https://www.thedailybeast.com/petty-white-house-feuding-about-leaks-exposed-in-leaked-email/White House spokeperson Liz Huston told Politico in a statement, There are hundreds of White House staffers faithfully serving the American people, all of whom are held to strict policiesincluding a zero-tolerance policy against speaking to the media without explicit authorization from the Communications Officeto ensure the Presidents message is communicated clearly, accurately, and directly to the American people.
Wiles generated a flurry of headlines late last year when Vanity Fair published an interview in which she criticized a host of top administration officials, including the president and his alcoholics personality. All that buzz, apparently, was acceptable.
Wiles, who was honored Thursday with the Independent Womens Forums Barbara K. Olson Woman of Valor Award, was asked how she communicates with the press, if at all. Wiles said she became more cautious about the process since becoming chief of staff.
And if I do, I get in trouble at the White House, she said. I have a couple of friends in the reporter ranks, but we keep it to friendship.

(24,106 posts)3. Agreed. I had to look a little further into it. She got it for being the "first female White House Chief of Staff."
Anyone propping up Needy Amin, in my book anyway, isn't exhibiting "valor."
Then again, America "awarded" Trump with a second term, so standards no longer apply.

America loves child rapists, traitors, criminals, psychopaths.

Barbara Olson was a right-wing hack who promoted every Republican disaster. Tragically, she died on 9/11 on the plane in Pennsylvania. Her husband/widower is Ted Olson, another right-wing lawyer/nut-case.
Susie Wiles is a disgusting piece of shit who defends and protects a rapist criminal.
