Rawstory is reporting, the
Human Events: The National Conservative Weekly quotes a source as saying that Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff only has a "few days left."
In the aftermath of the public revelation of the presidential "teleconference" and mounting criticism of the performance of Michael Chertoff, Administration sources told HUMAN EVENTS today that the secretary of Homeland Security has "only a few days left" in the Bush Cabinet.
As one source acquainted with the former federal prosecutor and U.S. appellate judge said under promise of anonymity, "They will give [Chertoff] a little time so it won't hurt his reputation too much, but he's probably got only a few days left."
The Human Events further states that this is a result of the release of video conference tapes between the Bush Administration and FEMA/DHS officials:
But with the release of the teleconference two days ago and resultant media discussion of the President's apparent silence as Brown informs him of pending disaster ("Is Brown Owed An Apology?" was the theme of a debate on Fox News last night), criticism of Chertoff and calls for his resignation have been enhanced.
Now, at least one source close to him says the end of his tenure as the nation's second secretary of Homeland Security is near.
