Makes sense the media wants Kelly gone since he has revealed himself to be an ideological conservative
Yeah, they loved him at first because they thought he'd control Trump. Just like they thought Steve Bannon controlled Trump. The Loonies are a little 'slow,' poor dears.
Hey, Rush just said something about CNN laying off 50 staffers. Draining their own swamp.
Kelly is the latest in a growing line of people, once respected, whose reputations are being ruined for their efforts to cover up the misdeeds of Trump.

Well, I agree in part, but some of the crazy he's spewed has been all on him.
Trump and Kelly are bad liars. They deserve each other.
This is very true. The hearings revealed that all of the FBI background checks were completed long ago, and are not "in process" as stated by the WH.
Wray also said that they give priority to the high level WH appointments--they are done first. So it appears that all the excuses people have made for Trump -- security clearances take a really long time, this is common for all WH, etc. are dead wrong.
It has not been common or the norm in other admins.
This is a dishonest WH (starts at the top) and they've been letting classified information be seen and known about by people who do not have the clearance to see it.
And let's not forget, these are the same people, along with some congressional right-wingers who have been screaming about Clinton's emails and loudly stating that people should go to jail for their negligence. Nobody has been more careless or negligent with classified info as this WH.
This should be investigated, but of course, it is not Hillary or Obama, so even Gowdy seems to think giving out classified info is ok.

You're right, we thought we would have at least one grown up in the West Wing. Turns out we were wrong about that. There are no adults in the White House.
I see certain people are trying to flush this thread.
This is a supremely incredible development. Has there ever been administration that's been called out on so many lies by....itself?
Just imagine if Rahm Emanuel said one thing and then an Obama appointed FBI director says "Nope, that's a lie." Breitbart and Fox would need to install new servers to handle the web traffic.
Well that didn't happen, did it? He is just another version on Trump, and the real John Kelly came out long time ago. Same drama filled White House it always was, absolutely nothing have changed. Kelly is major disappointment, and wears his true colors on his sleeves proudly. When he lied about Rep. Frederica Wilson, I lost all respect for him.
So true - we can't blame all of our disappointment in Kelly on Trump. He did flat out LIE about Frederica and I can't figure out why. Her entire speech was shown and it was NOTHING that he claimed.
Then there was that whole 'the civil war was just a misunderstanding' thing that he came out with.
Now we have his effusive praise of a suspected wife beater (complete with black eye photos) and his lies about how long he knew.
I think maybe we just didn't know the real John Kelly.
Incidentally, it is this perfect mixture of ineptitude and misogyny that will endear Kelly to Trump. Under this admin, one has to be inept, assault women, or work for foreign agents to be a part of the WH staff. If all three, then you skip straight to the inner circle.
