The White House and Department of Justice have reportedly been discussing potentially throwing journalists in jail to reveal the identities of leakers and fresh White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is behind the plan.
In an Atlantic report about the exit of Susie Wiles from her chief of staff role at the White House, it was revealed that a plan to jail journalists is in consideration in the administration. Wiles reportedly pushed back on such a plan while Miller gave it his endorsement.
According to the report, which cites multiple people familiar with the situation, Donald Trump has been pressing the DOJ to pursue criminal cases against people who leak information to the media on “national security grounds.” Various “tactics” have been discussed, including arresting journalists to push them into revealing their sources.
Two of the sources cited in the report said that Wiles “pushed back” on this tactic while Miller “was in favor and insisted that it wouldn’t take long for journalists to give up their sources.”
Miller assumes everyone else is as spineless and unprincipled as he is.
I doubt they get a single source by arresting journalists and are more likely to cause a Streissand effect.
I wonder if “JD” “Vance” had a panic attack…
A coworker said Stephen Miller can’t be a Nazi because he is Jewish…
Your coworker should look into what Miller’s own family has to say about him.
That’s what I told him and he says it’s all a psyop I’m falling for.
It’s funny how gullible people of all stripes often have the same ultimate fallback when faced with information that challenges their worldview: it’s due to a government psyop/troll farm/et cetera.
Ah right. That would have been my cue to stop speaking with this person beyond the bare minimum needed to do my job.
After laughing in their face, of course.
Yea pretty much what I did.

Your coworker needs to be shown that page.
I will definitely send this to him but I doubt he will read it.
Do it, FAFO
Oh look, blatantly violating the first amendment.
Got the perfect use case for the 2nd.
Oh look, blatantly violating the first amendment.
Again
MAGA knows they can’t allow elections in 2028, or they are all going to prison, and very possibly worse. Nobody understands this more than PeeWee Himmler. He is willing to do the worst things imaginable to American Citizens, and Trump has known this all along, that’s why he has kept PeeWee Himmler close since 2015. This is his Scorched Earth General, the guy to bring in at the end when the situation is desperate. He will gleefully unleash unspeakable violence and cruelty upon millions of his fellow citizens. He has been dreaming about it all his life.
America is in the hands of a genuine madman, and it’s going to be a wild bumpy ride for the next two years, and extremely dangerous. Remain alert, Citizens.
America is in the hands of a genuine madman
This is why we need to use Trump’s ego against him. Draft up a bill to enact medicare for all, restrictions on ICE and a bunch of ther things, but add in Trump’s arch and a provision to convert Stone Mountain to a Bust of Trump and name it the “Trump is the greatest president ever” bill. Then tell Trump, “This is how you destroy Obamacare and eliminate all of Obama’s accomplishments”.
I bet he’d sign it.
Classic mistake: Never argue with someone who buys their ink by the barrel. PeeWee Himmler should know this, but he’s a fan of following failed ides like Nazism.
Have they thought about arresting those people inside their own organisation who leaked the information in the first place? Like e.g. JD Vance recently?
You have to torture the names out of the journalists, that’s the fun part.
Exactly. It’s not like there are hordes of flaming liberals with access to the “leaked” information.
The calls to the reporters came from inside the house, and were made by very unhappy Rs. There are literally no other possible suspects.
How about they arrest child molesters who worked with Epstein?
ah. so. problem with that. do you know anything, a single fact, about law makers, judges, or cops?
if you do, you’ll understand why none of them are in board with that.
going after the Epstein list seriously would necessarily be a violent revolution. the entire state and system of capital would be dismantled.
And?
Lol why are we calling journalist reporting “leaks.”
The same reason they call making life slightly less miserable “socialism” and groups against fascism “terrorist organizations”
He really wants to end up in prison. We should make sure his dream comes true
Miller will wait for bad weather, like when it is hailing out, and then he will do a siege. Siege hail! /s
Can we skip the speed run and go straight to the bunker suicide? I’m tired man
I firmly believe that his ego would never allow him to kill himself. He’d flee and even hide Saddam-style, before ever ending himself. Unfortunately.
Sorry, gonna have to wait until January 2029, when they refuse to come out of the White House for their plane flight to Gitmo.
The (clown) show must go on! Sorry, no, this landfill fire needs to burn out. Oh yeah, did I mention it’s that landfill the air force dumped their nuclear waste in and now can’t find? Yeah, it’s not great.
bunker not finished yet.
Tou-fucking-ché
If he needs the ballroom for the bunker under it to do that. Let him have it.
Old man time has his hands around this bitch’s throat already, he will be gone before it’s completed anyway. He’s already gone mentally, he was bad before, but now he’s just a stark raving cunt.
Let’s be fiscally responsible here: Just tell him it’s done and put him in a small room with no windows. Much cheaper.
What they should have done was just put him in a fake oval office instead of letting him be president
Maybe set up an ironic fake “Faux News” to keep him occupied. I hear there’s some thespians previously attached to the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts that might be looking for work.
Turn his arch into a dungeon like the Tower of London, and stick him in there.
Make oubliettes great again, you say? You have my attention.
he loves that thing though. we gotta tear it down after.
And make him pay for the initial demolition, the tear down, and the rebuild. And then fine him a few billion on top of it.
He won’t need the money, he’ll be in prison. So will anyone who would be inheriting it. Sorry Trump grandkids. Better get a paper route and start saving for college.
We can bury the whole thing, nice and neat. Fantastic idea.
Miller “was in favor and insisted that it wouldn’t take long for journalists to give up their sources.”
The fuck is this shit. I’m hoping people just refuse this lame duck pos and throw him in jail
