Former national security adviser John Bolton was advised to purge potentially biased holdovers from the Obama administration from the Trump White House, according to a top Republican in Congress.

House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes said on Thursday that he warned Bolton, whom Democrats want to testify in the Senate impeachment trial against President Trump, of an anti-Trump spying operation by members of the National Security Council. The California congressman also said he told H.R. McMaster, who preceded Bolton, and Robert O'Brien, the current national security adviser, to take steps to cull what he called a "den of thieves."

"I have said this over and over and over again. I said this to McMaster, I said it to Bolton, and I said it to the new national security adviser, O’Brien, that they just need to get all those people out of there," Nunes told Fox News host Tucker Carlson. "If you were there and worked for Obama and you were a holdover, just, you know, get a used building somewhere on the other side of the Potomac. Just get them out of there. They have done so much damage to the presidency. I couldn’t agree with you more."

Carlson asked why it appears to be so difficult to remove these officials when a new president is elected and a new government is set up, to which Nunes replied, "I have no idea."

The Never-Trumpers are of course the same left-wing RINOs that have troubled the party from at least the period of time written about by Skousen and Goldwater.

I am all in favor of a RINO/NEVER TRUMPER purge!

Fire every damn one of them! They HAVE to know who they are!
