The operative word in my challenge was “consequential.”
Our Intelligence agencies and the State Department are politically corrupted, from top to bottom. If Pompeo has had any impact at all on that corruption, I am not aware of it.
White House assistant Stephen Miller is also a Conservative. I know that because (LOL) the New York Times and the Washington Post exclaim it once a week. Allegedly, Miller is an immigration policy hawk. However, since Trump's only quantifiable immigration achievement has been reducing refugee admissions from 80,000 to 40,000, I am still waiting to see the results of Miller's hawkish policies.
Acting Chief of Staff and OMB Director Mike Mulvaney is also a Conservative. Unfortunately, Mulvaney’s first budget was $800 billion in debt, even though he had record tax collections, no wars, high employment, and low interest rates. Mulvaney’s second budget was already $100 billion more in debt than his first budget after the first two months (October and November) of Fiscal 2019. Mulvaney has also become an immigration dove since becoming OMB Director.
You’ll find it’s much easier to corrupt something than it is to uncorrupt it.
