Ah yes, the anonymous "principled big wig" (my emphasis added) who was in his job as Chief of Staff for a whopping two months.  What he did at DHS before then I do not know but you can be sure it wasn't a higher level position.

All,

Effective today, I have handed off my official duties as DHS Chief of Staff. For the time being, please ensure you include Patrick Flanagan on any communications you would have sent to me, and/or Deputy Chiefs of Staff Brandon Wales and Sam Kaplan. DHS is in great hands under the stewardship of Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan, and I urge you to give him your full support.

It has been an honor to serve. I am personally grateful to former Secretary John Kelly, Acting Secretary Elaine Duke, and Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen for their leadership and for the opportunity they gave me to advance the Department’s agenda at home and abroad. The past two years have been — without a doubt — the most productive in DHS history. Together, we’ve made historic strides in defending our networks, thwarting terrorist plotting, blocking foreign interference in our democracy, countering emerging threats, responding to natural disasters, securing our borders, and so much more. The American people and our great nation are markedly safer as a result. I could not be more proud to have worked alongside you as we reached these new milestones.

Thank you all for your support, collegiately, friendship, and public service over the past two years. I look forward to remaining in touch. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can ever be of assistance.

God bless America,

M

Miles Taylor
Chief of Staff
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
