Here's another little factoid: The vast majority of the Clinton-installed FBI operatives, Federal prosecutors, and judges are all still in place. (The only ones gone are those who left on their own.)

On 9/12/01, the current administration could have cleansed the government of this nest of vermin - whose dereliction of duty was a major cause of the terrorists being able to carry out the attack of the previous day. The Republican House could have moved to impeach the 'magnificent seven' or simply de-fund the DC court. Why on earth didn't they? Nobody except the MSM would have cared.

...Why on earth didn't they?...

The answer is an Occam's Razor kind of thing.
The simplest, most obvous answer is the truth.

Just an examples:

wail the Clintoons were in office, one day a female SS officer was making her security sweep in the WH. It was NOT denoted on the office wall that a guest was staying in a certain bed room, and thus REQUIRED the officer to go in that bedroom. She opened the door, saw two females in a 69, stepped back shutting the door quietly. But was then fired with prejudice, not now being able to even get a sub Gov job of dog catcher.It was a Hildabeast that did the deed/ This is what they think of L/E. and protecting themselves.

I believe you hit a

I've been wondering about this myself this since 9/12. Why didn't Bush just "flush" and start over?

I agree that that was a major, major political mistake by Bush, Cheney, and Rove. All those Clintonoids should have been gone the next day.

Another area where they needed to clean house was in the Civil Service. The Clintons introduced a program of Civil Service "reform" (actually, purging the older employees on the grounds -- unstated, of course, except for moments of blazing candor -- that they were too old, too male, and too white) that was actually a gimmick for politicizing the Civil Service. The Clintonoid "change agents" needed to be hunted down and exterminated -- or shipped off to a giant post office/weather station/ federal building in Nome.
