I'm betting the other people FBI informed John Kelly couldn't get security clearance are even closer and more vital to the President than Porter. Porter's exposure endangers them now too. {Koughushner}
It is distinctly possible Kelly protected Porter, among other reasons, bc if he followed thru on his threat to fire those who can't be cleared (there are witnesses!) more powerful aides would be axed.
Story that Kelly was planning to getting around to firing them seems like totally bogus, planted story to help save Kelly's job.
Agree that's likely.
Kelly's Sgt Schultz defense has become untenable. You're right. As long as he didn't fire anyone for reasons connected to clearances he could plead ignorance. But now the who else & why questions themselves show he knew about security risks deep in the White House & did nothing.
What counts as untenable in this White House?
Depends on what the FBI leaks next. I was really thinking of Senate & House hearings that will never happen - at least not until the next Congress.
Anybody who can clear the background check wants no position exposing themselves to this criminal enterprise. Is it possible they've no candidates to backfill from?
Plus Trump couldn’t get cleared himself if he wasn’t cleared by definition.
Maybe the later story got leaked because he wants to fire Kushner. I think he protected Porter due to a military mindset: we keep this in the family and good soldiers sometimes do bad things. It seems the Mormon mindset was similar.
I recall a certain couple who were going to do 3-monthly reviews of whether to stay in Washington. Wouldn't really need to axe two in that situation per se, just encourage a review that said "Yay NYC here we come".
