Trump 'landing parties' descend on Justice, State, Defense departments
Washington Times ^ | Nov. 17, 2016 | S.A. Miller

President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team got down to nuts and bolts Thursday, deploying “landing parties” to federal agencies responsible for national security and reportedly having offered the next administration’s first big appointment.

Visits to the National Security Council and departments of Defense, Justice and State to lay groundwork for the handover in January marked a rapid acceleration in activity by the transition team, which has been criticized for the slow pace of progress in the first week after the election.

The Associated Press, citing “a senior Trump official” speaking on the condition of anonymity, reported that Mr. Trump had offered the post of White House national security adviser to retired Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, a former Defense Intelligence Agency chief. It was not clear Thursday evening whether Gen. Flynn, who was an early supporter of Mr. Trump and spoke on his behalf at the Republican National Convention, had accepted the offer.

The past is the past. Learn from it. But govern for the present and future.

Absolutely. Let's just have a general amnesty and clear out all the prisons....

“...Trump smart enough...good people..”

Trump is smart enough to pick good people. His worldwide building accomplishments could never have happened without this skill. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=images+of+trump+buildings+worldwide&qpvt=images+of+Trump+buildings+workdwide&qpvt=images+of+Trump+buildings+workdwide&qpvt=images+of+Trump+buildings+workdwide&FORM=IGRE

Also Trump is very smart in his own right as well - remember he has an Ivy League degree from the U Penn Wharton School of Business. U Penn is ranked 5th in the Ivies.

We can have confidence in our man!

Can he purge all of the department workers? Are each of them up for review?

No, a president can’t really clean out the bureaucracy, but Congress can, especially with presidential leadership.

Drop heavy hints that those that are honest up front about wayward bosses will receive leniency, and that evidence of recent file deletions will be thoroughly forensically investigated.

Plug the plug on every shredder and then disable them.

Tell the Obama/Clintoon thugs, anyone destroying evidence will face Federal Charges.
