Vets out, that s true. which at any other white house, either this one or this one would have been the points for dismissal. for a job this senior in the white house, it almost never takes a year to do an investigation about never. you can stick with never. so the question that is begged here, again in the course of 24 hours i talked to at least ten people who had been in senior level in the white house who kind of qualified to speak to this. the staff secretary is supposed to have the highest level of clearance possible. he gives all the paper to the president. code word clearance, top of the top. kelly arrives as chief of staff and the staff secretary is under these terms, because he has an interim security clearance, tempora temporary, is not able to handle ....
Let me just tick through some of the timing as we understand it to be from the new york times piece. shortly after the inauguration, rob porter tells don mcgahn about the allegations which he said were false. for six months they re aware he is an accused accused of domestic violence by two ex-wives. six months later the fbi investigates and uncovers the allegation. porter maintains they are false. in november, deputy white house chief of staff learns the allegations are credible. mcgahn encourages porter to move on. i m guessing resign, but no action is taken to dismiss him. so the best-case scenario that this white house is looking at is that from november on, the white house counsel, the white house chief of staff and the white house deputy chief of staff, three men, knew that it was likely true that the staff secretary, one of the most senior advisors, would never have a security clearance because he had abused physically his two ex-wives. that s their best case scenario. what d ....
let me ask you, john makes a good point. there was nothing about rob porter s character that troubled anybody on the white house staff. there was no plan to fire him. he was going to stay on board as a credibly accused abuser of women. without a full security clearance. what is so troubling here is had they not exposed it, and i m no daily mail nor is any of us. had they not exposed it would you say that now he s a guy that they had no problem that this guy had no security clearance, is sitting around, telling stories or lies and directing other people in the staff. ....
It has rocked the heart of the man who carried papers to the president s desk, who, by the way, didn t even have a security clearance for a year while he was doing this job. it is appalling on every level. do you think anybody pays a price? i fell for it again, does anyone resign in disgust? obviously he didn t resign after charlottesville. are you going to resign after a wife beater being in their midst november on and the knowledge that he had credibly beaten two wives, known by the three men i ve named, don mcgahn, general kelly and joe hagen. do you think that his denial, which was enough, i guess, for these men to leave him in that job, do you think anyone sort of pays any price with their job or demotion, do you think anything happens? i don t know about a demotion. it seems like right now kelly s job is in a significant amount of jeopardy. ....
Reporters okay to call him a mendacious racist. shackman says people should boycott your businesses because he thinking you re a racist and neofascist. i m the only one who speaks my mind and t truth. i have great friends who are muslims some of them are not so thrilled, but at the highest level, they called me and said what you did is right, there s a problem, we have to get to the bottom of it. there s a level of hatred and viciousness that we have to find out what we re going to do about it. you have a bit of a pattern that some people find offensive. you initially said complete and total shut down, and then you backtrack i always sell very temporarily. tempora temporary. you had to know when you said ....
