Three Bolton aides resign from Trump White House after his exit: report
By Aris Folley - 09/11/19 01:51 PM EDT

Three aides to national security adviser John Bolton are resigning from the White House a day after news broke of Bolton's high-profile departure from the Trump administration, Reuters reported.

According to the news agency, the White House received resignations on Wednesday from the trio of staffers, who have reportedly worked with Bolton for years: Bolton’s former spokesman, Garrett Marquis; his former communications director, Sarah Tinsley; and Christine Samuelian, who served as Bolton’s scheduler.


Marquis said in a statement obtained by Reuters Wednesday that “it was an honor to serve my country, and I wish the president and the administration success moving forward.”

The Hill has not yet confirmed the departures with the White House.

I've always heard there is no loyalty in D.C.  That could be wrong.

Trump soon come to regret getting rid of Boulton very much even if he never publicly admits it.

It kind of makes sense that if your boss leaves his position, that his staff would too.  Though, I'd like to see if this is indeed the case when a cabinet member leaves office.

In the private sector this would be expected.  Only for swamp things is it newsworthy.

Three Bolton aides resign


What took them so long?  Had to punch up their resume's?

I agree.  But I thought the eye roll was more respectful than the happy dance gif.

Everyone thought it was over the Taliban meeting.  But this says Trump is considering easing the sanctions on Iran.  He wants to meet with the Iranian president during the UN General Assembly.

So I think Ted Cruz is right.  Secondly Trump did say he was going to meet with Taliban but won't now.  It sure would have been a smack in the face of Americans to meet with them on the anniversary of 9/11.
