Kelly is not answering to the left. He did the honorable thing and let the President know that he would resign if asked. He put it in Trump's hands, which was the right thing to do.

He didn't actually resign, which would have been giving in to the left.

Well he better NOT resign..because that would be caving to leftist a-holes..when Obama would say “I heard it first on the news” no one said a WORD about it, they took his word for it..but they won’t take Kelly’s word for it because they hate him

FORMER WIVES OF TOP WHITE HOUSE AIDE ROB PORTER BOTH TOLD FBI HE ABUSED THEM
......................................................

Both are former wives. This story smells very fishy. In any divorce proceeding this would have already been adjudicated and part of the settlement arrangement. Both wives would have very generous monetary settlements contingent on his future income and pensions. Neither would be willing to jeopardize their future income to divulge information that wasn’t already disposed of in the divorce decree.
Additionally, if he was deemed to be violent and a risk there would be restraining
orders in place to prevent future problems. Past wives are history and as such, not blackmail material because there is no leverage and nothing to hide.
Typically democrat media spreads a salacious story and the chicken shit republicans cave in and resign or get terminated.
This should have been refuted by White House and exposed for what it is, fake news.
However, If Porter was part of the Obama FBI insurance policy and other issues were actually in play that might explain the resignation. Again, it stinks because he’s just part of the deep state “get Trump” witch hunt” and Kelly was probably the target not Porter

Fake news. The Left is even naming who they want to replace Kelly.

/////////////////////////

I surmise as much. Again, it is not in the wives interest to get this man fired. There is a picture of one of the wives with both eyes blackened. Only FBI would have access to that picture because undoubtedly it was used in the divorce negotiations. This poor woman gets the double indignity of getting her ass beat and then having the picture of the event cost her big money as her “cash cow” just went from a high profile position that would result in future millions when Porter went into private sector. That is out of the question now. He will be lucky to find work commensurate with his present government job.
I just looked at Qanon’s most recent post. He said FBI had the picture since January 24 why the release now? why the release at all.

“In June 2017, Porter’s preliminary file was sent from the FBI to the White House security office. It contained information from his ex-wives alleging abuse. “

There is a lot of hysteria going on about this.

When I see the MSM express a volcano of piety about sexual abuse, I think back on Harvey Weinstein, Anthony Weiner, Bill Clinton, Matt Lauer, and then remember the decades of silence, and then understand I am waking in a pasture FULL OF BULLSHIT.

I doubt Trump would accept it - that would be letting the LSM win one when they got nothing more than a bit of feces to throw.

I think the FBI target was Kelly/Trump. Remember, this is old news. The assaults didn’t happen recently to his present partner. This is ex-wife divorce bullshit. Clinton/Soros didn’t have to go anywhere near the wives or get their cooperation. They simply needed the already politicized deep state police state to conduct an “investigation” into Porter’s life to turn this up. This is being done to every member of congress, , the supreme court, the conservative media and political groups and military. NO ONE IS SAFE FROM THIS PERSECUTION! The only way to combat this is to expose it to the light of day.
In my view Porter should not have been fired the White House should have made accusations against an improper FBI investigation. Let the shit hit the fan, support our people and start making arrests. Any admission of any wrong doing is just showing blood to the sharks. We will never be right to the democrat/media complex we will just be attacked.
What do you think will happen when McCabe, Stzrok, et al get indicted ? Will the left agree that Trump campaign was illegally surveilled? No, the left will hit the streets, send out their paid rioters, yell Trump is Hitler and burn down Washington. We have got to stand up to this onslaught and jail some people, bust some heads and make them understand that the constitution will prevail. We might as well start now while we have the biggest usurpation of the Constitution in the history of our nation unfolding before our eyes.

Will the leftists read Gary Aldrich, “Unlimited Access” to see the grotesque abuse of the WH security process for Clinton personnel. They ignored the FBI and many staff didn’t have background checks.

There is a law of nature: anything that a Democrat accuses you of, there is a one hundred percent metaphysical certitude that they have committed that exact crime.
