Inferring from A to B--this sequence of events:
A: John Kelly, former White House CoS, decides that the interests of the nation take precedence over the well-established and generally honorable obligation of discretion as a former WH official. This is obvs not a decision Kelly takes lightly, but the interests of the nation are paramount to him. He begins talking.
B: Within 24 hours, Hope Hicks, Reince Priebus, and Sean Spicer are suddenly back on the WH payroll, where presumably, legal obligations will assure they do not have the option to make such a decision.

It is like he is feeling if he brings them back it will be his winning team of 2106. Or/and he is comfortable with the losers, he knows they will protect him?

Well, making America greedy and gruesome again takes the right kind of cretins.
