Scaramucci: Obama holdovers are responsible for leaks
The Hill ^ | July 26, 2017 | John Bowden

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."

re: the Communications (and other) civil service employees who are part of the coup attempt. If some of them can’t be fired, can they be transferred? Perhaps they could clean toilets at the Smithsonian, for example.

Build a facility on the island of Attu (Where they can see Russia) and transfer them there. Give them no duties, no internet and no access to government data bases

Totally agree. fire every f*cking one of them on day ONE. WTF was the Trump team thinking.

I must admit that I could never figure this one out. Any incoming CEO flushes the toilet and surrounds himself with his people. I figured Trump was smarter than this fir Chriseakes.

I really don't know what President Trump is thinking on this issue.

That's right. You don't.

“WTF was the Trump team thinking...I must admit that I could never figure this one out. “

It’s pretty easy actually...

It’s not just obama holdovers, it’s clinton and bush holdovers, too. 96% of the irreparably corrupt federal government voted for that treasonous murdering harpy, including so called republican congressmen and senators.

It’s a totally corrupt borg and they are in open rebellion/sedition to the incoming Trump administration. A mexican standoff, if you will. Look what happened when Trump fired Comey...They went to defcon 1 and we ended up with a special counsel.

Starting to sink in, yet?

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.<<<

I’m sure they would love to fire them all and start over, but who would be left there to do the necessary day to day business if they cleared the house??? Perhaps this has something to do with keeping the holdovers, unfortunately:

“The White House sent another 12 nominations to the Senate for confirmation Tuesday, but the slow rate the of confirmations caused by procedural motions by Democrats will take the executive branch over 11 years to fill the posts, Republicans claim.”

It’s not AG Sessions job to clean that swamp. It was up to the former Communications Director.
********************************************
Scaramucci is the FIRST Communications Director under Trump.

If you are thinking of Spicer, he was the Press Scty. and not the Comm. Dir.

That’s why he can’t let up on Sessions. Without an AG that is willing to bring up charges and investigate these people he cannot win. Sessions is a total tool of the deep state, and a weakling. He obviously has some blackmail held over his head or is being paid or has too much to lose.

Sessions has to pony up or gtfo. Trump is giving him that chance, and he isn’t taking it.

Unless there are multiple indictments being readied Sessions needs to go. The media, democrats, and republicans have committed blatant public crimes since Trump has been in office, yet not one has been prosecuted. A total pussy, this wonderful Jeff Sessions. I don’t care what he’s done in his life, what he’s done since becoming AG has totally invalidated all of it.

I am thinking of Spicer. So, is part of the slowness in "draining the swawp" of WH leakers that until now there was no one to do that? Or was it supposed to be Preibus?

I honestly don't think anyone realized just how bad the swamp is. How can the US tell other countries about respecting elections and the rule of law? DC swampthings are showing the world that the situation in the US is worse than many of those we held in such disdain.
