H.R. McMaster Archives - Renee Ellory

If you didn’t catch the 60 Minutes segment with H.R. McMaster, Trump’s former national security advisor, this past weekend–I highly recommend you take time to watch it.

H.R. McMaster very open, honest, sincere and forthright with you about the threats against America right now. I think all Americans need to hear his message.

When you watch McMaster, you get a sense of his intelligence.

In the interview he says, “I think what Americans need today is we need– we need a discussion. A meaningful– a respectful discussion about these very serious challenges to our security, our prosperity, and our influence in the world.”

I couldn’t agree more.

He addresses topics such as China, Russia and Putin, as well as the Iraq and Afghan wars. He also talks about the Taliban and how they are today eons more advanced then they were on September 11, 2001.

He talks about climate change, and the pandemic as well. All things we all should hear. His messages are important. He demonstrates how leadership should behave.

It’s a shame he wasn’t able to stay in the White House longer to give more advice, but frankly as 48 Hours puts it, “McMaster would brief to the limits of Mr. Trump’s attention, then watch him shoot from the hip (source).”

I personally think Trump and others in the White House were threatened by a very accomplished man.

The sheer amount of people who have come out of the White House after working with Trump, and have told of stories of Trump that support what we see on the outside should be highly affirmative as to who is telling the truth here and who is not.

When one man points his finger at everyone who leaves and blames them, but all of them are pointing their finger back to him with very logical arguments — you know who the problem is…

On May 15, 2017, General H.R. McMaster spoke out to the media and the public after the New York Times reported that President Trump shared highly classified information with the Russians.

H.R. McMaster said (watch here):

A brief statement for the record. There is nothing that the president takes more seriously than the security of the American people. The story that came out tonight as reported is false. The president of the foreign minister reviewed a range of common threats to our two countries, including threats to civil aviation. At no time, at no time, where intelligent sources or methods discussed. The president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publicly known. Two other senior officials who were present, including the secretary of the state, remember the meeting the same way and have said so. Going on the record should outweigh the anonymous sources. I was in the room. It didn’t happen. Thanks, everybody.

Two hours ago Reuters releases an article quoting H.R. McMaster who NOW criticized the leaks:

“In a concern about divulging intelligence they leaked actually not just the information from the meeting, but also indicated the sources and methods to a to a newspaper. I mean it doesn’t make sense,” (Reporting by Julia Harte Editing by Jeremy Gaunt)

You can’t have it both ways. You can’t deny that nothing was shared with the Russians that wasn’t already publicly known, yet conversely criticize that the inside leakers to the New York Times got it right–very right–down to the sources and methods, if it wasn’t shared with the Russians. If it wasn’t shared or was already public, then there would be no leaks and leakers. Right? It’s one or the other, but not both.

These two statements by McMaster validate that Trump did share highly classified information with the Russians–removing all doubts, and it shows me McMaster is not trustworthy because he’s willing to say two completely inconsistent statements. Both cannot be true.
