The Best And The Brightest

Last August I posted this picture, noting that all the non-elected staffers in it are now gone from the Trump administration.

Prior to today, I could have identified four out of the five individuals pictured, Sebastian Gorka, Omarosa, Anthony Scaramucci, and Corey Lewandowski. Unknown to me, and to a lot of other people, apparently, is the man standing between Omarosa and the Mooch. He's Rob Porter, and this morning he resigned from his West Wing position due to accusations of domestic violence by not one but two ex-wives. An interesting twist in the story is that Porter is said to be dating Communications Director Hope Hicks, who also is said to have dated Corey Lewandowski.
