After you get past the way being a violent two-faced abuser is forgivable (I can’t), this is what’s so galling.

That other (dumb) press secretary said Porter didn’t get a thumbs up or down on his clearance, as if that’s perfectly acceptable.

If his security clearance had been finalized and denied that would have precluded him from ever getting one.

Mattis seems ok. That’s it.

And now Trump calls the unceremoniously dumped Priebus (and several others) to complain about Kelly. How would anyone sane ever want to work for this man?

He's a man of character, yes. But he's a military man, wants to blow everything up. He won't counsel patience or caution.

I strongly disagree. Mattis and McMaster are the voices of reason right now.

Our White House wants to bloody North Korea's nose. That's not reason.

Kelly knew before abuse reports that Porter would be denied security clearance.

Kelly knew before abuse reports that Porter would be denied security clearance

The former White House staff secretary, who left the Trump administration on Thursday, was among multiple West Wing aides who had been working with only an interim security clearance.

White House chief of staff John Kelly was told several weeks ago that the FBI would deny full security clearances to multiple White House aides who had been working in the West Wing on interim security clearances.

Those aides, according to a senior administration official, included former White House staff secretary Rob Porter, who left the White House on Thursday after reports that he physically and verbally abused his two ex-wives.

.
The White House chief-of-staff told confidants in recent weeks that he had decided to fire anyone who had been denied a clearance — but had yet to act on that plan before the Porter allegations were first reported this week.

Trump jokingly told economic adviser Gary Cohn several months ago that while he initially thought Porter was “just some guy who handed me papers,” he had since realized that Porter was “the smartest guy in the White House.”

Porter, Trump told Cohn, had not one but two degrees from Harvard — one from the undergraduate college and one from the law school — and he was a Rhodes Scholar. “Even Gorsuch wasn’t a Rhodes Scholar,” Trump said, referring to Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, who spent two years at Oxford on a Marshall Scholarship.

“Maybe he’ll be my next Supreme Court pick,” Trump said.

“Robopes” was never going to go viral. But, yeah, dinner at Rosa Mexicans and a Mormon attending mass at a Roman Catholic Church seem a little too obvious for a relationship that should have been a bit more discreet.

Hypothetical: Say Trump DID nominate him to SCOTUS and all this stuff came out subsequently.

Does this Senate confirm him?
