Trump’s second term promises to be transformative in the best sense of the word. January 20 can’t come soon enough.

[albie]

I can’t believe that someone didn’t inform him of this earlier

[pgyanke]

This says a lot of good things. Happy to read this.

[Flaming Conservative]

I’d like to know who recommended this guy to Trump to begin with.

[stylin19a]

what you said...

[beaversmom]

Same. They need to do deep dives on these picks. Glad he’s gone.

>> Trump’s second term promises to be transformative in the best sense of the word. January 20 can’t come soon enough.

Amen.

[RoosterRedux]

Not just who recommended him but who vetted him.

It looks like someone gave Trump the positives on Sheriff Chronister, but no one brought up the negatives.

Which means Trump ought to seriously consider shaking up his vetting team.

MEGA DITTOS to that.

What’s the most important here is that Trump has learned his lesson from 2016, and is now listening to US when it comes to who he hires

My question is, if Trump told Chronister to withdraw because Chronister had arrested a pastor for keeping his church open during Covid, why did Trump even offer Chronister the DEA post to begin with?

[TornadoAlley3]

I’m disappointed his team didn’t discover this before the appointment but satisfied with end result.

>>>Trump ought to seriously consider shaking up his vetting team.<<<

Agree 100%

[chuckee]

Who recommended this jerk to Trump in the first place? If it’s another appointee, time to dump that appointee as well

[Cold Heart]

My thought as well.

Trump needs to assign someone to read FR.

[dasboot]

‘Glad he’s gone.’
F.I.F.E. sybdrome.

[xone]

why did Trump even offer Chronister the DEA post to begin with?

Because he didn't know about the arrest when he made the offer, ie new info.

[sjmjax]

Perhaps.
But, can you imagine just how many potential candidates for these offices he must wade through in a short time.

[thegagline]

That’s a valid question. I don’t think we will ever get an answer to that question.
