WaPo- "The latest Stephen Miller revelations require a tougher Democratic response"

"When are Democrats going to try to summon Stephen Miller to Capitol Hill and grill him under oath about his direct role in so much of the chaos, incompetence and increasingly malevolent extremism gripping the Trump administration right now?

Miller, as the chief architect of President Trump’s immigration agenda, is a key figure behind Trump’s ongoing purge of the Department of Homeland Security and the president’s related embrace of ever-more cruel and radical policies. Miller’s views drew fresh scrutiny when Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) tweeted that Miller is a “white nationalist” whose “influence on policy and political appointments” remains an “outrage.”

But, while Miller’s worldview has obviously been important in shaping Trump’s policies, his influence should be understood in another way, too: He is one of the leading figures pushing the Trump administration toward increasing venality, corruption and lawlessness.

Remarkable new revelations underscore this point — and the need for a tough Democratic reaction to it."

have been the architects behind this evil administration since tRump's campaign began. Bannon is gone from the White House and on to international skullduggery. It is time to go full court on Miller. He is another piece of scum that needs to be ousted ASAP.

Is that good or bad? The wealth accumulated under the banner of Religion and the sexual corruption of the Priesthood makes me wonder if that is a bad thing. Then he could go after the Mormon Church, TV Preachers and Mega Churches. Clean them all up.
