In reply to the discussion: Ted Lieu: Trump enablers will blanch at what comes out. . . [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)25. Deluded, corrupt ex- chief of staff Kelly says he could have avoided
impeachment by reining in Trump's worst instincts. Uhuh.
WaPo: John Kelly, former chief of staff to President Trump, said Saturday he warned the president before he left the White House not to replace him with a yes man because it would lead to Trumps impeachment.
Kelly also said he believed he could have prevented the current impeachment inquiry against Trump if he had stayed in the job. He said the inquiry could have been avoided if the president had surrounded himself with people who could rein in his worst instincts. ...
Someone has got to be a guide that tells [the president] that you either have the authority or you dont, or Mr. President, dont do it, Kelly told the Washington Examiners Byron York. Dont hire someone that will just nod and say, Thats a great idea, Mr. President. Because you will be impeached.

The "current" impeachment, huh? Pelosi and co might still be looking for the best trigger to set off their avalanche maybe. But one might think from this that Trump wasn't committing huge crimes related to Russia-Ukraine before and during Kelly's time "in charge."
Gee, sure hope this growing and unstoppable avalanche of consequences doesn't sweep Kelly up with Trump. For sure what's coming out is going to bloody him good.

They want open hearings so their corrupt lawyers can create obfuscation for Fox to report.
