I don’t necessarily doubt your assertions. I am just expecting a source that confirms your interpretation, so that you are not alone in your tea leaves.
Where is your source that Miller is of any interest to Matin?
Who said that Miller is assuming any influence whatsoever over the input from the Joint Chiefs of Staff?
Perhaps you don’t remember the source?
If one can believe Joe:
Scarborough: Stephen Miller ‘a very young person on power trip in White House’
From the post:
“Scarborough painted a picture of White House staffers in a battle with the senior foreign policy team. Scarborough singled out Stephen Miller, saying “you’ve got a very young person in the White House on a power trip thinking that you can just write executive orders and tell all of your cabinet agencies to go to hell.”

I don’t remember. It’s on FR..and you will never know for sure until you see the end result.
