So the leaker of dirt on Kelly is none other than Trump's former publicist JOHN MILLER????



John Kelly’s allies now realize Trump is the one leaking dirt on him to the press: NYT reporter



https://www.rawstory.com/2018/02/john-kellys-allies-now-realize-trump-one-leaking-dirt-press-nyt-reporter/

There have been several leaks out of the White House recently that paint an unflattering portrait of White House chief of staff John Kelly, and the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman says that Kelly’s allies now believe the leaks are coming from President Donald Trump himself.

Writing on Twitter, Haberman described low morale at the Trump White House and she said that many White House staffers believe that their own colleagues are lying about their roles in the handling of former staff secretary Rob Porter, who was fired after it was revealed that both of his former wives accused him of domestic abuse.

“Several White House aides have described a diffuse situation as opposed to a more precise one last year when the focus of attacks was either Priebus or Bannon,” Haberman writes. “Most think the people directly involved in retaining Porter are lying to some degree.”

Haberman then said morale had sunk to a low point not seen since the president’s insistence after Charlottesville that there were “very fine people” attending a white nationalist rally — and she said that Kelly’s allies think Trump is trying to oust him through leaking dirt to the press.

I have nothing but disdain for Kelly now, who sold his soul (and reputation) to the devil, but I still don't know that we will be better off with him gone. Frankly I don't want to give Trump ANYTHING that looks like a personal "win".

I heard through a friend of mine, who claims to know this for a fact here in D.C., that Spicy (Sean Spicer) can't get a job right now, he is too toxic in D.C. I hope this happens to all of them, once they are barfed out of the White House - no one will touch them.

back in those days, didn't know who he was, but she remembered the eyebrows. I tried to imagine a man like that coming on to me and "smarmy" would fit the bill. He was more subdued and soft spoken when he was younger, but that made him even more creepy.

When Jared has so much free time! He has solved the opioid crisis and produced peace in the middle east. He only had ten other jobs besides those two, so he must be twiddling his thumbs.

I wish this were a joke but with Trump, Jared is just as likely to get the job as anyone else.

Jared is idle these days after solving the other problems. Maybe they could work together seeing as Ivanka's only job seems to be wearing a new outfit everyday.

Actually, when I wrote the post, I used John BARRON in the title, then went looking for the video and saw it was John MILLER, then remembered that he used BOTH names, and the whole thing felt even sicker. Yes, the "Barron" thing sort of makes my skin crawl. When you start to look for Trump's "limits," you realize there AREN'T ANY. He gets away with everything now because of his title. He got away with it in the past because of daddy's connections, "alleged mob ties," and the fact that he is a pathological liar.

What goes around, comes around. When you hang with someone that walks all over people and lies incessantly, you can expect to be treated like the doormat you have become. And once a doormat is caked with mud, it is replaced.

He would be the BEST chief of staff EVER.

He can do both jobs, he just needs more executive time. Hopefully that will be at a federal pen soon.
