the NSC hinders decision-making and is part of the 'Deep State.' However, they overlook the council's vital roles in advising on national security and coordinating agency efforts. Eliminating the NSC poses significant risks, especially in times of crisis, countering its mission of ensuring other branches support presidential agenda effectively.
"That is a very strange way to characterize the arm of the government that exists to make sure the others are carrying out the president's agenda."
"If you have officials fighting each other and their agencies always involved in turf wars, you maybe need this process. That's not what you have here."
