>> and ashley, a word about mr. porter. as we've stressed this week, the title of staff secretary is one of those misleading titles. it's more accurately the deputy chief of staff, oddly the title he was up for in promotion had he stayed. documents, phone calls, communications with the entire web of the rest of the government. having put it that way and knowing what we know about these allegations in mr. porter's past, you've done some reporting tonight and how and why he was able to last as long as he did. >> so the reason he was able to last as long as he did was that in this white house, we all know it's incredibly chaotic, incredibly turbulent, and professionally at least he was viewed as sort of an adult in the room. he was by all accounts smart and professional and competent and a stabilizing force. and so even when these allegations first came to light, there was a sense in the white house that they wanted him there, they thought he was doing a good job. they didn't want to have to worry about finding a replacement.
