Important Question: Did The White House Ask Van Jones To Resign?

[berni_mccoy]

Today we find out Yosi Sergent has resigned as well. However, the White House did not ask him to.

This implies he resigned of his own accord.

Is this true for Van Jones? If so, are these men's safety being threatened in any way? If they are, an investigation, starting with Glenn Beck as a key suspect, ought to be initiated.

2. Nah, I think Van Jones saw what was happening & took the initiative.

He's a smart, thoughtful guy and he didn't want to be the story.

I still think it was wrong what happened to him, but I do believe he took the lead on that.

4. No,

but they didn't go to bat for him or refuse to accept his resignation, same as with Sergent, thereby creating even more of a monster than Beck was to begin with.

5. I'm pretty convinced they did.

7. despite Axelrod's denial, I tend to agree.

And they should have stood up for Jones the way the Bushies stood up for John Bolton.
