Fed Employees Coordinate With Obama Officials To STOP Trump Initiatives

Fire them all. Do it. Reagan did it. Trump should do it.

We need a massive purge of enemy operatives.

As for Obama, he continues to prove me right. He’s an immoral destroyer consumed by vainglorious delusions of his “legacy.” The water parted for that lowlife’s presidency. He got his cabinet picks in 1 – 2 – 3. He got his affirmative action Supreme Court justices in without a fuss. President Bush never so much as uttered a word against Obama or his policies, even when they bordered on treason. The media shined his boots daily. And this is how he thanks America for giving him the most important and respected seat in the world, despite how unqualified and inexperienced he was.

Fed Employees Coordinate With Obama Officials To Thwart Trump Initiatives

By Chris White, Daily Caller, February 1, 2017 (thanks to Todd):

Federal employees are working closely with former Obama administration officials to thwart future President Donald Trump’s policies and initiatives, according to a report published by The Washington Post.

Federal workers regularly consult with Obama-era political appointees about ways they can push back and potentially stymie Trump’s initiatives, according to the report.

Dozens of federal workers attended a support group last weekend for civil servants seeking a place to hash out their issues with the Trump administration. Nearly 200 or more federal employees, many of whom worked for the Obama administration, have signed up for workshops meant to train people in ways to safely engage in civil disobedience.

Trump’s decision to fire acting Attorney General Sally Yates Monday for refusing to implement the president’s refugees ban “sends kind of a chilling effect through the agency,” said John O’Grady, a career EPA employee who heads up agency unions.

“I’m afraid at this point that many federal employees are just fearful for their jobs, and they want to keep their heads down.”

Yates was replaced by Dana Boente, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, to serve as acting attorney general in the interim.

Tom Malinow­ski — who was President Barack Obama’s assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labor — implied that federal employees are dissenting beyond previous parties.

“Is it unusual? … There’s nothing unusual about the entire national security bureaucracy of the United States feeling like their commander in chief is a threat to U.S. national security. That happens all the time. It’s totally usual. Nothing to worry about,” Malinow­ski told reporters.

Another employee at the Department of Justice told reporters he and his colleagues are planning to slow their work and to file complaints with the inspector general’s office if they are asked to shift grants away from their mission.

“You’re going to see the bureaucrats using time to their advantage,” said the employee, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “People here will resist and push back against orders they find unconscionable” by publishing leaks to media outlets and filing a huge wave of complaints.

The White House is pushing back against employees refusing to implement Trump’s directives. Press Secretary Sean Spicer said during a press conference Monday that dissenters “should either get with the program, or they can go.”
