I say Reince Preibus gets Flynned within a week.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

He's "forced to resign" but the Madman will laud him and insist he did nothing wrong and throw the blame on "FAKE NEWS!"

Meanwhile, it's one less barrier to the Madman for Bannon.

[MineralMan]

1. Yup. Very likely.

He's holding Bannon back a little, so he'll have to go. But who will be the new Chief of Staff?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. Maybe Bannon will merge the CoS role and his current role.

I mean, he's incrementally accumulated more and more power as he goes along.

There can only be one Hand of the King!

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. Bannon hates Priebus, so will/is pushing for him to be gone.

But...Kushner is in the way of Bannon's complete control, and Trump values Kushner bigly.

I also think that Gorka, Bannon's new mini me will turn out to be another Conway, and cause some problems.
from all I have read, he is screwy and has ego issues.

[DURHAM D]

2. Why? nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

4. Sacraficial lamb for the FBI story.

Plus I don't think either Trump or Bannon every really wanted him there in the first place.

[DURHAM D]

6. Absolutely nothing will happen. nt

[jmg257]

8. That he requested they down-play reports based on info he got from the FBI?

Not seeing it.

[randome]

13. The story is that the FBI went to Priebus first. So anything he said after this can be swept away.

There was no illegality.

[triron]

23. That is the WH account

I don't believe anything they say

[canetoad]

5. "Flynned"

Great term and one that I think will be used frequently in the coming months.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

7. Flynn--To both scapegoat for blame and martyr as victim an individual simultaneously. nt

[salin]

22. I like it as a verb as well.

[herding cats]

9. Dang it. I had Spicy as next in the pool.

[Maru Kitteh]

16. I had Kellyanne. I'm kinda still sticking by that. She'll

make yet another massive fuckup and "resign" because of family, young kids at home blah blah blah . . . .

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. She has been reported to the DC Bar Assoc.

by a slew of lawyers and law professors, plus she is technically not a member of the DC Bar until she pays her back dues.
It might be the disbarment will go through.
Could be a helpful thing to get her dumped.

[Wounded Bear]

10. He's one of the semi-normal ones...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

11. Not as much as normal as he's establishment.

And he more or less conforms to expected norms that other members of the administration don't bother to uphold.

[Wounded Bear]

14. Pretty much what I meant...

This white house definitely doesn't need to lose any of the little normalcy it has.

[KPN]

12. I like that ... FLYNNED!

and I think you are right!

[B2G]

15. He'll be replaced with someone worse.

Careful what you wish for.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. I'm not necessarily wishing for it.

But I can see it happening.

[B2G]

19. General comment, not directed at you. nt

[Act_of_Reparation]

18. If Banon sees him as a threat, he'll probably push for the forced resignation.

And he'll probably get what he wants. Now the real question is: is this a case of intended consequences?
