Trump’s former Chief of Staff John Kelly at a conference today:
“I said, whatever you do — and we were still in the process of trying to find someone to take my place — I said whatever you do, don't hire a 'yes man,' someone who won't tell you the truth — don't do that. Because if you do, I believe you will be impeached."*
To which White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham responded,
“I worked with John Kelly, and he was totally unequipped to handle the genius of our great President."

*Trump of course denied. “John Kelly never said that.” In this instance I believe Trump. I don’t think Kelly said that to him.
