CNN: Gen Kelly called Comey to express anger over how Trump handled his firing


Kelly won't be able to handle this clusterfuck for very long, I'm guessing a month or two before his heart is no longer in it.

Washington (CNN)New White House chief of staff John Kelly was so upset with how President Donald Trump handled the firing of FBI Director James Comey that Kelly called Comey afterward and said he was considering resigning, according to two sources familiar with a conversation between Kelly and Comey.

Kelly is in a difficult position, same as Sessions, same as Mooch, Spicer, Priebus.... they have no path to retreat to.
they all gave up a lot to take the job, I think it was Priebus? who had just bought a very very expensive house.
they cannot go back to their former jobs in Gov.
So when Kelly leaves, he has only the retirement/boardroom appts to look forward to.

Unless he offs Trump, then he will be an international hero.
