Report: Gen. Kelly 'Discussed Possibility' of Ivanka and Jared 'Departing by the End of the Year'
AOL News ^ | Nov 26th 2017 4:15PM GMT | geobeats

Multiple reports have recently shed light on Jared Kushner’s evolving role in the White House.

A New York Times piece on Saturday noted that while President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser initially had a wide and somewhat ambiguous role, that is no longer the case under current White House chief of staff John Kelly.

“Jared works for me,” Kelly is said to have told others in the White House, according to the Times.

Furthermore, “according to three advisers to the president, Mr. Kelly has even discussed the possibility of Mr. Kushner and his wife, Ivanka Trump, departing the West Wing by the end of the year,” reports the Times.

But Kelly has denied he considered that option.

“There was honestly never a time when I contemplated getting rid of Jared and Ivanka,” he told the Times.

On Saturday, the Washington Post also did a story on Kushner’s diminished role, but notes, “he still maintains the broad portfolio he took on at the beginning of the administration that made him a punchline among aides on Capitol Hill: Peace in the Middle East, as well as Canada, Mexico, and China, and overseeing the Office of American Innovation, an in-house group that focuses on tackling longer-term government challenges.”

Nevertheless, an inside source is quoted by Vanity Fair as saying about Kushner, “Kelly has clipped his wings.”

However, Kushner says he welcomes the structure Kelly put in place at the White House.

“The order allows this place to function,” he told the Post.

He’s going to impeach them? I don’t think so.

“A New York Times piece on Saturday”

Anything from the NYT needs to be triple checked.

Trump is the Man. But this nepotism is better checked sooner rather than later.

The headline is completely misleading and false.

A little off topic, but the leaks seemed to have stopped cold.

Was it ever determined who and how the leaks were happening.

I note, the leaks seem to stop right after Reinse was flushed.

All these ‘reports,’ somehow get leaked to the most radically leftist ‘news,’ outlets in America. But I’m sure they’re accurate bc everything else the leftist ‘news,’ orgs put out is true.

Right?

AOL is still alive and kickin’ it?
Who knew? I thought they were on digital life support, i.e.
MySpace.

Even still, I wish and hope this is the truth.
Javanka is sort of gumming up the works right now. Or so it appears.

Kelly can take a hike too. He's from the "Religion of Peace" school of foreign affairs.

A “report.”

It came from nobody out of nowhere.

Sort of like Divine Revelation.
