Interesting choices. Hopefully he won't pick the one that was under Bolton. Not the private lawyer either. But the lady looks like one smart cookie on Nuclear war and terrorism. The other two are Army Generals.
I think the lady sounds good.

I am pleased to announce that I will name Robert C. O’Brien, currently serving as the very successful Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs at the State Department, as our new National Security Advisor. I have worked long & hard with Robert. He will do a great job!

@TomSea
It's in the deleted thread archive along with yours.

I deleted mine and the other poster must have deleted their's but mine was clearly minutes after the prior post. It must be in the deleted post area, wherever that is.
I can't believe that other one totally vanished too.
