Stephen Miller Sabotaged Nielsen By Showing Trump Bad Immigration News He Leaked to Washington Exam

Stephen Miller Sabotaged Nielsen By Showing Trump Bad Immigration News He Leaked to Washington Examiner: Report

Stephen Miller, the senior advisor to President Donald Trump, would have a sneaky way to ruin the day of Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen and get her to stop resisting new immigration policy proposals.

Quartz reports “former agency officials,” said Miller would leak the monthly number of immigrants apprehended at the border and those seeking asylum to the Washington Examiner, who would then publish a story about the high numbers.

Miller would then print out the story and give it to Trump. After seeing the story, Trump would then “pick up the phone and blast Nielsen…and she’d capitulate on the issue at hand.”

The story is just the latest in reports on how Miller is behind the “purge” at the Department of Homeland Security. Quartz added he is looking at getting rid of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Lee Francis Cissna.

She will no longer be tempted to commit even worse atrocities in order to toady up to a boss who can't be pleased. Now at least she might be able to get a job as a prison matron.

that is what got Bannon canned, when he was seen as the real President. Trumper can't handle anyone else getting more press than he does, or any idea that he is being handled by someone.
