ai have to say beingthe white house this week has to be one of the most volatile weeks because of this rob porter upheaval since the very early days when people were leaving. on friday we had resignations and ousters. it felt very tense. robert: rob porter wasn't jus another aid. he was someone who controlled the paper flow. clean cut. the senior advisor to the president. close with general kelly. his removal is not just an embarrassment for the white house, not just a troubling situation but he was part of that knew clouse that runs -- nucleus that runs the wushite >> the truth is he was given the benefit of the doubt in part because h seemed very professional. he seemed very reliable, very competent, mature in a white house that is kind ofna dysfunct so onkelly relied on him and -- john kelly relied on him and was willing to overlook some things because they need him. we got before air, rachel brand just resigned today. she wod be the person who would step in if rod s rosenen were somehow fired which we spent a lot o timwondering about. so another big blow to creating a coherent team
