'I feel bad that I left': John Kelly warned Trump he would be impeached

[ At one time, Trump had adults around him - Mattis, Kelly, McMaster, Tillerson, Cohn - who'd listen to Ttrump's stupid ideas and refuse to commit to implementing them (buying Greenland, filling a ditch along the border with snakes and alligators, nuking hurricanes, etc). But now, most of the adults are gone and he's left with boot lickers and ass kissers who praise him like the insane child he is. Now no one can tell him not to go out on the White House lawn and shout for foreign countries to help him get re-elected. ]

SEA ISLAND, Georgia — John Kelly warned President Trump that hiring a “yes man” to succeed him as White House chief of staff would lead to impeachment and, in hindsight, regrets his decision to resign.

House Democrats launched an impeachment inquiry into Trump less than a year after Kelly departed the administration. The retired, four-star Marine general suggested the blame lies squarely with acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and other advisers who are unable, or unwilling, to keep the president out of trouble.

Kelly, 69, said he privately cautioned Trump during his final days on the job that he would be impeached if he did not tap a chief of staff with the fortitude to check the president’s bad impulses. Kelly said he does not believe the president would be in this predicament had he stayed.

“I said, whatever you do — and we were still in the process of trying to find someone to take my place — I said whatever you do, don’t hire a ‘yes man,’ someone who won’t tell you the truth — don’t do that. Because if you do, I believe you will be impeached,” Kelly recalled in an interview at the Sea Island Summit, a political conference hosted by the Washington Examiner.

“That was almost 11 months ago, and I have an awful lot of, to say the least, second thoughts about leaving,” Kelly said. “It pains me to see what’s going on because I believe if I was still there or someone like me was there, he would not be kind of, all over the place.”

The House is expected to vote on articles of impeachment by Christmas, with a trial to follow in the Senate to determine whether Trump should be removed from office. The proceedings were sparked by allegations that the president asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to launch an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden, a political rival seeking the Democratic nomination.

Kelly, Trump’s homeland security secretary before being tapped as his second chief of staff, did not validate impeachment or endorse the inquiry. But he indicated that the White House bears some responsibility for the investigation, saying flatly that it was avoidable — contradicting many Trump allies who insist congressional Democrats were going to find any excuse to impeach the president.

“Someone has got to be a guide that tells [the president] that you either have the authority or you don’t, or Mr. President, don’t do it,” Kelly said. “Don’t hire someone that will just nod and say, ‘That’s a great idea Mr. President.’ Because you will be impeached.”

Kelly added, “The system that should be in place, clearly — the system of advising, bringing in experts in, having these discussions with the president so he can make an informed decision, that clearly is not in place. And I feel bad that I left.”

She's a lying shit saying what makes Putin happy. You really have the hots for Trump and Putin dont you? Are you worried peace might break out? Some KGB agent is Maria Butina,. I think she must of skipped basic training 101 "how to be a secret agent". -or maybe just all bs.... Somehow I wont be surprised if it turns out that traitors within the USA or abroad just didn't kook the whole thing up... We seen a lot of that lately. "In August 2016, she moved to the US on a student visa, and enrolled as a graduate student in International Relations at American University in Washington, D.C. [28] While a student at American University, Butina got drunk on at least two separate occasions and bragged to her fellow students about her contacts in the Russian government; on both occasions, her classmates reported her to law enforcement, sources told CNN. [29]" en.wikipedia.org Incarceration rates by country... USA is number 1 ... way ahead of the Russians. nap.edu As Shaun Attwood pointed out in the previous video, most young people are in USA jails for possession of drugs offenses. We know who has been shipping in the drugs too. Looks to me all the wrong guys are in jail. The real criminals are still shipping all that chit into the country to destroy America's children. washingtonpost.com
