As of this writing, Lewandowski’s official number of days worked is 69. (Nice.) He has allegedly kept that number this low with workarounds such as entering buildings in large groups with other people so he doesn’t have to swipe his own security badge, and not using his government email and phone for official business. Which, last we checked, was a no-no that could get someone's presidential campaign tanked through a bullshit public allegation from the FBI Director.
No one is likely surprised by these grasping efforts. Lewandowski has been hanging around TrumpWorld for years, lingering and resisting attempts to get rid of him like herpes with a particularly strong resistance to Valtrex. Still, it has White House officials upset enough to supposedly start closely monitoring the time he spends at work.
Lewandowski has been allegedly “wielding outsized influence” at DHS, which is code for saying that he’s been throwing his weight around and alienating anyone who comes within a hundred yards of his weird, square head. So it would make sense for a few of his enemies to anonymously leak some hot gossip like this to Axios if they are desperate enough. Rumors yr Wonkette has heard are that no one in the administration wants to work with the guy at all because he’s such a huge piece of trash, so this would be one way to try and get rid of him.
It could also be a shot across the bow, warning Lewandowski and maybe Noem that there is more that could be made public if he doesn’t get the fuck out already. But like we said, you’re not getting rid of herpes that easily.
The Lewandowski mess is not the only Noem-related grotesqueness that popped up recently. On Friday, an anonymous official leaked to The Washington Post that the DHS Secretary recently moved into a “spacious waterfront residence at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling” that is usually reserved for the Coast Guard commandant. Unfortunately, the Coast Guard doesn’t have a commandant right now because the Trump administration fired the last one for the crime of being a woman in a high-level military job. So, the space was available.
