Top aide Rick Dearborn stepping down early next year

[Leghorn21]

WASHINGTON—Rick Dearborn, one of President Trump’s top aides, will step down early next year to pursue private sector work, White House officials said, becoming the latest high-profile departure from the West Wing in recent weeks.

“Rick loyally served the president for two and a half years and brought tremendous energy to the White House staff,“ White House Chief of Staff John Kelly said. ”He’s a super guy and it breaks my heart to see him leave, but I look forward to his continued personal friendship and support for the president’s agenda.”

A deputy chief of staff who oversaw the White House’s political operation, public outreach and legislative affairs, Mr. Dearborn will remain at the White House for the first month or two of next year, according to people familiar with the planning.

Background on this guy:

Rick Dearborn is President Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff for legislative, intergovernmental affairs and implementation. His name first surfaced in connection to the Russia investigation on August 23, 2017 when CNN reported Congressional investigators were looking at an email Dearborn sent in June 2016 during the U.S. presidential campaign referencing someone “from WV” looking to arrange a meeting Trump campaign officials and Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Dearborn served as then-Senator Jeff Sessions’ chief of staff for 12 years and was a Virginia-based Trump policy aide during the president’s campaign. CNN says Dearborn helped arrange Trump’s April 2016 address at the Mayflower Hotel where Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak was in attendance. Congressional investigators reportedly are looking into whether Dearborn had any role in arranging Senator Sessions’ previously undisclosed meetings with Kislyak in July and September 2016.

Dearborn was the executive director of Trump’s transition team before moving into his current White House role.

name, of course, but then ohhhh, Sessions, ohhhh Mayflower, ohhh, transition team, hmmm - dude's got "a story to tell" (you know - like Flynn!) - and if a gig such as "shift leader at McDonald's #3 in DeLand, Florida", awaits this fella, why, sounds good to me!!

3. I don't see it, sorry

With a face like that, you'd have to worry if the McDonalds of Boca Raton was serving sandwiches with actual raton in them.

Marble, I believe every person has a reason for being on this earth, and Rick Dearborn's reason is because SOMEONE has to be the one to euthanize puppies at the local dog pound. He looks like he'd enjoy the work.
