wow.. from JP Morgan to DHS
Nielsen, who led DHS between December 2017 and April 2019, used her term to post like-minded allies into key positions with the approval of the White House’s personnel office, sources told Breitbart News. Many job candidates who supported Trump’s policies were blocked even before the interview stage.
Under McAleenan,“You don’t see an influx of these pro-Trump types,” one source said. “This is who McAleenan is bringing with him. All career federal employees — Washington beltway people.”
Two of the most influential Nielsen allies include Chad Wolf and Elizabeth Neumann — who is described as a personal friend of Nielsen’s.
Wolf, like Neumann, was a personal friend of Nielsen before becoming her Chief of Staff. Wolf, whom sources describe as an avid opponent of the president and his immigration agenda, remains a senior official coordinating most of all policy at DHS and works with McAleenan on a daily basis, sources said.
One source who spoke anonymously to Breitbart News said Wolf and other Trump opponents working at DHS run the agency as though they are not accountable to the president. Instead, the source said, they implement policies they agree with and stop implementation of policies they oppose.
Many of McAleenan’s new hires at DHS, sources said, are staffers from the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency. Sources repeatedly noted that CBP has a large anti-Trump contingent that was vocal during the 2016 presidential election.
Some of those CBP officials that may be brought on to DHS by McAleenan or have already been moved over to the agency are Patrick Flanagan, Valerie Boyd, and Andrew Meehan, according to sources.
I'm guessing some leaks have been plugged and roadblocks removed. Wolf needs to go too.
