The Hill: Mattis, Kelly hatched travel pact to keep tabs on Trump: report
Two of President Trump's top advisers reportedly agreed in the early days of the administration that they would not leave the United States at the same time, in order to ensure they could monitor orders coming from the White House.
The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that Secretary of Defense James Mattis and then-Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly — who was sworn in as chief of staff on Monday — agreed in the early weeks of Trump's presidency to coordinate travel plans so that one of them would always be in the United States.
The pact, revealed to The AP by an anonymous official close to Mattis and Kelly, seems to hint at the nature of the Trump administration's internal relations.
Both Mattis and Kelly have been active in providing clarification of executive orders released by the White House.

WNU Editor: The key excerpt from the AP report is the following ....
.... Mattis and Kelly also agreed in the earliest weeks of Trump's presidency that one of them should remain in the United States at all times to keep tabs on the orders rapidly emerging from the White House, according to a person familiar with the discussions. The official insisted on anonymity in order to discuss the administration's internal dynamics.
Hmmmm .... the information for this story is from one anonymous source. Should we be sceptical .... yes.

Fiction has to be at least plausible,......
So some of your smart employees below you agree to coordinate on what would best for the US and president?
What if you found out your VP for marketing and VP for PR agreed that they would not be on vacation at the same time? And also agree to be in the country in case some image problem hit the fan?
That's good planning by your underlings.
Psst: Most reporters have not had real jobs.
