Mike Pompeo, R-KS., for the CIA; Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-A., for attorney general, and Gen. Mike Flynn for national security adviser &#8212; are more closely identified with Bannon\u2019s radicalism than they are with Priebus\u2019 reputation of going along to get along.<\/p>\n<p>Bannon was the CEO of Breitbart News, a fiercely conservative website that takes a dim view of immigration, big government, the climate change consensus and the &#8220;liberal&#8221; media. Bannon has called it a &#8220;platform&#8221; for the views of the alt-right, which includes among its followers\u00a0anti-Semites, white nationalists, misogynists and homophobes, as well as other radicals who reject these biases. His appointment drew cries of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jta.org\/2016\/11\/15\/news-opinion\/politics\/bannon-appointment-poses-dilemma-for-jews-who-seek-white-house-access\" target=\"_blank\">dismay<\/a> in some Jewish quarters.<\/p>\n<p>Priebus, the laid-back Midwesterner who chairs the Republican National Committee, is a product of the establishment and gets along well with the Republican spectrum. He\u2019s even been known to shmooze with his counterparts at the Democratic National Committee.<\/p>\n<p>Friday\u2019s announcements may be an early sign of the Bannonization of the Trump presidency.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, they may be signs that Trump\u2019s personal and abrasive approach to campaigning may be carrying over into his presidency: Sessions was on a shortlist until The New York Times ran an<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/11\/17\/us\/politics\/specter-of-race-shadows-jeff-sessions-potential-trump-nominee-for-cabinet.html?_r=1\" target=\"_blank\"> article<\/a> Thursday delving into racist comments he allegedly made in his past.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s reaction? Within an hour or so, a rare release from his transition team said Trump was \u201cunbelievably impressed\u201d with Sessions, and then, on Friday, the news that Sessions had secured the job as America\u2019s top lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>The appointment may have been a sign of Trump&#8217;s predilection of sticking it to his critics, especially in the media, or rewarding the loyalty of early supporters.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some notes on the appointees&#8217; careers, with Jewish accents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mike Pompeo, CIA director<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_33086\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Pompeo.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33086\" class=\"wp-image-33086 size-thumbnail lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Pompeo-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 01:  Rep.

He is a reliable backer of Israel and last November had high praise for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after they met on an Israel tour.<\/p>\n<p>The Kansas Republican backed the House vote this week for a 10-year extension on Iran sanctions, many of which are currently under presidential waiver because of the nuclear deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExtending sanctions on Iran\u2019s weapons programs is an important part of keeping Americans safe,\u201d Pompeo said in a statement. \u201cRe-authorizing existing prohibitions for an additional 10 years provides President-elect Trump and Congress a solid foundation from which to pursue additional action against the Islamic Republic of Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Iran, though, makes Pompeo see red. The byword among opponents to the Iran deal is that toughening it is the likelier way to head off a war. In 2014, Pompeo told reporters war might be the way to go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn an unclassified setting, it is under 2,000 sorties to destroy the Iranian nuclear capacity. This is not an insurmountable task for the coalition forces,\u201d he was <a href=\"http:\/\/abcnewsradioonline.com\/politics-news\/sen-elect-tom-cotton-put-an-end-to-iran-nuclear-talks.html\" target=\"_blank\">quoted<\/a> by ABC Radio as saying at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Pompeo, a former Army officer and a Tea Party Republican, dissented from Republicans investigating the 2012 attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, who ultimately cleared Hillary Clinton, then the secretary of state and later the Democratic presidential nominee, of culpability. He also has opposed efforts to address climate change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jeff Sessions, attorney general<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before he was a senator, Sessions was a U.S. attorney in Alabama who hoped to be a federal judge; President Ronald Reagan nominated him to the regional District Court.

Gen. Michael Flynn in Washington, D.C, Feb. 4, 2014. (Alex Wong\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Flynn, a Defense Intelligence Agency chief sacked by President Barack Obama because of allegations that the agency was in disarray, has been one of Trump\u2019s most incendiary surrogates.<\/p>\n<p>At the Republican convention in July, when Trump and other surrogates, like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, tried to quiet audience demands that Clinton be jailed, Flynn encouraged them. In a sign of Flynn\u2019s influence, Trump within weeks\u00a0was reversing course, pledging to jail Clinton should he be elected. (Post-election, Trump has walked back from, if not entirely dismissed, that pledge.)<\/p>\n<p>Flynn also shares Trump\u2019s disdain for nuance in criticizing militancy among Muslims. Unlike the majority of Republicans, who single out \u201cIslamists\u201d or \u201cradical jihadists\u201d or some variation thereof, Flynn emphatically targets the entire faith.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFear of Muslims is RATIONAL,\u201d he said in one February <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GenFlynn\/status\/703387702998278144\" target=\"_blank\">Tweet<\/a> now making the rounds.<\/p>\n<p>More troubling for Jews, in July, Flynn <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Beer__Wolf\/status\/799459170101628928\" target=\"_blank\">retweeted <\/a>a tweet attached to a CNN story in which the Clinton campaign blamed the theft of emails from the Democratic National Committee on Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Flynn\u2019s comment attached to the retweet was incendiary but not untypical: \u201cThe corrupt Democratic machine will do and say anything to get #NeverHillary into power. This is a new low.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What was shocking was that the tweeter whom Flynn was approvingly retweeting, \u201cSaint Bibiana,\u201d bearing an icon showing a Confederate soldier, was not just blaming Democrats: \u201c&#8217;The USSR is to blame!\u2019\u201d said Saint Bibiana. \u201cNot anymore, Jews. Not anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Flynn<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2016\/07\/24\/politics\/michael-flynn-tweet\/\" target=\"_blank\"> deleted his tweet and apologized<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In security briefings with Trump, Flynn reportedly has alarmed intelligence officials who have blamed cyberattacks on Russia. Flynn has been paid for a speech in Moscow and attended an official dinner with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The closeness of a national security adviser to a regime that has joined Iran in a loose military alliance with the Assad rule in Syria is sure to rattle some in Israel\u2019s security establishment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The president-elect would be better served by someone with a healthy skepticism about Russian intentions,&#8221; Schiff said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepAdamSchiff\/status\/799451393526534144\" target=\"_blank\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Flynn\u2019s consulting firm has also done work for Turkish clients. Flynn has said that he would divest himself of the company should he go into government service.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The secretaries of state<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An array of names has cropped up to take the post in a Trump administration. All the prospective secretaries of state are firmly in the pro-Israel column \u2013 no Russian flirtations as caveats \u2013 and all have government experience and extolled a robust American posture overseas, a view aligned with the Republican establishment. These include Giuliani, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton, 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.<\/p>\n<p>If a name comes up out of right field, however, and it earns healthy scoops of derision from the party establishments and the pundit class \u2013 don\u2019t count out Trump making the call.<\/p>\n<p>Just because he can.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"Tumblr\",\"Email\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Meet%20the%203%20firebrands%20Donald%20Trump%20is%20naming%20to%20national%20security%20posts\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":33087,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1781,8177,8790,8795,8178,8179,8788],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33083"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33083"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33083\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33088,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33083\/revisions\/33088"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
