Federal employees are working closely with former Obama administration officials to thwart future President Donald Trump’s policies and initiatives, according to a report published by The Washington Post.

Federal workers regularly consult with Obama-era political appointees about ways they can push back and potentially stymie Trump’s initiatives, according to the report.

Dozens of federal workers attended a support group last weekend for civil servants seeking a place to hash out their issues with the Trump administration. Nearly 200 or more federal employees, many of whom worked for the Obama administration, have signed up for workshops meant to train

My mother was a postal employee when they first struck to unionize.

She crossed the picket lines because she feared a unionized civil service.

At the time, the money seemed more important but I now know that she was correct.

Proud of that woman. Too bad most people lack morals when it comes to money.

“At a minium, they need to be fired!!”

Holman Rule. Lower their pay to $1 per year and see how long they stick around. Let them quit. Less cost to the taxpayers.

Sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that tends toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent (or resistance) to lawful authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel. A seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interests of sedition.

Typically, sedition is considered a subversive act, and the overt acts that may be prosecutable under sedition laws vary from one legal code to another. Where the history of these legal codes has been traced, there is also a record of the change in the definition of the elements constituting sedition at certain points in history. This overview has served to develop a sociological definition of sedition as well, within the study of state persecution.

Obonzo loaded the Federal government full of his commie spies before leaving. Time for PRESIDENT Trump to get busy on cutting that 25%. Drain the swamp and get rid of the commies.

Kick them out, this is insane. Surely they can “vet” enough honest people to take the jobs of the backstabbers.

Trump needs to build up detailed dossiers on all these people for future reference. Putting this info out to the public should alert these moles that they are known and being watched. This should create fear in these agencies which is a very good thing.

It’s not a crime if an employee wants to waste time or even express their views contrary to the administration or their boss. Those are just grounds for dismissal with cause.

However, if they were involved in seditious act such as working with terrorist groups or groups that incite violence, these people should be in a lot of trouble. Also, if they are spreading libelous information, they could face criminal charges depending on the specific nature of the information.

Sometimes it’s better to let the criminal go on for a little longer while you gain evidence and leverage for the bigger fish. But, Trump administration has got to get a handle on this before he is compromised. I’m sure Trump has seen this sort of thing in his business.

A list of people need to be tried and found guilty, fined and imprisoned under this law starting with George Soros.

Interesting take. The left’s sedition, riots, et al, is going to force DJT to take authoritarian actions, to which they will claim as proof that he indeed is a Fascist.

In Obama land, where the "CEO" never ran a lemonade stand, he would never know if things were going good or not.

Trump, on the other hand, will have a good idea when things aren't moving like they should and heads will roll.
