WAIT...the guy who backed SARAH PALIN calls Trump admin "unprecedented incompetence?"

Republican strategist Steve Schmidt: The ‘incompetence’ of Trump’s White House is ‘unprecedented’

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/02/republican-strategist-steve-schmidt-the-incompetence-of-trumps-white-house-is-unprecedented/



Former Bush official, Republican strategist Steve Schmidt spoke with the Washington Post about President Donald Trump’s first few weeks in office, suggesting his level of “incompetence” is “unprecedented,” particularly given the number of leaks.

“The incompetence, the sloppiness and the leaking is unprecedented,” said Schmidt, adding, “None of this is normal.” He then listed some of the many early controversies of the Trump administration, to include “false White House statements” and Trump’s now-halted anti-Muslim travel and immigration ban.

Trump’s White House is now embroiled in yet another controversy, with many raising the question again of the U.S. president’s Russian ties since his national security advisor Gen. Michael Flynn resigned on Monday night.

Flynn announced his resignation after it was revealed he passed on misleading information to Vice President Mike Pence and other White House officials about a December phone call with the Russian ambassador.

Worked in McCain's campaign, but wasn't a fan of Palin.

Flynn announced his resignation after it was revealed he passed on misleading information to Vice President Mike Pence and other White House officials about a December phone call with the Russian ambassador.

Rachel mentioned on her Friday 02/10/17 show that investigators had confirmed two of the points in the 35 page dossier. The first point was the information about Flynn... the second point (and so far completely ignored by the "media&quot was the fact that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians early on. Pence, IMO, is and was part of the Trump campaign.

Independent investigation please...!!
