WELP: Looks like Cuccinelli isn’t going to be Acting DHS Secretary after all…

by The Right Scoop

It’s being reported tonight that Trump is not going to choose Cuccinelli to be acting DHS Secretary. Rather, he’s going to pick the Nielsen’s former Chief of Staff that we reported on a few days ago:

AXIOS – The White House is set to name Chad Wolf as acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, according to Politico and confirmed by Axios.

Wolf will succeed current acting secretary Kevin McAleenan, who ended his tenure Thursday. McAleenan stepped down earlier this month amid ongoing tensions with the White House.

Wolf is a current senior department official and was nominated by President Trump in February to serve as undersecretary for the Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans.

It sounds like it’s over based on this reporting. I hope it’s wrong.

Because if you recall, Wolf is said to be part of the swamp who is committed to stopping Trump’s agenda from within:

And yet this is who Trump chooses? Aside from Twitter, Trump’s greatest weakness as president is his hiring. He told us in 2016 that he hires the best people, but that’s clearly not been his track record.

FAIR calls Wolf an “outsourcing lobbyist”:

And lastly, Girdusky says Wolf is going to purge Trump people from DHS:

So when Trump ends up firing this guy in the future because they were butting heads too much, you’ll know he was warned beforehand not to hire him.
