Two sources close to Wiles said she will get another job in Treasury.

I'm surprised it's only six!

Well, Treasury. It's only money.

Maybe she in the past used drugs. That would eliminate from consideration a good portion of the U.S. population.

Yeah, and it depends on the position...but you gotta wonder what made them get yanked today, but are fine elsewhere in the Administration.

"Several WH Staffers Dismissed After Failing Background Checks..."

This is in stark contrast to the previous administration, which didn't bother with background checks.

Pleased that the administration is respecting background checks - though since the background check is public domain (warning, it's 127 pages long .... ) I'm surprised that the senior staffer affected (Ms. Wiles) wasn't pre-vetted by the campaign. No real excuse not to have done that.
