      1. A few thoughts on Stephen Miller's shaky political standing in White House, which might contextualize his performance on Jake Tapper's show

      2. Miller came into White House as protege of Jeff Sessions & ally of Steve Bannon. Session: under a cloud because Trump wants him to toe line on Russia. Bannon: fired and reviled by WH

      3. Because of his ties to Bannon & Sessions, Miller is under extra pressure to prove his loyalty, as he so obsequiously (thanks @jaketapper) did.

      4. The other thing is that Wolff's book specially names Miller as source of Immigration Order screw-up:https://twitter.com/KatyTurNBC/status/949034323755323392 …

      5. In the wake of Wolff book, a whole bunch of conservatives, some quite anti-Trump, rushed in to defend Miller saying he is not dumb but, like, smart: https://twitter.com/EWErickson/status/949058587212464128 …

      Jeet Heer Retweeted Rich Lowry

      6. I've been puzzled by these defenses of Miller (that he's policy wonk & a good writer) since he's always seemed like a particularly dim-witted bigot.https://twitter.com/RichLowry/status/949107683633848320 …

      Rich LowryVerified account @RichLowry
      The idea, per Michael Wolff, that Stephen Miller has to go to the internet to research immigration and can’t write sentences is too stupid and malicious for words https://twitter.com/katyturnbc/status/949034323755323392 …

      Rich Lowry, once a Never Trumper, has shamefully become a dedicated Trump Defender, embarrassing himself and NRO on a regular basis.

      Miller knows a lot about immigration but whether he knows how to craft an executive order that can withstand judicial review is disputable.

          He knows a lot of dogma about immigration. Not necessarily the same thing as data

          Re: Miller, whether or not he's knowledgable and smart, I think you have someone whose hatred trumps everything else & impedes his ability to craft sound, constitutional legislation, much less a rollout.

          Miller is like Gorka. He thinks speaking in loud, portentous tones with odd pronunciation (less forgivable in the American-born Miller) = expertise. And please, after years of Paul Ryan being described as a "policy wonk," it's not a flattering term.

          If what you "know" is false and exists only to confirm your priors, do you "know" a lot? If I "know" a lot about why the Earth revolves around the sun, including evidence such as God made it that way, do I "know" a lot about astronomy?
