Trump reportedly ordered acting White House chief of staff to fire 'Secret Service Director Randolph Alles',.. Alles insists he wasn't fired but knew about a coming transition two weeks ago.

'U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Lee Cissna'... is also leaving....So are DHS undersecretary for management 'Claire Grady' and general counsel 'John Mitnick'.

Trump adviser Stephen Miller, the 33-year-old former staffer to then-Sen. Jeff Sessions.... Alles, Cissna, Grady and Mitnick were on a list of officials Miller targeted for removal as 'too soft,' according to a White House official.

White House official said Monday that the Secret Service shift had been in the works for two weeks and was unrelated to the Mar-a-Lago incident.

Alles wrote in a message to his agency that '[n]o doubt you have seen media reports regarding my "firing." I assure you that this is not the case, and in fact was told weeks ago by the Administration that transitions in leadership should be expected across the Department of Homeland Security.'

the president is looking around to reshape his team so that he can have the people in place to carry out his agenda,' he said during a Fox News Channel interview. 'And quite frankly he has the right to do that.'

The Secret Service is best known for protecting the president and vice president and their families, and those who formerly served in office.

“They’ll be like locusts covering the states.”

If he had fired these people before the “witch hunt” was over he would have been lambasted buy the dems and the media for interfering with the investigation. Obstruction of justice don’t ya know.

Another Retired Marine General who opposes ending the open border and mass migration form the 3rd world. Shameful what the Corps has produced for senior officers these days.

My wife asked me why this spate of firings/retirings and I said, “Trump is building a war-room of action people” to take on the courts, border security, internal security, and illegal immigration.

Nielson was pretty good and I guess Tex was too but the opposition has a lock on the federal Appeals courts so Trump has to plow through them to get these cases before the Supreme Court.

One reason Trump might not be pushing the total repeal of Obamacare right now is that he wants Ginsburg to be off the court (alive or stiff, doesn’t matter, but off). That way he can get another one of his key appointments on the bench and have a clear5-4 or 6-3 majority to uphold his immigration actions and laws.

He’s bringing in stronger fighters to advise him because the enemy is strong and totally obstructionist. You fight fire with a bigger counter-fire and better fire trucks.

I need to find out more about him.... I’m embarrassed saying I know little except he’s been a hardliner on immigration and worked along side of Sessions.

Yes...I think your right. And I think I read not long ago the debate time for Judges was changed from 30 days to two....and if the GOP is together they’ll vote and it’ll actually be one day.

It is.

FDR's first VP, John Nance Garner, described the position as "not worth a bucket of warm piss" (usually quoted as "spit" but that's the cleaned up version).

We can thank Obama for a lot of all these leftovers still hanging about. And the former ones who hang out in media are about as worthless as can possibly be in their analysis as events open. Too many are still in the cold war mentality which gets in the way of what the actual events are and to do about.

Never underestimate how chess is played on the political board. And in other ways Trump is like a master fisherman who lets out the reel and waits, and waits, and waits for the big fish while he watches the little fish nibble at the bait that he knows will get eaten when the big fish bites.

Wow.

Unless you’re planning on taking over after 8 years, it’s not much of a job

Most likely Trump was informed by his own people and he took their suggestions.

Shame it is. Every flag officer is political by nature (to a point). But it was never this bad when I was in.
