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.

    Have they never seen Schindlers list? In the first 10 mins you find out jews were complicit in their own demise. The character says "its not so bad and the pay is great".

    Yeah, I've heard that one. The answer is that PeeWee Himmler ISN'T a Nazi. None of them are. The Nazis were from the mid-20th century. In the mid-19th century, they were called Confederates. In the 21st century, they're called MAGA. It's not that these people are Nazis, it's just that all those groups draw from that same slice of society's underbelly that exists at any given time.

    These people have always existed, and after we've crushed and purged MAGA from our government and our society, they'll still be there. A healthy society recognizes this, and slaps those dipshits down as soon as they get froggy. Occasionally, a country weakens, and these people are always waiting like coiled springs, ready to spring into treasonous action. Capitalism weakened us into allowing the rise of MAGA, and once they're gone, we have to be more vigilant in the future.

    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.
