NYT: Liberal Officials Flee Trump Administration Due To Conservative Agenda
Daily Caller ^ | 12:31 PM 09/12/2017 1 3 | Jack Crowe Political Reporter

Posted on 09/12/2017 10:59:55 AM PDT by Ernest_at_the_Beach

A number of Department of Justice (DOJ) lawyers appointed by previous administrations have resigned to avoid dismantling the liberal agenda pursued under former President Barack Obama, according to The New York Times.

“Yet the new direction has also met some resistance among rank-and-file civil servants. Within the Justice Department, several long-serving lawyers have decided to retire or quit rather than help carry out the new policies,” people briefed on the departures told TheNYTimes.

“Some of these lawyers also faced the unpalatable task of undoing their work defending Obama-era regulations, such as those on birth control and transgender rights. Rather than help roll back those rules, the officials decided to leave the government” TheNYTimes reported.

We are winning. It’s obvious. The ship’s not sinking, and the rats are leaving anyway. Let’s keep winning.

Two out of ten thousand is not even a drip of swamp drainage.

Yep, plenty more work to be done.

But I don't need to eat the whole pie all at once. I can eat it a slice at a time, and still be plenty happy.

FR had a article recently about the 1000-odd people laid off/early retired from the EPA. Once slice at a time.

I love what Trump is doing but geeez it isn’t that radical

My $0.02? He doesn't even need to fire them all.

Figure that these are bureaucrats who've not put in a full 40 hour week in their entire lives. Just put a boss in charge that will expect them to work, and they'll through three stages:

1. "He CAN'T do this to US! We've been here longer and we'll SHOW HIM!!"

2. "OK, maybe he CAN do this to us. Geez, this place used to be great, now it totally sucks."

3. "Hey, I just got a job as the Assistant Admin to the Undersecretary of Diversity at State U! Waaay better than the government. You should quit too!"

My guess? We're somewhere between 1 and 2. Couple of the agencies like the one in the article, the EPA, and the State Dept, are somewhere between 2 and 3. :-) All winning, all the time. Drain the Swamp.

Two good news re this.

1. More rats are out of the way.

2. President Trump gets to appoint good people to replaced those who are resigning and running for cover.

Here’s a List of U.S. Attorney Nominations President Trump Just Sent to The Senate:

I’d send ‘em off with golden parachutes full of holes and dropped ‘em over the swamps of the Everglades.

but that’s just me.

I just figure some will stay others will go depending on how close they are to the swamp creatures....either or doesn’t matter as when the water level keeps falling in that swamp all sorts of creatures will try to escape.

Yep....never can tell what you’ll come across when cleaning out a hoarders nest! Clintons and Obamas have been filling it with trash and junk for decades!....and they keep trying to get more in there despite the cleaners being there.
