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.

Note to the Federal Bureaucrats. You work FOR the President. Something both you, and the Fake Media, seem to forget.

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


Yes: we know zero wasn’t arming his bureacrats to support the firearms industry. Who decided who needed guns and why?

This to me is proof that those letter were never sent to be answered. He knew they would never reply, as I am sure this is likely a technique he uses when trying to acquire a company and dealing with bureaucrats.

Send a letter asking about a sensitive subject and sit back and watch who yells the loudest about it! Then focus your efforts on them!

Many if not all of these worthless pos’s have left an electronic trail of their criminal activities or ?!

If Google can’t find those digital trails, Trump will have enough former NSA people to track down their criminal or anti American activities.

As you noted, it may be time for many of them to go a no extradition treaty foreign nation. Those nations will welcome them until their money runs out.

tart with a one third trimming.


Thanks, that’s the figure I’ve been searching for.

That’s ~650K bureacrats whose houses are going on the market, and I guess 500K in DC. Then add the 100K or so lobbyists, consultant groups, zero/HRC groupies in general, and we’re looking at 3/4 million destitute Leftists X4 when you count their families; the nascent City-States can’t absorb 1/10 of their numbers.

Let that sink in for a sec. THREE million leftists, out in the cold, just like that.

LOL, the casting of that film, not to mention the writing, was brilliant.

“When you weaponize the federal bureaucracy...”

That they did, and all the bureaucrats played the dedicated civil servants, making believe they were good little boys and girls working for the benefit of the people.

One hopes that they scatter like cockroaches when their actions and antics are brought to light.

IMHO

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Well, that certifies this as fake news, as well as the references to the LA Slimes in paragraph #9 and Reuters in paragraph #19.

Critics of President-elect Trump have suggested the inquiries are a sign his administration intends to gut key programs and punish the staffers involved.

So, what?! The President-elect's transition team has every right to inquire. And the new President not only has every right but is obligated to shut down illegal programs and punish staffers conducting them.

If this is a sign it's a great sign!

every political appointment that was moved to staff with in the last 9 months and word the directive to do it that way across the board so that when they protest all he way up to the supreme court witch they will do Trump can rightfully have the supreme court rulings on his side. then move through the agencies looking for any use of the agency as a weapon against political opponent and fire all agents that were involved that are not cooperative with giving evidence to the politicization of the agency.
