White House Confirms It's Purging Disloyal Employees 'From the Bowels of the Federal Government

[RetiredGySgt]

You STILL haven't answered his question. You're better and smarter than that, Coyote.

What is a Trumpist? Some who supports anything and everything Trump does, even it it's unethical. To sum it up - a Trumpist is someone who refers to lying as mere "literary license" when it comes out of Trump's mouth. Someone who suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome.

We put up with the exact same thing for 8 years under Obama.

No they did not. Please post to an article where a Obama purged the intelligence community or hired an assistant whose sole job was to weed out those disloyal to Obama.

Eric Holder? LOL

Would Obama have cured the coronavirus?

Eric Holder????

Try again.

Obama would have handled this crisis like he did with Obama. With competence,

Well except for the fact that Holder ignored the Congress and even after being censured did not turn over what was ordered. As I recall you all tried to Impeach Trump for demanding a day in Court.

Government employees need to be loyal to the USA, not loyal to an orange buffoon.

Why not? Harry Truman did it.

Barr is certainly a yes man thus far.

Regarding leaks - that is a separate matter and one that can be criminally pursued.

That doesn't seem to be what this article is referring to - only rather vaguely defined terms like "loyalty".

I meant that you haven't answered the Sgt.'s question in post #86 of this thread. Please answer that question. Thank you. Also refer to post #104.

I just did.

Nope, you STILL haven't answered his question. VERY disappointing.

In what way have I not answered it?

 

[eagle1462010]

I ask again. What is a “Trumpist”? Someone who disagrees with you? The WH has had nonstop leaks and distractions. Barr is not a “yes man” he is still there. How do you explain that?

Obama to replace U.S. Attorneys

President Barack Obama plans to replace a "batch" of U.S. Attorneys in the next few weeks and more prosecutors thereafter, according to Attorney General Eric Holder.

"I expect that we’ll have an announcement in the next couple of weeks with regard to our first batch of U.S attorneys," Holder said Thursday during a House Judiciary Committee hearing which stretched out over most of the day due to breaks for members' votes. "One of the things that we didn’t want to do was to disrupt the continuity of the offices and pull people out of positions where we thought there might be a danger that that might have on the continuity--the effectiveness of the offices.But...elections matter--it is our intention to have the U.S. Attorneys that are selected by President Obama in place as quickly as they can."

However, by using terms like "elections matter," Holder seems to be signaling that Obama plans to install new leadership in most offices.

As I recall, that was not why he was impeached. Let's try to be accurate.

You mean one of the two articles was NOT because he did not turn over witnesses and records? I don't know what Impeachment you watched.

Ya he is wrong on that one any appointed position is free for the President to remove any time for no reason or any reason at all. But as I recall you all whined about AG's and Comey.

Only 1 ag..........under Obama, Bush and Clinton they were fired and rehired in mass.

So it's been a long long time. That was a very disturbing thing as well BUT - it wasn't loyalty to TRUMAN, was it?

Trump is demanding loyalty to him.

Replacing Comey, in the middle of an investigation like that - was dicey and at best looked very bad.

I actually didn't realize, until fairly recently, that attorneys were also appointed, like diplomats, and a host of others - so I don't have an issue with those.

Lol..Truman was concerned about loyalty to Country; Trump is concerned about loyalty to himself and only himself.

See the difference.

The democrats did they complained about several AG replacements claiming that it was unprecedented for a President to appoint his own Attorney after the first day in office. As for Comey he was not PERSONALLY investigating anything field agents do that. And he was actively spying on the President ILLEGALLY I might add and leaking info to the press.

You mean he would appoint a lawyer to handle it again? lol idiot.

 

[Olde Europe]

Trump...as usual...conflates loyalty to the country (or the office of the president) with loyalty to him, personally. Perhaps that should be fealty.

Can't recall this sort of things happening before. I wonder if this means combing Facebook and private lives?


White House Confirms It's Purging Disloyal Employees 'From the Bowels of the Federal Government'

This means spying on employees. As these things unfold, it means snitching. As it goes on, it means mutual distrust, a work environment as toxic as you may imagine. All told, the rot usually starts at the head.

His second term promises to be interesting, don't you think?

Loyalty to Trump also infers loyalty to Trump's boss, Putin.
