Trump team causes tizzy with personnel inquiries to Obama agencies
Faux Nooze Almost Fake News ^ | December 29, 2016 | Joseph Webber

Posted on 12/29/2016 9:32:24 AM PST by Navy Patriot

Inquiries from Donald Trump’s transition team to federal agencies about their work on hot-button issues like climate change and 'violent extremism' -- and about the staffers involved -- have spurred questions over what the incoming administration has planned for those programs.

His team, in the roughly seven weeks since the election, has posed such questions to the departments of Energy, State and Homeland Security.

Critics of President-elect Trump have suggested the inquiries are a sign his administration intends to gut key programs and punish the staffers involved. Republican defenders, though, say these concerns are overblown.

Obama's federal Bureaucrats (AKA American Traitors) have only 22 days to secure their Federal Pardon or be in a no extradition treaty foreign nation.

When you weaponize the federal bureaucracy but your opponents win anyway, you ought not be surprised when things get uncomfortable for the bureaucrats.

Worthless bureaucrats display outrage that their new boss actually works at his job.

Trump needs to send in “The Bobs” to every single Federal agency.

“Just what is it that you do here”

The heads of all these services, bureaus, agencies and departments will all be replaced and they will have to sing to a different tune come January 21, 2017.

When I read the words “cutting programs” and “punishing staffers” I felt a warm fuzzy feeling coming over me.

The transition team needs to look at the political appointes that were converted to regular status post election. Consider them Obama embeds.

The radical left attacks Pres/elect Trump for being a racist because he plans on controlling Muslim immigration into this country. According to the cockamamie thinking of the left, any President who does his constitutional duty by protecting the nation from Muslim butchers is a racist.

IT'S ALREADY STARTED IN AMERICA--Obama stooge, DHS Secy 'Jeh' Johnson fatuously stating that Muslim immigrants have been successfully assimilated into American society.

-Back in October 2011 one of the most astute lawmen in Washington, Cong Louis Gohmert (Repub-TX), a former judge, questioned then-DHS Secy Janet Napolitano about Mohamed Elibiary, a member of the Department of Homeland Security Council (DHS) with a high level security clearance.

Elibiary allegedly accessed, illegally, from his home computer, a Texas State and Local Intelligence Community database.....(Elibiary was ousted from the Homeland Security Advisory Council for shady activities---and settled in Texas).

Napolitano managed to unglue her lips from Obama's behind---and told Cong Gohmert she knew nothing about it, and that she would "personally" do the investigation. (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

=========================================================

Obama gave 5 MILLION federal hires Obama top security clearance.

======================================================

The following have top US security clearance

Arif Alikhan, assistant secretary of Homeland Security for policy development;

Mohammed Elibiary, a member of the Homeland Security
Advisory Council (ousted for using his home computer
to tap into a Texas State and Local Intelligence Community database
;

Rashad Hussain, the U.S. special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference;

Salam al-Marayati, co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC);

Imam Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA);

Eboo Patel, a member of President Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships.

==================================================

Estimates range from several thousand to approximately eight million Islamic fighters inside the United States as we type. The exact number is unknown. Several thousand could create havoc if a coordinated attack was to occur. keep in mind, on 9/11, just 19 Islamic fighters and hijackers killed almost three thousand people. One has to believe the worst case scenario----that nearly eight million are already here....and being welcomed by Obama.

========================================================

Cong Michelle Bachman says the FBI told her Americans who joined ISIS are allowed back in the US.

===============================================

From his keyboard to God's monitor. These fascist traitors need to be driven from government service.

Trump did state several weeks back that the federal workforce needed to start with a one third trimming.
I guess this means that a lot of Obama’s many bureaucrats will be drawing unemployment.

(For some reason, I perceive that these bureaucrats have watched a certain TV series where the boss says, “You’re fired!” ... and then actually follows thru!)

President Trump (I like the ring of that) has the ability to wipe out entire executive agencies, and send all of those bureaucrat trolls packing.

So there’s plenty of executive branch alphabet soup agencies that are scared shitless right now. They need to be.

Hopefully, President Trump (nice ring to that) is going to swing the axe far and wide, and start chopping out all of the dead weight.
