John Kelly Finally Lets Loose on Trump

...at a Drew University event...Wednesday night. Over a 75-minute speech and question-and-answer session, Kelly laid out, in the clearest terms yet, his misgivings with Trump’s words and actions regarding North Korea, illegal immigration, military discipline, Ukraine, and the news media....

On Eddie Gallagher: “The idea that the commander-in-chief intervened there, in my opinion, was exactly the wrong thing to do,” Kelly said. “Had I been there, I think I could have prevented it.” https://t.co/sSB8w0MuaX

When I terminated John Kelly, which I couldn’t do fast enough, he knew full well that he was way over his head. Being Chief of Staff just wasn’t for him. He came in with a bang, went out with a whimper, but like so many X’s, he misses the action & just can’t keep his mouth shut,.

....which he actually has a military and legal obligation to do. His incredible wife, Karen, who I have a lot of respect for, once pulled me aside & said strongly that “John respects you greatly. When we are no longer here, he will only speak well of you.” Wrong!

Not that he'll care, as he of all people should have known what was coming:

Trump tells ex-chief-of-staff Kelly to "keep his mouth shut." EVERY patriot in Washington who knows what Trump and Barr are keeping from the American people must come forward and tell Congress and the media what they know. Our democracy is in grave danger. https://t.co/lbp7BoYg5A
