Washington (CNN)New White House chief of staff John Kelly was so upset with how President Donald Trump handled the firing of FBI Director James Comey that Kelly called Comey afterward and said he was considering resigning, according to two sources familiar with a conversation between Kelly and Comey.
Both sources cautioned that it was unclear how serious Kelly, then the secretary of homeland security, was about resigning himself.
"John was angry and hurt by what he saw and the way (Comey) was treated," one of the sources said.
Comey learned of his dismissal on May 9 from televisions tuned to the news as he was addressing the workforce at the FBI office in Los Angeles, law enforcement sources said at the time. Comey made a joke about it to lighten the mood and called his office to get confirmation.
Comey, who took Kelly's call while traveling back from Los Angeles to Washington, responded to Kelly by telling him not to resign, one of the sources said.
The sources said Comey and Kelly are not close friends but that they had a professional relationship and a deep mutual respect for each other.
Comey declined to comment for this story. The White House and the Department of Homeland Security have not responded to requests for comment.

Another one that applies to the libs: TURD
(Trump Unacceptability Resistance Disorder).
>>Are there any straight men at that network?<<
Doubtful.
One was Comey, the other was Comey’s friend.
Bull shyte
Posse Comitatus would have to be waived...Kelly was correct...
As far as I can see, Rush just said that CNN is reporting it.
From what I’m seeing Trump really has no “right hand” that is worth a damn since he entered the White House.
If you look at all other Presidents, they always had a close, trusted advisor that followed them into the presidency.
You need someone like this to build on.
I think Wolf Blitzer told one of CNN's reporterette's yesterday that she needed to get better sources.
well if this is true this is also a leak and that is bad
Thank U Rush - on to Donald...
Yep. It sows a bit of discord here at FR.
Continue on with the trust of the MSM that needs Trump out at all costs.
FReepers are using the MSM for the basis of attacks on their own.
I will not go there.
Seems pretty obviously to have come from Chez Comey.
And he’s been such a fount of unvarnished truth...
Probably Comey’s professor friend he used to leak the memos.
And spoon fed to him by Comey.
While I disagree with you regarding Newt and CoS, I didn’t know he wanted to reform the federal government. That’s a shame that he wasn’t taken up on that offer.
I really would like to see the loyalists - Rudy, Huckabee, Newt, Bossie, Lewandowski, etc. in the White House. Trump needs less Never Trump leakers and a strong team of loyalists working for the same goal.
Posse Comitatus would not affect troops on the border. You mean that an invading army could not be fought back? It refers to enforcing domestic policy inside the U.S.
