Former DHS Official Who Disavowed Trump Claims Retaliation Campaign Has Already Begun

Miles Taylor, the former Trump administration official who on Monday renounced his former boss as “dangerously chaotic” while endorsing Democratic nominee Joe Biden for president, now claims his former colleagues are digging up dirt on him for criticizing President Donald Trump.

Appearing on CNN’s The Lead Tuesday afternoon, the former Department of Homeland Security official told host Jake Tapper that because of his public rebuke of the president, the White House had instructed staffers to look into his past for damaging information that could be used to discredit his damning account of working in Trump’s executive branch.

Asked about Trump’s willingness to exploit the power of his office, Taylor offered the alleged character assassination directive as an example.

“I just got word within the past hour that a White House liaison employee at the department has been directed to go around to dig up dirt on me. Now, look, I’m fine with that. I can handle it,” Taylor said.

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

Vestal virginia - ain't got a bad thought in ya - you're a bastard
Mean as a killer - instinct that's within ya - you're a bastard.
Laughs like a drain and it messes up my brain
Cos you know I like the pain of never knowing
Space cow I'll chew the bad blood running through ya
Kiss you as you hit the floor 'cos you don't even know that you're a bastard

There's a crisis in the kitchen
But that don't stop you bitchin' - you're a bastard
You got that yellowjacket touch,
With the stings that hurt so much - you're such a bastard
Flirting in the shadows, aiming all those little arrows,
You're as shallow as the gallows you got me in to. (yeah)
Voodoo dolls gonna line the room, handcuffs glinting in the gloom,
One day you'll find that hidden door, inside everyone screams that you're a bastard.
(you're such a)

You twist me til I'm lame, then you spin the coin again - you're such a bastard
You're so naturally perverse, you ain't even gotta rehearse -you're such a bastard
Fly like a witch, without running in some pitch
Why don't you break the switch that takes me over
My prison is your brain, your prisoner's insane
Forgot all the keys, you can break the chains
But you don't even take the blame you bastard

I don't know how they live with themselves. I really hope there is a hell and I hope they burn in it.
