WH released fake DHS terrorism analysis that had no input from DHS and was written by Jeff Sessions.

Working off the 549 federal international-terrorism convictions tallied by the Justice Department, the document stated: “An analysis conducted by DHS determined that approximately 73 percent (402 of these 549 individuals) were foreign-born.”

But the Department of Homeland Security did not perform that analysis. DHS’ analysts did not contribute to the highly controversial report, The Daily Beast has learned.

According to a government source familiar with the episode, Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ office took charge of the report’s assemblage of statistics—which some terrorism analysts consider highly misleading—and sent it to DHS Secretary Kirstjen M. Nielsen for her imprimatur after it was all but finalized.

...

The result was that the document released last week did not include the contributions of those career DHS officials tasked with providing professional and objective analysis. They were not asked to participate, and so the document did not reflect their input. The Justice Department took the lead on the report, as its public rollout indicated, complete with a senior Justice official conducting a White House press briefing – without a DHS counterpart.

6. These guys can only ASPIRE to Baby Bush levels of authoritarian competence

The Bushies could at least fool a fair number of people outside of their base, and even if they couldn't convince the rest of us to be scared of the boogey men they created, a lot of us were afraid of them.

These guys are a half step above morons who can't even think of something funny to say to vandalize a rest room, so they just smear their feces on the wall.
