Ezra Cohen-Watnick: The Man McMaster Couldn't Fire /Michael Flynn seems to have elevated Ezra Cohen-Watnick to his high station in the Trump administration. What remains a mystery is who exactly has protected him since Flynn went down, and why. Cohen-Watnick’s ability to hang on despite the direct attempt by his superior to remove him raised eyebrows across Washington, and especially in the intelligence world. It is very unusual that when H.R. McMaster tried to move Cohen to another position within the NSC, his decision was publicly overturned by the president. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/07/ezra-cohen-watnick/534615/ https://heavy.com/news/2017/03/ezra-cohen-watnick-devin-nunes-sources-wiretapping-intelligence-donald-trump-nsc-wife-who-is-age-staffer/
