Report I read (somewhere) said Ayers had already planned to go home to family but agreed to an interrim assignment of a few months. TrumPutin wants undying, everlasting loyalty.

As good an excuse as any to leave a job with long hours and little to no home life.

Grifters like Ayers don't reject opportunities like this if they can't profit from it.

Boss just lawyer-ed up last week,he might get that hand delivered Notification? Chief of Staffs usually have all the inside info.

Ayers told him to shove it where the sun don't shine and rode his pony out of the WH.

he has been compared to Eve Harrington in 'All About Eve' and called poison. I think he knows it's about to hit the fan and wants to keep his skirts clean.

He might be getting out of town because Dems will now have supoena power that could bring his "skeletons" out of the closet.

Another possible explanation is that there was speculation that Ayers was the author of the anonymous NYT Op-Ed about everyone was saving Trump from himself.
