President Trump has decided to remove Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, and her departure from the administration is likely to occur in the coming weeks, if not sooner, according to five current and former White House officials.

Trump canceled a planned trip with Nielsen this week to visit U.S. troops at the border in South Texas and told aides over the weekend he wants her out as soon as possible, these officials said. The president has grumbled for months about what he views as Nielsen’s lackluster performance on immigration enforcement and is believed to be looking for a replacement who will implement his policy ideas with more alacrity.

The announcement could come as soon as this week, three of these officials said.

Sheriff Joe is 85 years old. Eighty-five.

He needs to be at home writing his memoires.

John James

Great pick!

The Federal law enforcement agencies, especially the FBI, and the civilian bureaucracies are so filled with never that it may take a strike so massive that it would make Nixon’s Saturday Night Massacre look like a dispute over the color of the carpet in a church hall.

Interesting thought, that.
*IF* (and at this point take it with a 50-lb bag of salt)
Trump / Q have anything left after the election fraud debacle, (Nielsen said the midterms were secure), will Nielsen *also* have leaked the President’s plans for the swamp, too?

[proust]

shoot, she might even be the high level admin deep stater George Papa was hinting at recently. thrown in a “lodestar” NYT essay and we’ve got a genuine conspiracy theory.

[little jeremiah]

Oh, so this is all leaked by Nielsen? If so, I hope she’s fired tomorrow. And even if she leaked it, some may indeed be fabricated. Are you guessing she leaked it, or have knowledge of that?

[Windflier]

Trump / Q

I wish you Q folk would confine that stuff to the Q threads.

Especially since JimRob already told you to.

[proust]

Just speculating. when people get fired, they usually call the press first to get out in front of the story. Could be someone on her staff looking to make a name for themselves. A similar thing happened with Rex Tillerson’s staff trying to spin the firing.

The Dems’ reaction to that appointment would be high entertainment.

And Palin’s job performance would undoubtedly be highly satisfactory.

[grey_whiskers]

Well, hypothetically, if Palin were DHS Secretary, there’d be a vacuum in someone to oversee drilling.
Trump could mend fences with the Swamp resurgent by nominating ¿Jeb? to be the Secretary of (Low) Energy...

[little jeremiah]

Thanks. Makes sense.

This isn't the least bit surprising. I do not think this is a job for a Woman unless she's someone like Sarah... and they are few and far between. Takes a lot of backbone and keeping emotions in checks because the Libs roll out all the feeley touchy they can regarding immigration.

[caww]

Lots of these positions were fill-ins even if appointed. Not unusual to sift the leadership after midterms......expect more.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

AND the leakers need to be gone too!

[Bob Ireland]

***...told aides over the weekend he wants her out as soon as possible***

I tend to doubt this. She has always seemed quite supportive of Trump's policies to me.

[caww]

That's exactly what's happening...they're transporting them to our borders. I suspect a lot of mexicans with them will also join the effort to crush rush our border.

I say this because they'll only be willing to come in at point of entry as a stall till all are here at the border.

This is a fully funded Globalist push of third worlders into our country. It's been ‘long’ planned by the Globalist to 'integrate' the Americas populations. They knew this could not happen after Hillary lost...so they're using people to do it anyway.

Rudy?! That's be a joke, I hope. Rudy is old, corrupt, has no self-control. Let him stay retired so he doesn't embarrass Trump.

He needs someone who believes in the rule of law, believes in the executive's power to carry out the laws.

[Reno89519]

Joe Clark. Interesting suggestion. He might be an interesting choice.

[SaveFerris]

Of course. Washington ComPost is a Commie rag dedicated to making the President look bad.
