With that in mind, is it possible that some of these ‘questionable’ appointments are those that were bullied on threat of losing their job and \future\ employment prospects?
Janette Nesheiwat comes to mind.

Not one easily persuaded by excuses such as this but The Swamp, like cocaine, ‘is a hell of a drug’.

There's no telling. But surely there are some out there who have no fear of bullies or threats (or, have the means with which to retaliate against the aforesaid threats). Otherwise, it would turn into S.O.S.D.D. If that were to come to pass, what was the point of the landslide>? Faith tells me, though, that it won't come to that. Am staying frosty and vigilant, as was advised not long ago.
