How Trump Can Start Draining the Swamp

Start with Garland, Myorkis, Wrey, most of the FBI, CIA and on.

I agree. Fire them all.

Fire them all. Every last one. Can them. Let them eat cake.

From what I have read, Trump's plan is to break the DC government into independent pieces and then scatter the pieces, so they cannot collude together. Step 2 is to have Elon figure out how big each piece should be or even if the piece should exist.

Is this going to be chapter 13 in someone's book entitled, "How I Won the Election?"

One thing Trump can do to the deep state is start revoking security clearances of those who conspired against him. I'd advocate for using revocation of clearances as a weapon against these people, the 51 deep state laptop deniers come to mind, and it affects their ability to see/leak classified information in order to undermine Trump's agenda.

The political appointees, not Cabinet members requiring confirmation in the Senate, referred to in the article are also known as Schedule C appointees, which are the easiest federal employees to replace during an incoming administration's transition. Unfortunately, the democrats developed a caper called "nesting," where the political jobs are re-classified to permanent, which requires that the person selected for the job is competitively selected. Those employees can be terminated but it is a lot more difficult. I don't think Trump's transition team for his first administration was aware of this crooked departure from tradition - honored by both major parties - and Trump was saddled with many Obama hold-overs. I think that Vindeman cretin who supported Trump's impeachment from his position within the Executive Branch, was a Schedule C hold-over. Being aware of and dealing with the Nestors is critical for Trump's house cleaning coming back in to office. One way to do that is to run permanent employees names against the Schedule C appoiontees in the Plum Book. There are some federal executives, such as the FAA administrator, whose term of service may have been extended by an Act of Congress, signed into Public Law by a sitting president. This was to provide a veneer of continuity for critical infrastructure positions, like running the FAA. It was worked for both Republican and democrat administrations in the past but seldom have they been political plants, inserted to stymie the incoming administration. Everything changed under Obama and Biden, and not for the better. Trump can and must fix the politicization of jobs meant to be purely administrative.
