Trump drains the swamp to staff his new administration with insiders

Team Trump is already filled with Washington insiders - CNNPolitics.com

But he has so far fully embraced lobbyists within his transition, and all signs point to a heavy influence from longtime Washington Republican circles on his transition. And with Trump mostly skipping detailed policy proposals during his campaign, they can have a powerful impact on his agenda.

Leaders in his transition include former Rep. Mike Rogers, former Reagan Attorney General and Heritage Foundation fellow Edwin Meese, former President of Heritage Edwin Feulner, former Bush administration official and lobbyist Christine Ciccone, former Dick Cheney adviser Ado Machida, former Senate Budget Committee staffer Eric Ueland and former Sen. Jeff Sessions' chief of staff Rick Dearborn. The effort is chaired by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Trump counts former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Sessions as close advisers.

Lower level staffers assigned with crafting different departments are also heavily drawn from K Street, the center of lobbying in Washington, and congressional staff, according to a staff organizational chart obtained by CNN.

Lobbyists around Washington feel that the Trump administration could be heavily influenced by their input, as his campaign's policy positions were considerably thinner than Hillary Clinton's, and some of his promises could be open to interpretation.

Former Bush administration stooges?
Dick Cheney advisors?
Crisp Crispie who will probably be impeached?
Newt who left in disgrace?
and lots and lots of Washington lobbyists.

Republicans really got us good this time. Not just us, but the entire nation. One racist and nasty party.

And you could see it all coming from miles away. Good job America. You elected them. Good job media, you did an unbelievable job guiding the country to vote in a dangerous narcissist. We are so screwed.
It sounds like you're saying this is a bad thing, yet you were one of the most incessant cheerleaders for the ultimate Washington insider candidate we've seen in a generation. Are you even aware of how ludicrous that looks?
 
Keep whining you fecund leftist and watch Republicans undo the damage you and your party have done. REMEMBER - Obama's use of EOs? Those will vanish within the first hour after Trump is sworn in.
What EO's you ignorant useful tool? I have challenged many on this board to name a single unconstitutional and/or illegal Executive Order issued by Obama and provided the source for the Executive Orders which have been issued, but not a single mother fucker has responded to back up there parroted LIE! Here, you take a try Hot Shot!

Here is the addy for the Presidential Executive Order Disposition Table maintained at the National Archives listing ALL of Obama's EO's.
Barack Obama Executive Orders Disposition Tables

Read it over and from the 249 EO's listed, point out exactly which ones are the offending ones and those that have been struck down by the Courts, big mouth! Best that you slink back under your rock.


The Supreme Court unanimously struck down as unconstitutional the Obama administration’s “recess” appointments to the National Labor Relations Board, which were conducted while the Senate was formally in session.

With a 4-4 vote, an eight justice Supreme Court dealt a blow to President Obama’s signature immigration policy, blocking the implementation of executive orders meant to protect certain undocumented immigrants from deportation.

Now STFU. Do your own homework.
 
Rdean and his butt hurt friends already crying, it was okay for Obama to have lobbyist when he promised not to, but now Trump going back on his promise is a big deal?

Rdean, blow it out your ass, your hypocrisy is blatant. You lefty nut jobbers have become unhinged.
trump is going to be walking back all of the bullshit he was feeding you nutters. LOL. Enjoy.

He fed me nothing, I didn't support him. He is just like Obama in 2008 when he made stupid promises and had to back off on them. Enjoy pouting and crying like a unhinged nutter.
 
Our constitution provides a separation of powers. Barry didn't get "his way" and used EOs to try and circumvent it. That is fact and easily seen via the lawsuits which he lost.

Lies won't work any longer. The election is over and YOU and YOUR party were sent packing by America - across the whole damn board.

Learn to love it.


Since you're dumber than usual, let me ask directly to help your half brain.....

LIST the immigration bill that congress proposed that Obama rejected and had to, instead, come up with his EO?
We have had immigration laws for a long time now. LOL.
 
Explain how an executive order that contradicts federal law is legal?

Go back and check the ruling on Obama's immigration EO, and you too may see that it was deadlocked 4-4 on strictly political leanings by the justices.....IT WAS NOT found illegal.

Nat, you ignorant piece of leftist sewage, it was struck down because a lower court had done so and their decision was not reversed by the SCOTUS.

AGAIN - STFU and do your homework you ignorant Obama cock licker.

I don't give a rats ass about the justices... a president can't usurp federal law with an EO, period, but the kenyan did. He pissed on the constitution every chance he got. His legacy will be the worst president in American history.

Well you lost that argument so you quickly turned to your worn out old pathetic, dumbass leftard tricks.

Get a life. People are sick of you progs and all your moronic hyperbole.
 
That is better than if Crooked Hillary would have won where she would have staffed with the shitheads from the Obama administration that ruined this country.

Yes, you poor baby....having to type your bullshit from some relocation camp where Obama placed your sorry ass......Indeed, the "country is ruined"......just look at unemployment stats, OBL dead, and wall street gains and the millions of health insured who could not have gotten such insurance before.....

OHHHHHH, the tragedy of having a half black guy sitting in a WHITE house, correct?
