The fact that there are so many holdover political appointees still on the job is something of a mystery. They all serve at the pleasure of the President and could be removed immediately.

Damn it, how many of these “it’s time to get rid of these holdover traitors” moments are we going to have before it starts happening. So this story drops to AP days before the new EO. When is Trump’s team going to go after these bastards?

It's hard to clean house until the Secretaries are comfirmed. One can't help but suspect that one reason for stalling the confirmations is so the traitors can do as much damage as possible before they're removed.

That's my crazy conspiracy theory, and I'm sticking with it!
