Well, it looks like President Trump is doing a little spring cleaning—except this time, it’s aimed squarely at some familiar names who thought they could cash in on betrayal and sanctimony.
Enter Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs, two former Trump administration officials who somehow mistook their government jobs for personal PR platforms. Now, thanks to a pair of executive orders, they’re not only being investigated but also getting their security clearances yanked. Cue the collective pearl-clutching from the mainstream media.
Let’s start with Miles Taylor, the self-appointed Resistance Warrior who once proudly hid behind the moniker “Anonymous” while pretending to be some high-ranking whistleblower saving the republic from within. Spoiler alert: he wasn’t a cabinet member or even senior policy staff—he was a glorified paper-pusher who somehow convinced The New York Times to give him an op-ed column.
The man made a career out of pretending he was deep-throat reincarnated, all while pushing a book filled with conveniently unverifiable stories. He wasn’t “speaking truth to power.” He was building a brand. And now that the brand is finally being called to account, he’s acting like freedom itself is under attack.
Taylor’s response to being under investigation? “We’re headed down a dark path.” That’s rich coming from the guy who admitted he was part of a coordinated effort to undermine the president from within while still cashing a federal paycheck. What’s truly dark is the idea that unelected bureaucrats can openly defy the chain of command and then run to CNN as soon as they land a book deal. Dissent isn’t unlawful, he says—but leaking classified information for personal gain? Yeah, that is a problem.
I said this would happen.
Dissent isn’t unlawful. It certainly isn’t treasonous. America is headed down a dark path.
Never has a man so inelegantly proved another man’s point.

Then there’s Chris Krebs, the cybersecurity guru who took it upon himself to declare the 2020 election the “most secure in American history,” as if the phrase would magically stop anyone from asking questions. Krebs didn’t just do his job—he overstepped it, turning CISA into a partisan messaging platform. He actively worked to suppress legitimate debate over election integrity, all while helping big tech collude with government to silence stories they didn’t like—remember that little Hunter Biden laptop story? Yeah, the one that got “debunked” just long enough to swing an election, only for it to suddenly become credible a year later. Krebs was part of the apparatus that made sure inconvenient truths never saw the light of day.
But of course, now he’s being painted as a victim of political retribution, as if Trump decided to target him just for fun. The reality? When you use your position in government to play politics, especially against the administration you work for, you don’t get to cry foul when the government finally holds you accountable. This is not a banana republic. This is what happens when accountability returns to Washington.
Both Taylor and Krebs are being held to the same standards Democrats have claimed to uphold for years. But as usual, accountability is only good when it’s aimed at Republicans. The minute their own are in the hot seat, suddenly we’re descending into authoritarianism. Spare us. These men aren’t martyrs. They’re cautionary tales about what happens when ego, ambition, and ideology take precedence over duty.
Remember the “Anonymous” leaker in the Trump White House?
They wrote a book called “Warning” full of lies and info from the White House.
His name was Miles Taylor.

And let’s be clear: removing security clearances from former officials who abused their positions isn’t just fair—it’s necessary. It sends a message that your loyalty is to the Constitution and your office, not your next book deal or MSNBC contract. President Trump is reminding the Beltway class that betrayal has a shelf life—and it’s about time.
