The first year of Trump’s White House has seen more firings, resignations, and reassignments of top staffers than any other first-year administration in modern history. His Cabinet turnover exceeds that of any other administration in the last 100 years.

With the Trump administration rapidly approaching its halfway point—January 20, 2019—it’s time to size up its litany of casualties.

Among these: 

FIRED: 

• Preet Bharara – U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York
• Sally Yates – Assistant United States Attorney General
• James Comey – FBI Director
• Rex Tillerson – Secretary of State
• Andrew McCabe – FBI Deputy Director 
• Jeff Sessions – United States Attorney General 

RESIGNED:

• Katie Walsh – Deputy White House Chief of Staff
• Michael T. Flynn – National Security Adviser
• Walter Shaub – Office of Government Ethics Director
• Michael Dubke – Communications Director
• Sean Spicer – Press Secretary
• Reince Priebus – Chief of Staff
• Anthony Scaramucci – Communications Director
• Steve Bannon – Chief Strategist
• Sebastian Gorka – Deputy Assistant to the President
• Tom Price – Secretary of Health and Human Services
• Omarosa Manigault-Newman – Director of Communications for White House Office of Public Liaison
• Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald – Director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention 
• Rob Porter – White House Staff Secretary
• Hope Hicks – White House Communications Director
• Gary Cohn – Director of the National Economic Council
• H.R. McMaster – National Security Adviser 
• Tom Bossert – Homeland Security Adviser
• Scott Pruitt – Director, Environmental Protection Agency
• Don McGahn – White House Counsel
• Nikki Haley – United States Ambassador to the United Nations
• David Shulkin – Secretary of the Veterans Administration 

This listing, however, does not tell the full story. 

Among those who were fired—and the real reasons why:

• Jeff Sessions – Fired as Attorney General because he refused to quash Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller’s probe into proven connections between Russian Intelligence agents and high-ranking members of Trump’s Presidential campaign. 
• On the day after the November, 2018 mid-term elections, Trump fired him. 
• James Comey – Fired as FBI Director because he refused to pledge his personal loyalty to Trump. Trump also hoped to end the FBI’s investigation of links between Russian Intelligence agents and members of his 2016 Presidential campaign.
• Trump later admitted to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak: “I just fired the head of the FBI….I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.” 
• Don McGahn – Resigned as White House Counsel after repeatedly clashing with Trump about the best strategy for dealing with Mueller’s investigation. 
• Tom Bossert – Trump’s Homeland Security Adviser, was fired by John Bolton, the new National Security Adviser.  
• Sally Yates – Fired by Trump as Acting Attorney General for her aggressive pursuit of Michael Flynn’s treasonous contacts with Russian Intelligence officials during the 2016 Presidential campaign. She had also refused to uphold Trump’s executive order on immigration and denounced it as unlawful.
• Preet Bharara – Fired by Trump as United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Although an Obama appointee, Trump had initially asked him to stay on—and then abruptly fired him. The possible reason: He was known as one of Wall Street’s fiercest watchdogs and a widely respected prosecutor. Trump believes that corporations should be immune from their crimes—and, as President, has worked to confer such immunity upon them.
• Rex Tillerson – Trump’s Secretary of State, was fired without warning while on a trip to Africa. The reason: In 2017, word leaked to the press that Tillerson had called Trump “a moron.”   
• Steve Bannon – Although he officially resigned, Trump fired his Fascistic chief strategist after Bannon heatedly clashed with other members of the White House. 
• Anthony Scaramucci – Although he officially resigned, he was in fact fired by Trump at the urging of John Kelly. The reason: An obscenity-laced interview with The New Yorker, where he attacked members of the Trump administration—most notably Bannon.

Among those who resigned—and the real reasons why:

• Scott Pruitt – Although he technically resigned as head of the Environmental Protection Agency, he was in effect fired. He was under several federal ethics investigation for lavish spending, conflicts of interests with corporate lobbyists, and enlisting his official government staffers to run personal errands.
• Rob Porter – The White House Staff Secretary resigned after after two of his ex-wives accused him of physical and emotional abuse. 
• Michael Flynn – Although he officially resigned, he was in fact fired as National Security Adviser. The reason: He had discussed, with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, ending the Obama administration’s sanctions against Russia. Then he lied about it to Vice President Mike Pence. When these facts became public, Flynn was sent packing.
