I have no idea if they can fire all these people but this is a fifth column.
Now, opinion only: Who saw "Charlie Wilson's War?" What do you want to bet that the majority of the "staffers" look like Charlie's staffers and/or are homosexuals? I never put much stock in the homosexual mafia angle of DC, but after this, I need to re-think.
I would say that that is indicative of the number of hold-overs from previous administrations and Libs/Leftists infiltrating/imbedding themselves in the Republicans’ offices.
It is rather suggestive that almost none of this came to light until President Trump began claiming that Team Obama had ‘wiretapped’ him.
Quote from article... wow... Just WOW!!!
“The staffers claim their walkout is not necessarily in solidarity with Chaffetz, but more a pre-emptive move because they strongly suspect Trey Gowdy will make changes, or fire a lot of senior staff. The top staffers of the committee are David Rapallo and Susanne Sachsman, both Democrats, who each are paid $172,000 in salary. Of the entire committee staff of ninety, only two junior members are registered Republican: Alexander Miehls, and Michael Ding.”
I think its more likely many of these are just Chávetz’s sycophants & “hangers on” from Utah. More cronyism on display then anything else. Gowdy simply has no use for them so a new “broom sweeps clean”. Besides Gowdy being a politician probably has his “own crowd” that wants jobs!
Fire them ALL, well except for 2 of them.
Per:
http://congressional-staff.insidegov.com/l/19714/David-P-Rapallo
David P Rapallo
Democratic Staff Director, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
David P Rapallo, a current staffer, earned an estimated salary of $172,500 USD as a Democratic Staff Director through the most recent House pay period. This was 2 times greater than the median for a House committee staff.
Rapallo has been employed in Congress since at least Q3 ‘09 (employment information is not available prior to ‘Q3 2009 for House staffers and ‘Q3 2011 for Senate staffers, so Rapallo’s actual start date may be earlier), and has also been a staffer for House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Note: Staffer earnings - and by extension office medians - may appear lower than expected if a staffer began or left work in the middle of a fiscal period or has worked less than a full year. A staffer is designated as current if they are listed as working in the most recent House pay period to be published (Jan. 1, 2016 - Mar. 31, 2016).
Susanne E Sachsman
Democratic Deputy Staff Director Chief Counsel, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
Susanne E Sachsman, a current staffer, earned an estimated salary of $172,500 USD as a Democratic Deputy Staff Director Chief Counsel through the most recent House pay period. This was 2 times greater than the median for a House committee staff.
Sachsman has been employed in Congress since Q1 ‘11, and has also been a staffer for Committee on Benghazi.
Please note the last statement... also been a staffer for Committee on Benghazi.
The IT guys in the House criminal probe could read these members’ emails The Awans and their associates collected $5 million from congressional offices.

I have said it for a long time. The “progressive” deep state dominates Washington D.C. in all the behind the scenes ways including all the behind the scenes positions working for Congress - in both major parties.
However, a Conservative in Congress with true Conservative principles - as opposed to just mouthing Conservative positions just to get elected - should not and would not be fooled by the Leftists in their midst. Unfortunately such Conservatives in the GOP are a minority.
Holy cow.
“Many of the staffers leaving have ties to Chaffetz and are in fact fellow alumni of Brigham Young University. Many on the Hill refer to the large number of BYU alumni serving in federal government as the “Mormon mafia.”
Well, looky where the swamp-dwellers came from!
I think I mentioned many years ago, both the Democrats and Republicans were riding in the same limousine. This became inordinately clear long ago. Just look at the damage done in every direction over the past 2 decades or so.
And did anyone notice that Obama couldn’t successfully negotiate with anyone but the Republicans?
Pass along to the Trump administration to end funding these anti-American ‘faith-based’ charities. I owe Rome nothing, and I resent to ‘high’ heaven being forced to fund their charities.
OMG. We don't get anything done in Congress because our people are not only spineless but they're stupid and lazy to boot. Are they nuts?
It's bad enough the only questions 'the press' ask are ones fed to them by Democrat War Room Professionals, but now OUR guys are played for fools too?
It's over - time to start electing a new type of Republican...
Uniparty repub leadership is totally fine with it. They are uniparty. Doesnt bother them.
The Deep State probably has a thorough dossier on all elected politicians — including fake info, if the real info is not sufficient for blackmail and scandal.
To understand this you have to know who is lining their pockets:
