“The White House is looking for a few manly men. If you have abused your spouse, please make sure there are no pictures. Apply directly to Don McGahn or John Kelly. Knowledge of Russian a plus. No questions asked.”
John Kelly is a liar (his timeline does not stand up to scrutiny) and a defender of domestic abuse. However, he works in a WH that is okay with this, and all the other Chaos, so long as no one in the press knows about it. But we know about a few cases now. So naturally, there’s shock about the gambling going on in this casino.
So, what happens next?
What happens to John Kelly? (John Kelly must go). What happens to Hope Hicks (Trump has ‘grown increasingly frustrated with Hope Hicks’ )? Oh, and what happens to the country?

Michelle Goldberg/NY Times:
Rob Porter Is Donald Trump’s Kind of Guy
Porter and both of his ex-wives are Mormons, and, speaking to The Intercept, Willoughby described confiding in a Mormon official about her husband’s fits of rage. She was told to think about how Porter’s career might suffer if she spoke out. Powerful people in Washington seem to have been similarly worried, first and foremost, about protecting the ambitious and pedigreed young man.
Porter once worked for Senator Orrin G. Hatch, Republican of Utah, and in The Daily Mail, the senator categorically dismissed the accusations and, whether he meant to or not, the women making them. “Shame on any publication that would print this — and shame on the politically motivated, morally bankrupt character assassins that would attempt to sully a man’s good name,” he said.

Women, please burn this all down in November.
