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.
They literally already tried this and the courts shut it down within 24 hours.
I wonder if Trump realizes how much his low approval rating and midterm disaster is directly tied to Miller and his policies?
Trump does, it’s why he does it. Authoritarians aren’t authoritarians because of popularity contests. He wants to make the US authoritarian and it will all depend on how much police departments, the FBI, ICE, and states go along with it.
He knows, and he approves. He’s been keeping PeeWee Himmler in his back pocket since 2015, waiting for the worst case scenario, which happened last Tuesday.
As one Nazi General said, after hearing that the Red Army had fully defeated the Nazis at Stalingrad, had crossed the Volga, and we’re now marching directly for Berlin: “If they treat us half as bad as we treated them, we’re in BIG trouble.” MAGA knows that 2028 is likely to go to the Dems, and then they are ALL going to prison, or worse, so they have do whatever it takes to crush the spirit of the American people, and end elections.
PeeWee Himmler has always been Trump’s Scorched Earth General, the guy to bring in at the endgame, who will do ANYTHING to win. Trump can trust that PeeWee will gleefully murder MILLIONS of people, and frighten all of America into bowing down. Hegseth is his twin, another trustworthy psychopath who wouldnt hesitate to turn our military on our own citizens. Between the two, Trump is sure that he can beat us into submission.
He’s an ignorant, uneducated Traitor, so he doesn’t understand a basic fact about America: We are not timid peasants. Americans grow up learning in school about the exploits of our founding fathers, true revolutionaries who defeated the greatest military on Earth. We are raised to not be afraid of tyrants, and to confront them face-to-face.
He can try to turn the government against us, but there are a LOT more of us than them, and they are virtuosically incompetent. Bring it on, Weenies, we’re more than ready for you.
Dementia has destroyed what was left of his brain
Is it bcz he’s afraid they are going to arrest him in January?
“Do unto others before they do unto you” is the right wing rule. Right beside “projection” as a personality trait.
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.
Miller would be in favor of torturing the journalists. And while torture frequently leads to false information when used to fish for intelligence, when you have a specific question you know the victim can answer it’s incredibly effective.
These are American journalists, not trained military or intelligent operatives. If they are just in jail, they’ll keep quiet, but if they actually get tortured, they’ll give up their source instantly. Most would give it up at just the threat of torture.
If PeeWee Himmler actually starts torturing journalists for information, he’s gone past the point of no return, and his life is over. At some point, he will be arrested, tried, and executed, as he already deserves.
A coworker said Stephen Miller can’t be a Nazi because he is Jewish…
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”.
Yep I’ve told him that too and he just says it’s completely made up. Yet he is Mexican and fully supports ice and what they are doing to the Mexican community.
He’s a special kind of stupid.
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.
Maybe he can explain the Haavara Agreement to you then.

Your coworker needs to be shown that page.
Which, in my opinion, is the same thing as any Hispanic person working for ICE. Bet it’s the same mentality.

I will definitely send this to him but I doubt he will read it.
Print out the good bits in size 20-30 font and place on his desk
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.
Copium is a powerful drug.
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.
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?
just saying the system won’t be complicit in its own dismantling.
Stop talking durimg the porn
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
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”
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?
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.
You have to torture the names out of the journalists, that’s the fun part.
Oh look, blatantly violating the first amendment.
Oh look, blatantly violating the first amendment.
Again
Got the perfect use case for the 2nd.
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.
I heard this the other day. I think it’s a great idea. You wouldn’t even need the other stuff. Make Medicare for all Trumpcare and tell him how much better it would be than Obamacare. He’d break the pen trying to sign it so fast.
I especially like the touch of getting trump to spit in the face of his base by converting the biggest Confederate monument.
He really wants to end up in prison. We should make sure his dream comes true
arresting people who do their job because the evil shit youre doing, isnt something you want the public to know about. make that make sense in a democracy
PeeWee Himmler’s job is to bury Democracy.
in a what? we live in a system of rule by pedophilia. what the fuck is ‘democracy’?
This sounds GREAT!
-Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer!
Do it, FAFO
