My impression was that they expected Kelly to impose discipline on the WH staff, channeling people through him before they went directly to the President, and putting a stop to the infighting among staff.

And, IIRC most of the talking heads I heard were saying that the Twitterverse was exactly where Kelly's influence would end.

Trump will be Trump.
