      Keep in mind that this is how the White House counsel reacted right in the middle of the Roy Moore accusations and campaign, the Conyers stories BuzzFeed News broke, and the broader ~national reckoning~ regarding sexual harassment/assault —>pic.twitter.com/EhqS8PyhzA

          Your point that McGahn is a scumbag is well made - mine only being that the decision to fire Porter (and the broader issue of interim clearances) is squarely in CoS Kelly's lap.

          And my point is that absolutely nothing in those tweets could be taken in any way as absolving Trump or Priebus or Kelly of anything. I am the legal editor. A story on the White House counsel’s apparent inaction here is notable and important.

          I think my tweet came across snarkier than intended - was just a general comment. Thanks for the reporting.

          Disagree. That last one isn’t even on the list. Having the potential to be shitty to women is the 6th most important qualification.

          2018: The year when some prominent conservatives are more outraged about Justin Trudeau's peoplekind than an abusive wife-beater in the White House.

          Why does anything about this story surprise anyone? @realDonaldTrump ran a misogynistic campaign and no one cared about Access Hollywood or the women who accused him of sexual assault. This is business as usual in the Trump Administration.

          Agreed this abusive behavior is terrible , but in comparison to the criminal conduct, in Congress and our agencies, I'd say we have bigger problems.

          This problem is of a piece with the rest of it and no less important. Porter was never going to get clearance, they knew it and they knew why, and they let him handle classified docs anyway. Also? Men saying there are bigger problems: not a good look.

          Security clearance has been breached at the highest levels of our government. Awan bros., Blumenthal , etc. This investigation has lead to some deeply concerning behavior. Evidently our Constitution is as valuable as toilet paper to these politicians. Very scary
