Youngkin plans to fill key Virginia posts with former Trump aides.

In the run-up to his inauguration on January 15, Youngkin has recruited from the ranks of Trump administration veterans, many of whom have faced a difficult job market in the year since the twice-impeached former president left Washington, DC, nearly a year ago.

Youngkin's transition team, with the assistance of a search firm, looked for younger Republicans outside the Richmond establishment who had recently served in government, a person familiar with the recruitment process told Insider.

Treasury? Commerce? The veep’s office?

Those are globalist hacks who worked for Mnuchin (Goldman), Ross (Rothschilds), and Pence (blackmailed mega-hack).

Sure he’s smart, but also a Deep Stater (Carlyle, McKinsey).

Maybe he wants to keep his distance from Trump for a possible run at the POTUS office himself? Egos in that business are huge to say the least.

Not so sure.

Trump had a turnstile with appointees. Seemed they were never good enough.

Watching the inauguration now ..... all I can say is THANK GOD it’s Glenn Youngkin, not Terry McAwful. It’s been an uplifting inauguration ceremony thus far.

I'm very pleased with his putting Dr. Marty Makary in charge of his public health team. One of the few sane voices on Covid out there.

Of course, Youngkin will never please the small group of people here who are pissed off that he won in the first place after yammering on and on over how the Democrats would certainly steal the election.

He should hire Stephen Miller.

Whatever their differences may be, Youngkin, like Trump, is a businessman outsider who won.

He needs to work with urgency. Dems are going to want the Guv desk back with a passion.
