Report: No, POTUS Chief of Staff John Kelly is NOT ‘resigning'
2018-12-08
Posted late yesterday as a comment by our own Anomalous Sources.
(National Sentinel) Fake News: POTUS Donald Trump’s chief of staff may soon depart the White House, but former Marine Gen. John Kelly isn’t resigning, according to sources who spoke to The Daily Caller.

The online news site reported that Kelly has no intention of leaving his post voluntarily despite reports in "establishment" media on Friday claiming that he was set to step down after 16 "tumultuous months" as POTUS Trump’s COS. The source told the news site it was "absolutely untrue" that Kelly would quit on his own.

Kelly took the day off on Friday as the president returns from a trip to Kansas City, MO., to give a speech on law enforcement. He is planning to attend a White House staff dinner the president is giving Friday evening.

That said, POTUS would like for Kelly to depart but sources told TheDC he isn’t ready to fire the former Marine general. That could set off a months-long stalemate.

#6  ...And President Obama had five chiefs of staff. Don't seem to remember the predictions of downfalls and disaster accompanying them.

Oh, wait...

isn't the best reliable source in the book.

That said, any military officer usually could expect to be in the job for about 18 months before they rotate them to another job someplace in the command, or from a short or unaccompanied tour.
