I think all the paranoia floating around in the White House caused him to do it. The ObamaComs are pretty paranoid about everything right now.

His resignation does not stop the call for investigations. This is more fuel for the fire. Most of his czars have serious problems. Time to throw another shrimp on the barby.

They are saying he resigned “over controversial statements”, apparently everybody is OK with the fact that he is a communist ant-white racist and the retarded marxist muzzie in chief appointed him anyway and with full knowledge of those facts.

Yeah, I thought they’d keep him. How could they not have anticipated that he’d be a lightning rod? Strange.

Crap. This could have been milked for weeks in our favor.

Who cares? Their time is past, if this issue teaches us anything. The entire event passed without recognition from the MSM.
They no longer serve a purpose.
scratch that, they’re now a left-of-center think-tank/Incumbistan propaganda organ.

Good Riddance ... but I’d be curious to learn how one’s own words, captured in video no less, can be considered a smear.
