Porter told Kelly he would leave WH in Dec after failing sec. clearance, Kelly talked him out of it

And a big part of the reason Porter couldn't get a security clearance is because he is a wife beater, so Kelly knew about it and didn't care .....


Rob Porter told John Kelly he would leave the White House in December after failing his security clearance investigation, but agreed to stay at Kelly’s urging, a Republican said on condition of anonymity to HuffPost.

This administration is relying on underlings to read classified information and convey it to the president, because he's too lazy to read it himself. Those underlings have not been able to obtain permanent security clearances.

Their clearances aren't being approved, because they're blackmailable. They have done things that can be leveraged against them.

Republican Rick Wilson is right. Everything Trump touches dies.
