I still think Kushner is on the way out. He wasn't at the announcement about Jerusalem and The Hair hasn't touted him lately. He's probably neck deep in the e-mails Mueller just got and he's going to need to go back to New York and polish the silver spoon his daddy left him real soon.

Can we now count Bannon twice? Sort of two-step departure?

I nominate John Kelly has the next contestant being voted off the White House Island:

Rumor is that Ivanka is looking for Kelly's replacement.
It's disturbing that Ivanka is in charge of this, particularly since she did such a great job with Scaramucci. |

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/07/u...secretary.html
WASHINGTON — Rob Porter, the White House staff secretary, said Wednesday that he would resign his position, a day after a news account that quoted his two ex-wives accusing him of physical abuse during the course of their marriages. “These outrageous allegations are simply false,” Mr. Porter said in a statement. He said before he resigned due to false accusations ???? according to daily mail, he is hope hicks boyfriend. |

In addition to the post previous to mine, this BBC article also has a nice pic of Trump and Pence meeting with advisers in the Oval Office, noting that Trump and Pence are the only two from the photo still in the White House.

John Kelly might be in play as stories of him covering up for Porter begun to circulate.
An guy at work who is a retired Marine with 20 years in the Corps says if the cover up stories are true, then Kelly has disgraced himself,dishonored the Corps, and needs to go. |

Just saw an interview with one of Porter's ex wives.
What she told was horrifying, but I admit watching her also thinking "God, she is cute. Porter was an idiot for alienating her". |
