Just curious - is this really a faster rate of turnover than in the past?

Edit: Slightly different perspectives in NYT and WaPo. NYT is nicer.

    Much faster turnover, from everything I've heard. This one really surprised me though because she's been seen as the most likely to last the full term.

    Just, you know, didn't want to indulge in observer bias or other kinds of bias.

    I'm not sure if or how it is connected, but Mueller has reportedly been asking questions about comments Hicks has made both about Trump team contacts with Russia (pre-inauguration, I think) and about that statement Trump put out after Jr admitted to meeting Veselnitskaya in Trump Tower.

    It at least seems like a pattern has formed where Mueller's team starts asking someone questions and they either get fired or resign within a short time thereafter. It may be an illusion, it may be coincidental, but it is also interesting/troubling/amusing/whatevs.
