I would not want to be the senior white house official who anonymously ran this story over to the NY Times.

The story was created out of thin air by NYT. Read the original story. It is clickbait.

Well, other than the fact that government doesn’t work that way what had you convinced that this was a troll op.

Hmm, if Kelly fed Fake News to an undisclosed “senior staffer”, their pants are also leaking by now.

That sort of thing is so old school. The NYT has evolved to a point where they simply make stuff up.

What did TRex in was his request for a new ice breaker (for his OPEC clients) to make it easier to deliver oil to Japan and China via the NorthWest Passage.

Sometimes I get the impression that Kelly thinks he is running the show.

Call me cynical, but I'm suspicious of most staff officers who rose through the ranks during the Obama and Bush years. There were "Stalinist-lite" purges during those years, cleansing the ranks of anyone who did tow the party line. In particular, anyone who didn't buy into the "Religion of Peace" meme.
