The problem stems from Obama moving political appointees into SES positions prior to the inauguration so they could not be asked for resignations and the placing career Civil Service (loyals) into the vacated positions as “ Acting Deputies”. Congress is then slow rolling Trump Appointees and even when approved, the career CS employees will return to their full time position (which they hold while acting in the other position).
The political activists are not hired IAW properly filled positions as SES.
Also remember, POTUS inherited over 5-7000 security clearance requests that had not been investigated. These personnel (reported to be as many as 5000) are the people in question at SES.
POTUS inherits the enemy by not accepting their resignations (since they were not in appointed positions) after inauguration. These people are DS or Political Hacks. Can you imagine becoming CEO of a company that just hired 10-14000 people sworn to your destruction and destruction of your company and filling ALL of your top two tiered positions in every branch of the company?
This is only part of what POTUS is trying to right!
MAGA!
Another actress comes out in support of Trump. I checked her Twitter, she’s never posted.
I have responded to this before. I have been here a long time, but picking on SES people because they have a skill that is needed, and not available to .gov, show how little you know.
How many do you know?
Every single SES I know is pro-trump to the death.
You talk madness, because you dont know krap.
If I could keep my cost of living where I live and move to DC to help Trump as an SES, I would do so tomorrow.
If you dont know what the hell,you are talking about, shut the heck up.
Thanks, Billyv. That is what I thought and was my speculation! We’ll see how it all shakes out. I’d forgotten I was counting it as a possible boom.
NDAA also includes this - note that the SES is specified. Basically strips security clearance if convicted of crime(s).
SEC. 542. Security clearance reinvestigation of certain personnel who commit certain offenses.
Section 1564 of title 10, United States Code, is amended
(1) by redesignating subsections (c), (d), (e), and (f) as subsection (d), (e), (f), and (g), respectively; and
(2) by inserting after subsection (b) the following new subsection (c):
(c) Reinvestigation or readjudication of certain individuals. (1) The Secretary of Defense shall conduct an investigation or adjudication under subsection (a) of any individual described in paragraph (2) upon
(A) conviction of that individual by a court of competent jurisdiction for
(i) sexual assault;
(ii) sexual harassment;
(iii) fraud against the United States; or
(iv) any other violation that the Secretary determines renders that individual susceptible to blackmail or raises serious concern regarding the ability of that individual to hold a security clearance; or
(B) determination by a commanding officer that that individual has committed an offense described in subparagraph (A).
(2) An individual described in this paragraph in an individual who has a security clearance and is
(A) a flag officer;
(B) a general officer; or
(C) an employee of the Department of Defense in the Senior Executive Service.
Exactly. We do gotta pay the good people, don’t we?
I’m not recalling details, but I am wanting to say that some of the head people of the SES have actually gone on record as being in favor of somehow weaponizing the SES against Trump and by extension - all of us. But my memory on that may be both fuzzy and faulty.
I’m willing to bet the ongoing functioning of the SES is a very important ace card held by the deep state.
very valuable post, BILLY!!!!
Future (and current) historians will reference your work!
LS, back me up here?! Awesome work, Swordmaker!
Enough black hats in SES to thwart MAGA if they’re allowed to continue.
Kevin Shipp has portrayed SES as a major part of the shadow government. Abuse of power, unaccountable, everything opposed to American liberty.

Ahhhhhhhhh the bells of memory are now clanging!
It wasn’t a deep stater being caught about plans for the SES, but rather a whistle blower. Thanks.
I certainly appreciate your fire.
Now most of us know something is wrong, wrong ,wrong can you help some of us with some reassurance,
I can’t began to figure 50,000 indictment’s, the housing alone is a big deal.
My grandmother had brain cancer and was gone inside of six months. Of course that was many years ago.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I’m sorry for that early loss you had. That form of cancer, I understand, can be rapid. I am so curious as to what really is happening/happened with him.
see #961 and tell us if you disagree with those facts.
and, you tell us that you don’t live near DC - well, that’s where we believe the Swampers live and work - so the good SES people you know aren’t the ones we’re concerned with.
AND, “If you dont know what the hell you are talking about, shut the heck up” is not acceptable around here. Best to apologize.
link/references?
Thank you for shining a bright light in your summary of how we got where we are today wrt the SES.
My pleasure. This Shipp video showed up on FR some months ago:
