> The president did not see the memo until Wednesday afternoon. White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly marched the document into the Oval Office so that he and Trump could briefly discuss it. The president was then left alone to read the memo in its entirety. Kelly returned a few hours later and shared with the president his opinion: the memo would not risk national security but that the document was not as compelling as some of its advocates had promised Trump.
> Intelligence and law enforcement officials repeatedly spoke with Kelly to argue against the memo’s release... Kelly met Monday with FBI Director Christopher A. Wray and Rosenstein, who argued against the release, saying the memo could expose classified information and was an inaccurate depiction of the bureau’s investigative methods.
But Kelly was not swayed.
> That night, Wray again called Kelly to argue in favor of keeping the memo private, but was unsuccessful.
Kelly was not swayed.
> On Tuesday, five FBI officials, including at least one from counterintelligence, went to the White House to discuss their concerns with Kelly.
But Kelly was not swayed.
> Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats also met with Kelly at the White House this week to express his reservations.
But Kelly was not swayed.
> The discussions between Kelly and national security officials largely focused on the need to protect sources and methods of intelligence gathering, as well as concerns about setting a dangerous precedent.
But Kelly was not swayed.
I remember some of you faggots whining about John Kelly no too long ago. Truth be told he's and outstanding public servant, loyal to his country and president, just what you'd expect from a Marine.
Don't be surprised when Robert Mueller, also a Marine, reveals that the investigation was unnecessary and, if anything, the Dems have more to answer for than Trumps people.
