We also learned that Hope Hicks plans to leave in the next few weeks. Laughably, White House aides denied that her resignation was related to her testimony the day before that she had occasionally told white lies in the job. "Lies" in the White House? Nothing to investigate there.
Also it was reported yesterday that the real estate business of Jared Kushner received large loans last year from two companies whose executives had met with him at the White House. Citigroup lent $325 million to Kushner Companies in the spring, and Apollo Global Management, a private equity firm, lent $184 million in November. These would be huge conflicts of interest if it was anybody else. Coincidentally, Kelly downgraded Kushner's security clearance. Maybe Trump should reconsider his fondness for nepotism.
So, yeah if the US's enemies take comfort from a White House in turmoil they gotta love Trump. Of course, Trump's unwillingness to sanction Russia for interfering with the 2016 and the fact that he is not doing anything to prevent them from interfering with the 2018 election must give Putin pleasure as well.

You are right about nepotism, and I too would be glad to see Jared and Ivanka leave. Apparently there are others who also cannot get necessary security clearances.
Apparently too many in the White House have been enamored by Hope Hicks, including Lewandowski.
And many have questioned if Sessions was up for the task after Rosenstein deceptively coerced him to recuse himself.
