General Kelly was considered the stability in the WH.
Now we're finding out his cell phone most likely was compromised over months. A spy's dream to have audio and video.
And now Jared and Ivanka emails are moved against a Congressional stop order.
They moved them to private servers. That's unethical, suspicious, and could be illegal. It points to a cover up.
But what is concerning right now to me is our National security or the lack thereof.
Kelly, Kaspersky, and tRump doing nothing.
The circle is tightening.

The question for both the media (most of it) and all politicians (most of them anyway) - where is the courage to stand up to this idiocy? Where is the pride in wanting to maintain some level of decency and sense to our country?
It's almost as if there has been mass amnesia and they all think it isn't happening, or is a reality show, or video game.
simply insane.

OTOH, Jarvanka still seem to be using their private phones and email accounts.

(28,136 posts)I read this as a problem different than you contend.
I read this to mean he had the breached phone on him during crucial time periods.

Of course, there could have been a breach if he used it at all for work matters while at Homeland Security, but I would think the scariest possibility would be this one (from Slate):

White House officials told Politico its still unclear when or where Kellys phone was hacked and what if any data swiped. Before joining the Trump administration, Kelly was a four-star Marine general and headed the United States Southern Command, until his retirement in January 2016. Administration officials say Kellys travel schedule before joining the administration in January 2017 is being reviewed to try to identify where the breach might have originated.
It's tough processing it all at times.
