Donald Trump didnt realize Steve Bannon needs Senate confirmation for National Security Council

"According to section (a)(6) of federal statute 50 U.S. Code 3021, a civilian like Steve Bannon will in fact need to go through Senate confirmation and approval in order to serve on the National Security Council because he doesn’t fit into any of the five listed pre-approved categories. That obscure law, which has remained obscure because no president has ever tried to put a political hack on the NSC until now, was dug up by MSNBC analyst Jonathan Alter late on Monday night. "

They should of pieced this together in 24 hours...just proves they are minions. I'm so happy Jonathan Alter was on the right track. Or...maybe they knew and were afraid to comment on the issue...most likely that is the truth of the matter.
