BREAKING: Stephen Miller ACCIDENTALLY spills Donald Trump's secret plans to seize absolute power like Hitler and Mussolini while on live television — and then freezes up as soon as he realizes it.

He just let the armband-wearing, goose stepping cat out of the bag...

"Well the administration filed an appeal this morning with the Ninth Circuit. I would note the administration won an identical case in the Ninth Circuit just a few months ago with respect to the federalizing of the California National Guard," said Miller.

"Under Title 10 of the U.S. Code, the president has plenary authority, has—" continued Miller before stopping abruptly. It appeared that he suddenly realized that he should stop talking, or someone in his earpiece urged him to stop.

"Stephen? Stephen? Hey Stephen, can you hear me?" asked CNN Boris Sanchez after Miller froze up.......

Alarmingly, CNN's upload of the segment to Youtube appears to have edited out the part where Miller lets the "plenary authority" bit slip. Even so, the stunning moment has spread like wildfire, with many describing Miller's behavior as him "glitching out." Others described it differently...

“Stephen Miller absolutely did not have a glitch on live TV. He had an ‘Oh sh-t’ moment where he said something that he f-cking was not supposed to say," observed one TikTok user about the viral incident.

According to Cornell University’s Legal Information Institute, "plenary authority" is "power that is wide-ranging, broadly construed, and often limitless for all practical purposes." In other words, Miller was referring to the powers of a dictator.

"Plenary authority, with its sweeping, unchecked assumption of power, has previously been compared to the powers to rule by decree forced through by the governments of dictators, including Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler," reported Harry Cockburn for Newsweek.
