I want people who know how to run government put one together. I would never want some one like myself who has no experience trying to do this try and figure out who should be working at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. unfortunaly that means you need these individuals who have been in government to evaluate everyone chosen to be at the white house working for Trump. its trumps job to make sure that they are not letting lobbyist control the process.
Yes, by necessity the knowledge of folks who are familiar with protocol may have a few warts in their past. But if nothing else, Trump is also a fair person, willing to give some a second chance at redemption.
This process may well discover a few rotten apples in it eventually -- as they all do -- but there will be a multi-layered system to filter the trash, dependent on loyalty and honor.
