Whistleblower exposes how unlawfully appointed DHS deputy Ken Cuccinelli is just as bad as his boss

Unlawfully appointed acting Department of Homeland Security Sec. Chad Wolf isn’t the only corrupt agency official named in a whistleblower’s explosive complaint this week alleging he was ordered to undermine U.S. intelligence findings. Former DHS official Brian Murphy also said that Ken Cuccinelli, Unlawful Chad’s acting deputy, ordered the reassignment or firing of analysts who produced reports he felt contradicted impeached president Donald Trump’s anti-asylum policies.

”Mr. Murphy defended the work in the reports,” the complaint states, “but Mr. Cuccinelli stated he wanted changes to the information outlining high levels of corruption, violence, and poor economic conditions in the three respective [Central American] countries.” You know, the kind of stuff that causes parents and their children to flee for their lives to the southern border, where Unlawful Chad and Ken are helping Trump illegally block them from asylum.

Murphy, a former official with the department's Office of Intelligence and Analysis, said that Ken launched into some rant on Trump’s usual “deep state” bullshit when confronted with facts and figures, and then proceeded to demand he name the analysts who helped produce the reports.

“Mr. Cuccinelli expressed frustration with the intelligence reports, and he accused unknown ‘deep state intelligence analysts’ of compiling the intelligence information to undermine President Donald J. Trump’s (‘President Trump’) policy objectives with respect to asylum,” the complaint continued. When Murphy replied the reports were consistent with past findings, Ken then demanded he “identify the names of the ‘deep state’ individuals who compiled the intelligence reports and to either fire or reassign them immediately.”
