I've got the Best People

Senior White House official to resign after ex-wives’ allegations of abuse

A senior White House official said Wednesday that he would resign after his two ex-wives accused him of physical and emotional abuse, with one presenting pictures of her blackened eye.

The official, Rob Porter, served as the staff secretary, a title that belies the role’s importance in any White House — but especially in President Trump’s. Porter functioned as Chief of Staff John F. Kelly’s top enforcer in their shared mission to instill discipline and order in what had become an extraordinarily chaotic West Wing. He was the gatekeeper to the Oval Office, determining which articles and policy proposals reached the president’s hands and screening the briefing materials that his visitors shared with him.

Re: I've got the Best People

The thing is... the WH apparently knew he was not getting FBI clearance and yet was still handiling highly sensitive materials. This even more puts people like Kelly in a bad light. He HAD to know what was coming and apparently chose to ignore it. I initially had respect for him, but with each passing day it has diminished .

Re: I've got the Best People

For Kelly and others on the White House staff that claim they didn’t know or weren’t aware of negative matters or incidents that come to light through the security clearance procedure on an individual is a stunning admission.

It appears as though they chose to ignore those individual failures that the FBI clearance procedure highlighted and properly reported. Trump, Kelly and others determine their candidate and really don’t care what comes up in the security reports. This is dangerous to the nation internally and, again, makes our government look like a bunch of bumbling idiots on the international scene.

I used to have some respect for Kelly, and thought he might bring some semblance of order to a catastrophic White House staff, but it now seems that he is nothing more than another Trump mini-me.

Re: I've got the Best People

Since Donald Trump has been in office, no less than 47 people in his administration have been fired or resigned.  As Goose titled the thread, "I've Got the Best People."
