TPM - oh oh! "Stephen Miller May Have Some Problems"
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/stephen-miller-may-have-some-problems#more-1095027By JOSH MARSHALL Published NOVEMBER 10, 2017 10:33 PM
Fascinating piece here in the Times applying some Times level sleuthing to shed more light on those Papadopoulos court documents from last week. We get some idea of the backstory of Joseph Mifsud, apparently a failing and shambling academic career that was on its final skid when Russians showed up in 2014 with money and newfound respectability, an old story. Other gaps of the story are filled in. But the big one is Stephen Miller.
According to the Times, Miller is the “senior policy advisor” referenced in the Papadopoulos court documents. He was the only unnamed player still unidentified. This means that Miller was one of the top Trump advisors Papadopoulos was keeping posted on his efforts to set up meetings between Russian officials and Trump campaign officials, perhaps even (preposterous as it may seem) a meeting between Trump and Putin himself.
One noteworthy paragraph from the Times …
The day before he learned about the hacked emails, Mr. Papadopoulos emailed Mr. Miller, then a senior policy adviser to the campaign, saying Mr. Trump had an “open invitation” from Mr. Putin to visit Russia. The day after, he wrote Mr. Miller that he had “some interesting messages coming in from Moscow about a trip when the time is right.”
This revelation is important for at least three reasons.
First: The most mundane is that Miller was at the highest level of Trump’s campaign advisors and remained in at least as high a role into the White House and up until today. He is within the innermost circle.

One of the most punchable faces in the history of punchable faces
but I suppose I could rearrange his vapid face enough with a 2 x 4 to suit my liking. He's the kid everyone beat on as a kid, because he was such an ass-kissing, tattle-tail weenie. 
never be. He is just too vapid, soulless, and repulsive.

Welcome to DU, Iahotdog! We're glad to have you with us! 
I'm afraid they may have more than looks in common. I had to post a pic when I read your post and I agree their looks are creepily similar, especially the dead eyes.
And another welcome to DU and thanks for the awesome initial post! I just had to find a pic with a similar expression that had a link that worked.
