The Treachery of John Kelly

“Kelly’s conduct is a violation of best practice in both White House personnel and intelligence handling,” Norm Eisen, White House Counsel in the Obama administration, told ThinkProgress. “He exposed the White House and so the nation to compromise by sharing America’s and our allies’ most closely held secrets with someone he happened to like but who was subject to blackmail. Now that person is gone but takes all the secrets with him in his head, so the risk continues.”

Eisen described Kelly’s actions as “truly shocking.”

Spot on. If the MSM, women’s groups and those who use social media keep up the pressure...maybe we can oust Kelly. SOB has it coming.

....... is normalized and no longer considered atrocious conduct.

The preservation and respect for national security issues fall by the way side and are no longer handled with the seriousness and sober attitude required.

...no one denies that.

My angst comes when the media sacrifices the bigger picture for the dramatic.
