Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan is at the center of a federal investigation into the leak of confidential government information in late June that forced Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to call off a nationwide operation, three senior administration officials told the Washington Examiner.
Following the publishing of sensitive leaked law enforcement information on June 21, then-acting ICE Director Mark Morgan’s team followed department protocol and reported the incident to the ICE Joint Intake Center so they could investigate. JIC is an agency office that handles internal investigations of personnel misconduct, sexual abuse, staff neglect, or violations of responsibilities that may have contributed to such incidents.

The investigation, which is not a criminal probe, is centered around the leader of the department’s 240,000 employees, as well as at least one aide, for possible involvement in the leak. ICE did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It's not clear if JIC has referred the matter to the DHS Office of the Inspector General.
“Any investigation into the malicious, unauthorized disclosure of the operations is completely justified. Any causal observer would logically deduce that McAleenan’s dodgy response and coy behavior warrant additional scrutiny,” a second senior official said late Thursday.

There is absolutely no evidence to support your constant idiocy pimping sessions.
If sessions was doing such a great job as you claim trump would not have fired him.
You never seem to tire of humiliating yourself.
That’s about the size of it.
The aides or lawyers making the referrals are the ones to blame.
Can them first.
“The deep state involves may CAREER bureaucrats working against the administration from within.”
That has been the complaint of every appointed department head of every Republican administration. Over the years the ranks of the career government have become saturated with liberals and they have found all kinds of means to undermine their Republican leaders.
Youbetcha... the operative word is "started." Look at the work product of Huber. Jeff Sessions spent his days hiding, IMHO.
I’ve said here previously, President Trump could have filled his cabinet from the pits at an NHRA sanctioned drag race, and found more credible people.Perhaps. Initially.
But eventually, the inhabitants of the Deep Swamp will find their pressure point and recruit them to the dark side.
There are literally trillions of dollars at stake, which means money is no object. They can unleash armies of lawyers, operatives, and muscle at unsuspecting targets.
Unlimited resources = unlimited pressure.
Totally agree!
That’s the next phase...a return to law and order.
Public hangings, after a speedy trial. One appeal, and done! Make an example out of the treasonous bastards, right on the National Mall, and on public PBS television.
I would advocate 10 per day to start. I’m thinking word would travel fast.
Trump sure makes bad decisions when it comes to those with whom he surrounds himself. Such as his liberal daughter? Bad choices.
Another turkey running DHS. Starting to miss the good old days of Jeh Johnson.

sad but true
The swamp is deeper & wider & more toxic than anyone can imagine.

Magoo has as much to do with the exposure of leakers in the Trump administration as Rosie O'Donnell does :)

[Revolution on FOX News) did a segment a few months ago about some of the people being hired by the Trump administration. They all seemed to be in opposition to Trump’s policies and they are now in key positions. ]
Fix the leaks.

You got that right........such a good President.....such a sorry bunch of SOB’s in the Cesspool.....
The president should can as much of DC as is possible and replace them all with Freepers. Then he could get something accomplished.
