Trump Fires Secret Service Director…

Trump is removing US Secret Service director

United States Secret Service director Randolph “Tex” Alles is being removed from his position, multiple administration officials tell CNN. President Donald Trump instructed his acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, to fire Alles. Alles remains in his position as of now but has been asked to leave.

The Secret Service director reports directly to the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen, who resigned on Sunday amid growing pressure from the President. The director oversees the Secret Service’s work on both protection and investigations.

“There is a near-systematic purge happening at the nation’s second-largest national security agency,” one senior administration official says.

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services director Francis Cissna and Office of the General Counsel’s John Mitnick are expected to be gone soon, and the White House is eyeing others to be removed.

The President in recent weeks empowered Stephen Miller to lead the administration’s border policies “and he’s executing his plan” with what amounts to a wholesale decapitation of the Department of Homeland Security leadership, the official says.

Neither the USSS nor the White House immediately responded to CNN’s request for comment.

Alles previously served in Customs and Border Protection leadership and also led that agency’s Air and Marine Operations. He is a 35-year veteran of the Marine Corps.

It was not immediately clear what prompted his firing, but the Secret Service recently came under scrutiny after a Chinese woman illegally entered the President’s Mar-a-Lago club carrying Chinese passports and a flash drive containing malware.

Will the last department head at DHS please turn out the lights? DHS will be without a permanent leader in most of its top jobs, including Secretary, deputy Secretary, head of FEMA, head of ICE, Customs and Border Protection, and the Secret Service. Francis Cissna, who heads US Citizenship and Immigration, is also rumored ro be at risk.

Trump should replace him with Dan Bongino, a true career public servant who knows the organization, not some career bureaucrat.

Dems are trying to make an issue of the fact that Trump has replaced more high officials than anyone else, as if that’s a bad thing. Trump comes from the business world where you perform or you are replaced. In government they follow the Peter Principle where they rise to the level of incompetence and stay there forever.

There was a major security breach at Mar-A-Lago a Chinese woman carrying malware and computer hard drives got on the property unauthorized.

That’s why Trump fired him.

It is a redundant thread.

Now that Senate confirmation has been streamlined to 2 hours of debate, expect a wholesale purging of Obama holdovers, to be replaced by people Trump actually trusts.

And that's why they don't like him. He doesn't and won't play by the uniparty cabal's rules in The Swamp. He plays by his own rules.

"How dare he bring the outside world of reality into our we-got-a-good-thing-goin' DC town? Bring him down!"

Perfectly explained. Thanks.

So the US SS let in a Chinese national, into proximity of the President and the associated computer network.

Trump’s resort operations caught her, and brought her to the attention of the US SS, who now can no longer show incompetence.

Deja Vu. The Washington FBI could no longer feign ignorance of Hillary’s SoS fraud when the Southern District of NY FBI agents found Huma’s laptop in October 2016.

A surprise, accidental, October Surprise that likely swung the election.

By the way, I worked at various national laboratories. It was drilled into us that Asian visitors must be escorted by no fewer than two lab employees. Other nation visitors only need one escort.
