Q: 1.  He  was resigning  his  seat by the end of the year.
2.  He  didn't believe  he  had done anything for which  he  should have been forced to resign.
 Franken 's speech was defined primarily by  his  lack of any real apology and the clear bitterness  he  carries for being pushed out amid allegations that  he  had groped several women and forcibly tried to kiss others.
Here's the key bit from  Franken  (bolding is mine):
That's a remarkable statement.  Franken  is simultaneously saying that  he  believes the women who have accused  him  have a right to be heard while also making very clear that  he  is not admitting  he  had done the things they alleged.
 He  went on to note that "I know in my heart that nothing I have done as a senator  nothing has brought dishonor on this institution " adding: "I am confident that the ethics committee would agree."
And  just in case there was any question that  Franken  believed  he  was being unfairly railroaded  the senator's turn to Donald Trump and Roy Moore cleared all that up.
Said  Franken :
"I am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about  his  history of sexual assault sits in the Oval Office and a man who repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the Senate with the full support of his party. But this decision is not about me. It's about the people of Minnesota."
 Franken  got support in that view from an unlikely source on Thursday: Former Bush White House press secretary Ari Fleischer. " Franken  should not have resigned.  His  fate should have been left 2 the people of MN. Moore  who had sexual contact w a 14-yr old  should drop out. Conyers  who hit on his employees  should have resigned.  Franken  is a creep who acted inappropriatly  but  his  facts are different " tweeted Fleischer shortly after  Franken 's resignation announcement.
The second part of  Franken 's conclusion will have a lot of Democratic heads nodding. Why is  Franken  resigning for allegations of groping and unwanted kissing while Trump is in office after more than a dozen women accused him during the campaign of sexual harassment? Why is  Franken  resigning when Roy Moore  who faces multiple allegations of pursuing relationships with teenagers as young as 14 when  he  was in  his  30s  is looking more and more like a winner in next Tuesday's special election?
Those are fair questions. The simple reason is because  Franken  gave in to the pressure to step aside while Trump and Moore just kept saying they didn't do anything wrong and had no plans to leave their respective races. And the political willpower didn't exist in Alabama or the country to get rid of them.
But the first part of  Franken 's contention -- that  he  did not do anything wrong and these women were either mistaken or misremembering -- will sit less well even with  his  most ardent supporters.
If  Franken  truly believes -- as  he  said -- that  he  did nothing wrong here  then why is  he  resigning?  His  explanation was that  he  couldn't simultaneously deal with an ethics investigation and represent the state effectively. But  he  was the one who called for an ethics investigation when  he  announced last week that  he  was planning to stay on the job and work to win back the trust of  his  colleagues and  his  constituents!
The answer is that almost three dozen of  Franken 's colleagues called for  him  to step down over the last 24 hours -- including a united front of Democratic female senators . There was just no way that  Franken  could realistically stay on amid that depth of condemnation. (Although  per Trump and Moore  maybe he could have.)
 Franken  bowed to what he believed to be the inevitable political reality facing him. But in so doing   he  wanted to make sure everyone -- in the chamber and outside of it -- didn't see  his  resignation as an admission of guilt. Because  Franken  just doesn't think  he 's guilty.

Q: There would be much to investigate. A few senior officials in the West Wing had access to details of the allegations of physical and emotional abuse made by  Mr. Porterâs  ex-wives. A greater number of people had a sense that something was amiss  but chose to avert their gaze instead of asking questions.
The first hours after the issue was brought to light by an article in The Daily Mail were a confused blur  with officials like Mr. Kelly at first endorsing  Mr. Porter âs resignation  but then agreeing to issue statements in support of  him . That disarray belied the belief of some in the White House that someone â Mr. Kelly â was finally in charge after six months of drama and infighting in 2017. In reality  these officials now concede  no one truly was.
âThey havenât figured out how the place operates  and apparently they donât want to learn â said John Dean  a White House counsel under President Richard M. Nixon. The  Porter  situation  he added  âis a manifestation of what happens when you have chaos.â
Mr. Kelly  a four-star Marine general  had been billed as uniquely qualified to bring order to Mr. Trumpâs world when he took his post in July. Now he faces a morale crisis in the West Wing  where aides describe a sense of betrayal by a chief of staff they no longer trust after his claims that he had not fully known about  Mr. Porter âs problems and had acted within minutes once  he  learned of them.
But in the case of  Mr. Porter   White House aides privately acknowledge  some advisers appear to have chosen to try to protect a colleague who was generally well liked and  more important  too competent to lose. Mr. Trump himself often expressed his regard for  Mr. Porter  by describing him as âout of central casting.â
In the hours after the allegations against  Mr. Porter  became public  some senior officials in fact hesitated to force  him  out  in part because they argued that if one top adviser could be felled by accusations  they could all potentially be vulnerable.  Mr. Porter  denied privately to  his  colleagues  as well as publicly  that  he  had ever physically abused  his  wives.
What distinguished this crisis from the ones that preceded it was that it was not localized to one official  such as Stephen K. Bannon  the isolated chief strategist who left in August  or Reince Priebus  the often uninformed chief of staff who departed a month before that.  Mr. Porterâs case  had spread to so many aspects of the White House that  it  ensnared a number of staff members.
While multiple officials in the West Wing were aware that he had been unable to pass his background check  none appear to have made an effort to ascertain precisely why and take action on it. Several former White House counsels have said they would have made it their business to know if an official at Mr. Porterâs level was facing allegations as serious as domestic abuse  but officials in the White House have privately maintained that Donald F. McGahn II  the White House counsel  never did.
Yet former White House advisers from both parties have been mystified at the ineptitude of Mr. Trumpâs team in dealing with the fallout from Mr. Porterâs situation.

Q: Washington (CNN)  Secretary of State Rex Tillerson  the stone-faced former oil executive Donald Trump tapped to serve as his global envoy   is increasingly seen by administration officials and diplomats as on  his  way out -- just as flash-points from Iran to North Korea flare.
The impression that  Tillerson's  days as Trump's top diplomat are numbered was fueled this week by new reports of acrimony between the two men -- principally  that  Tillerson  had questioned Trump's intelligence to other top officials.
More than a dozen sources inside the administration and in diplomatic circles describe the relationship between  Tillerson  and Trump as reaching a new low. The two men have failed to develop the type of close relationship that Trump enjoys with other members of his Cabinet. Radically different in personality  Tillerson and Trump have chafed at each other's perceived slights.
 Tillerson  has told friends  he  intends to remain in  his  post for at least a year  a psychological deadline that would allow  him  -- in  his  own mind -- to depart with dignity. But irritation with  his  boss  paired with frustration at the entrenched ways of Washington  have led  him  to waver at times.
There were indications this week that  Tillerson  would remain in  his  job for now  including public displays of support from Trump. A source familiar with the turmoil surrounding Tillerson says there is "no indication" the secretary's job is in jeopardy  at least not immediately.
This source said  Tillerson  remains focused on  his  job. "That's where  his  head is " the source said.
At the White House Friday  Trump's press secretary said the President retained confidence in  Tillerson   despite the growing sense in Washington that his days are numbered.
Trump  however  has expressed frustration that  Tillerson  is stymieing aspects of  his  agenda. Trump grew furious on Wednesday when early morning news reports emerged that  Tillerson  had called him a "moron" during a meeting about Afghanistan over the summer. The public airing of the insult deeply angered the President  who vented on Twitter that the story amounted to "fake news."
Multiple sources told CNN that Trump was aware that  Tillerson  had used the word to describe him before the public report emerged  though it wasn't clear when he first learned of it. Having the information leaked  however  enraged him.
Early Wednesday   Tillerson  spoke with Trump's chief of staff John Kelly by phone as the story aired on morning television. Both agreed that  Tillerson  should deliver a statement refuting aspects of the report  which also said he had considered resigning from his post.
 Tillerson  delivered a set of remarks that adamantly denied he'd ever considered leaving the administration  and offered effusive praise for Trump's foreign policy objectives.
"There's never been a consideration in my mind to leave "  Tillerson  said from the State Department Treaty Room.
But he did not deny calling Trump a "moron" when asked directly. Later  the State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said  Tillerson  told her he'd never used that language to describe the President.
But he has continued to bristle amid differences with the White House. Last week  Trump undercut his position on talks with North Korea after  Tillerson  said in Beijing that the US has direct channels of communication with Pyongyang. Trump said on Twitter that  Tillerson  was "wasting him time." Differences also persist between the two men on the Iran nuclear deal  which Trump vowed to scrap as a candidate.
Trump  according to people familiar with the dynamic  has grown resentful of  Tillerson's  differing stances on those policy issues  believing his secretary of state to be overly dismissive at times.
