Exclusive: Trump's "Deep State" Hit List
Axios ^ | February 24, 2020

Posted on 02/23/2020 6:48:09 PM PST by Helicondelta

The Trump White House and its allies, over the past 18 months, assembled detailed lists of disloyal government officials to oust — and trusted pro-Trump people to replace them — according to more than a dozen sources familiar with the effort who spoke to Axios.

By the time President Trump instructed his 29-year-old former body man and new head of presidential personnel to rid his government of anti-Trump officials, he'd gathered reams of material to support his suspicions.

A well-connected network of conservative activists with close ties to Trump and top administration officials is quietly helping develop these "Never Trump"/pro-Trump lists, and some sent memos to Trump to shape his views, per sources with direct knowledge.

Since Trump's Senate acquittal, aides say the president has crossed a psychological line regarding what he calls the "Deep State." He feels his government — from Justice to State to Defense to Homeland Security — is filled with "snakes." He wants them fired and replaced ASAP.

I asked him to do that on January 20, 2017. He didn’t for some reason.

Axios is COMCAST.

And President Trump called Comcast out at his last rally.

PDJT HAS EVERY RIGHT TO WANT TO REPLACE THE “SNAKES” THAT ARE SUPPOSEDLY WORKING FOR HIM.

I HOPE AND PRAY THE LIST IS LONG!

Success will be that everyone on these lists is fired, clearances revoked, and where possible, charged, tried, convicted, and jailed.

” if they’re civil service and can’t be easily fired, post them to the newly established Federal “Spy Hunter” listening and watching post in Diomede, Alaska where they can keep watch for Russian spies trying to kayak across the Bering Sea from Naukan, Russia ...”

Build a new “Unified Government Services Station” on Midway or Wake Island. Midway has a long runway so planes can land there easily. It has run-down buildings that could be easily renovated. Give them a desk with no telephone. Don’t install internet. Require them to be at work doing nothing until they quit.

If anyone knows about “Deep State” snakes, it would be “Axios”. If anyone talks to them, it is to give them positive Trump information that will undercut whatever leftist crap Axios gets from the Left.

Played like a fiddle, sounds like a “gotcha” musical.

Why be”surprised?”

Ginni is very connected and attends meetings, lunches,etc. where she is in proximity to hear conversations, wherein people in positions of a certain amount of power, feel free to let down their hair re their disdain for the President but most especially, his agenda and their desire to squash any and all plans.

I do know for a fact, some people who were anxious to support the newly-elected President, were directed to a certain person in the office of personnel, who promptly moved the file of qualified and definitely loyal would-be future employee(s), to move other persons, definitely disloyal to the new President and outspoken on the desire to shut down the President’s agenda!

I have been stunned upon hearing certain hires, knowing they were well-known anti and never-Trumpers and have been puzzled at why some folks were ever interviewed, much less hired - now I know for sure, it was all apart of the plan to destroy Trump and how high it went up!

Bbbbut, but, everyone tells us that Barr is just the greatest guy in the world, and echo Bagpipe's assertion that the Department of Injustice and it's Gestapo arm, the FBI, is filled with "wonderful men and women."

I know someone who had a similar role in an earlier administration at the department level.

Not exactly a pool of available people other than GOPe Swampers like Ryan and Fleabus.

Their people/staffers fill the Swamp not Trump supporters.

95% of D.C. are Rat leftists. Most of the rest are lobbyists.
They are there to feed off the land.
