The best part - a guide to use as we see more and more "former Trumpers" come forward to confess their sins and explain why they did what they did.

According to Stephen A. Crockett Jr. (the writer of the piece), there can perhaps be 3 reasons why we are now hearing "the truth:"

1. He’s gotten a grim medical diagnosis and wants to make right with the Lord.

2. He’s got a book to promote.

3. He really hates Trump now and wants to stick it to him.


So, go ahead, put names to these "3 reasons" that explain what has been made public so far. And put a "Post-it" up there on the edge of your computer screen to keep track of what's gonna' happen in the next few months. It could get interesting...............

..always enjoy Mr.Crockett's insight, perspective as well as other writers/contributors @the root.

Imo, when Kelly apologizes to Rep. Wilson for insulting her on national tv; apologizes for his harsh cruel treatment of children and families at the border; his hateful, racist stanse on DACA/DAPA then maybe he can redeem aome respectability.

Yet, while working under traitor he proved what a jerk he really is--no one can make anyone hurt another person, a child--he willingly complied with the orders to do harm. Frankly, I'm suprised he left the evil stronghold [WH] when he did--he seemed to fit right in with his cruel immigration policies and practices--really, how do these people sleep at night?

I remember people on here when trump took him in saying Oh he will be good to control trump
I posted some of his history to show No he would only be aiding trump

I thought he was busy profiting from taking kids away from their parents

During Kelly's tenure, the administration pursued ambitious changes to immigration enforcement, and the average length of stay for an unaccompanied migrant child in US custody skyrocketed

Please read the link to understand how this lined his pockets

Asshole planned his own profits with his cruel policies

Oh by the way
Located on several acres of federal land adjacent to an Air Reserve Base, the facility is the nation's only site not subject to routine inspections by state child welfare

Thanks for the post I like reading Crockett and missed this one
