"Johnny DeStefano But it won’t get fixed and, in fact, more anonymous opponents will continue to be installed to work against Trump behind the scenes, as long as President Trump retains Johnny DeStefano. DeStefano is a former aide to ousted House Speaker John Boehner, initially named personnel director by establishment kingpin Reince Priebus, who got a promotion and reportedly still retains authority over the Presidential Personnel Office (PPO). By all reports, DeStefano is a terrific guy whom Trump likes personally but has nevertheless arguably overseen a vast effort to place Bush administration veterans and establishment moderates throughout the Federal Government.

I don't follow or care about the White House personality issues, but anything which distracts our President from carrying forward his agenda needs to be dealt with smartly.
1) Hiring Obongo or Bushy holdovers seems like a bad idea.
2) I don't recall a US Senator who has been worth a damn near the White House since Harry Truman. Quit hiring them (Sessions, Coats), present or past!
3) If you want to drain the swamp start by hiring qualified folks from well away form the District of Corruption who have never worked there before. The BosWash Corridor is teeming with folks who are hostile to MAGA.
