Wow. Hicks, Priebus, Spicer, etc. all coming back to the crime scene. Wonder what that signals.

[Raven]

1. He's gathering his re-election team.

[Mike 03]

2. Utter insanity. But at least we can expect a ton of good leaks from Priebus. nt

[abqtommy]

3. tRUMP has identified the most corrupt of the bunch.

[murielm99]

4. Yay!

Melissa McCarthy rides again!

[patricia92243]

12. What does that mean?

[murielm99]

13. How did you miss her on SNL?

[patricia92243]

17. I remember now. I did see a couple of them and had just forgot.

[OliverQ]

14. Melissa McCarthy played Spicer on SNL.

Google it and watch it. It is absolutely amazing.

[Arkansas Granny]

5. I just read that. i thought it must be a mistake, but it's on the official White House website.

6. I think they - and others - left because they believed it ...

... was all going to come crashing down, and they didn’t want to go to prison. Now they realize there is little if any risk of that and they want their places back at the trough. But I’m a cynical asshole by nature. So...

[progressoid]

27. That's a really good possibility.

[edbermac]

7. Anybody want to run a pool on how long they'll last?

[shanti]

30. They'll be there as long as Chump is

There's still money left to grift.

[maryellen99]

8. Spicer is most likely broke and desperate for $$$$ nt

[Johonny]

9. I think we can assume they're all coming back for the money

[katmondoo]

29. Maybe they will all write a book?????

[mainstreetonce]

10. Spicer dances

What does Priebus do?

[lame54]

15. The same

[dweller]

22. RNC PR BS

is all he is...

✌🏼

[democrattotheend]

11. I think that's not so unusual

For people who were involved with the first campaign to come back to the White House the year of the reelection campaign. Didn't David Plouffe come back to or start working in the White House at some point in 2011 or early 2012?

[tblue37]

24. But Trump deliberately kicked & humiliated these two on their way out. nt

[Ms. Toad]

33. my thought, as well.

Why on earth would you return for round 2 of abuse.

[kentuck]

16. Hmmmmm... Why????

Something in Trump's personal interest. To protect himself in some way, perhaps?

[MFGsunny]

26. I believe that 1000%. And, AGAIN, on taxpayer's dime.

Might also be inoculation against what Bolton's book might reveal.

I don't believe WH will be successful in stopping that book's publication.
We'll see soon enough, of course.

[Brother Buzz]

18. Both appointed to the President's Commission on White House Fellowships.

The purpose of the White House Fellows program is to provide gifted and highly motivated young Americans with some first-hand experience in the process of governing the Nation and a sense of personal involvement in the leadership of society.

Are these nonsense appointments, or has the orange anus has simply run out of names of people willing to join his crappy team?

[live love laugh]

19. How long before Huckabee returns? 🤮

[lunatica]

28. I'm wondering the same thing

It’s not like What’s Her Face ever took Sarah’s place or did any actual communications work.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

20. well, Easter is coming and some one has to play the Easter bunny

[meadowlander]

21. They couldn't get jobs doing anything else?

[tblue37]

23. Spicer and Priebus must love being kicked. nt

[sandensea]

25. Good. We'll get to enjoy Melissa McCarthy's Spisser impressions again.

[lunatica]

32. SNL rejoices!

[Lindsay]

31. Maggie Haberman, who's been

pretty much the Royal Court Stenographer for Trump at the NYT, says it's Jared consolidating power to diminish Mulvaney. (My recollection is that Hope Hicks was one of Haberman's sources when she was at the WH previously.)

Text for the twitter-deprived:

What is happening today is part of Kushner consolidating power. This all further weakens Mulvaney and is part of Trump’s post-impeachment/pre-campaign effort to make over the government in his image.
