Kelly 'Let Potus do what he wants-even if it leads to impeachment-at least this chapter would close'

Uh, this comes 19 paragraphs in: John Kelly “has told at least one person close to him that he may as well let the president do what he wants, even if it leads to impeachment — at least this chapter of American history would come to a close.”

.................

But Kelly’s status in the White House has changed in recent months, and he and the president are now seen as barely tolerating one another. According to four people close to Kelly, the former Marine general has largely yielded his role as the enforcer in the West Wing as his relationship with Trump has soured. While Kelly himself once believed he stood between Trump and chaos, he has told at least one person close to him that he may as well let the president do what he wants, even if it leads to impeachment — at least this chapter of American history would come to a close.

He stepped too close to Trump. Black holes absorb everything that crosses their event horizon, and even the laws of physics as we know them collapse within them...

Kelly's loyalty should be to the USA, not to the KGOP republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief. Kelly has turned his back on his nation, and is passively enabling the KGOP republican attacks on honesty, decency, and American democracy. Shame on him for failing in his responsibilities to America.
