Advisers to President Donald Trump are urging him to purge the government of former President Barack Obama's political appointees and quickly install more people who are loyal to him.
A number of his advisers believe Obama officials are behind the leaks and are seeking to undermine his presidency, with just the latest example coming from reports that Attorney General Jeff Sessions met twice last year with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. and apparently misled senators about the interactions during his confirmation hearing.
That was coupled with a New York Times story that Obama appointees spread information about the investigation into the Trump campaign's contacts with Russia in an attempt to create a paper trail about the probe. Trump's aides have also blamed Obama appointees for other damaging leaks, like Trump's erratic phone calls with foreign leaders.
Inside the White House, the chatter about Obama officials in the government has heightened in recent weeks, one administration official said. And advisers are saying it is time to take action.
"His playbook should be to get rid of the Obama appointees immediately," said Newt Gingrich, a top surrogate. "There are an amazing number of decisions that are being made by appointees that are totally opposed to Trump and everything he stands for. Who do you think those people are responding to?"

“I didn’t like the snide comments about Trump in that article. “
The other thing you’ll see frequently is Republican photographs are shown with their mouths open and, typically, a stupid expression on their faces. Democrats are shown with mouths closed and looking dignified...(or, dignity optimized...some of them are ugly.) This is non-verbal propaganda. I seldom see Trump in articles with his mouth closed or with a dignified expression. These photographs are obtained by shooting a rapid series while somebody talks. Then, they take the worst of the lot and use that one.
Politico is like the National Enquirer version of the New York Times.
Trump - do not be as stupid as W was. Flush these dirtbags! NOW!!!!!
YES!!!
If Trump doesn’t purge 0bama’s appointees and loyalists from the bureaucracies he will fail. If he doesn’t do it quickly he will, as we’ve seen already, falter. Git ‘r done!
It’s kinda disturbing that Trump would even have to be ADVISED to do this.
Trump’s advisers push him to purge Obama appointees
_____________________________________________________
Because if he doesn’t can them.... the taxpayers are paying for Obama’s “shadow government.” Get rid of ALL of Obama’s people. If in doubt, throw them out! Better safe than sorry.
WOW!
Some of the dirtbags are probably people there still from Bush’s time. Notice how many Bush people criticized Trump during the campaign and now there are still Bush critics going after Trump. They have some ethics guy named Richard Painter (I think his name is) who worked for Bush going after Sessions.
AG J. Sessions should immediately UN- recuse himself.
Every new adm cleans out the former appointees. It is concerning that Trump fell into this trap. He should fire Prebius. This is a Chief of Staff problem.
PDT needs to heed that advice and do it ASAP or they will likely taken him down.
They already have one scalp. They tasted blood and want more and will not stop. That is how they operate.
The enemies are WITHIN, and some label themselves as Democrats while others label themselves as Republicans.

The latest National Enquirer has a great spread on President Trump.
Why are They still Around?
Yesterday would be a lot better than today.
This should have been done yesterday. This was a day 2 need. Purge them all. Every single one. Don’t trust a single one of them.
This is war.
EVERY odumbo appointee ought be fired and those leading anything ought be put in jail including obozo himself.
