New White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci on Wednesday blamed holdovers from the Obama administration for a series of damaging leaks that have rocked the White House in recent months.
Speaking on Fox News, Scaramucci said that "political holdovers" from the Obama White House "aren't helping," and hinted that more staff changes could be on the way. "Listen, we have to crack down on leaks on a number of different fronts," Scaramucci told "Fox and Friends."

Just fire them all — that is the only solution and it’s good that Scaramucci is willing to do it.

Trump has to let up on Sessions. Trump just does not realize what he is up against and it taking too long to get up to speed. Washington DC is a total cess pool of rotten communists in both parties and will never be cleaned up until he wakes up. He cannot rely on the House or the Senate since it seems to be loaded with RINOs. and the communists Democrats still control it.

So where are the perp walks? Sessions isn’t doing his big job so maybe he can do some of the little work.

Why arent these Obama holdovers not fired then
To: socalgop
“Why is anyone in the communications department a holdover??”
Most of them are probably civil service employees. They can be fired for cause, maybe. But they don’t serve at the President’s pleasure, and he can’t fire them at will.
Congress has passed many laws over the years that make it hard to get rid of civil service employees.

It's not AG Sessions job to clean that swamp. It was up to the former Communications Director.
Lay off AG Sessions. It's not acceptable the way he's being treated. I really don't know what President Trump is thinking on this issue.
