Clean House: Trump Fires 70 Obama Holdovers From National Security Council
President finally draining the swamp after Vindman episode


By Jamie White | INFOWARS.COM Monday, February 10, 2020

President Trump has reportedly removed over 70 Obama-era holdovers from his staff, including the National Security Council.

The purge comes after Trump fired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and his twin brother from the NSC on Friday, along with former Ambassador to Ukraine Gordon Sondland, for their “insubordinate” roles as “witnesses” in the Democrat impeachment campaign that failed last week.

From the Washington Examiner:

President Trump is making good on his promises to “drain the swamp” and cut Obama-era holdovers from his staffs, especially the critical and recently controversial National Security Council.

Officials confirmed that Trump and national security adviser Robert O’Brien have cut 70 positions inherited from former President Barack Obama, who had fattened the staff to 200.

Many were loaners from other agencies and have been sent back. Others left government work.

NSC Senior Director for Strategic Communications John Ullyot said the Trump administration will likely remove even more staff.

“This month, we will complete the right-sizing goal Ambassador O’Brien outlined in October, and in fact, may exceed that target by drawing down even more positions,” said Ullyot.

Vindman had testified to the House Intelligence Committee in November that Trump tried to pressure Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, but Trump released the transcripts of his phone call with Zelensky which discredited Vindman’s accusations.

“Fake News @CNN & MSDNC keep talking about ‘Lt. Col.’ Vindman as though I should think only how wonderful he was,” Trump tweeted last week.

“Actually, I don’t know him, never spoke to him, or met him (I don’t believe!) but, he was very insubordinate, reported contents of my ‘perfect’ calls incorrectly, & was given a horrendous report by his superior, the man he reported to, who publicly stated that Vindman had problems with judgement, adhering to the chain of command and leaking information. In other words, ‘OUT’.”

About time. Now only has 'X' thousand more to go!

Yep.

Trump Drains Swamp of US Attorney Who Oversaw Flynn, Stone Cases
He nominated her for a Treasury Dept. opening she quit her job for, then withdrew the nomination

By Zero Hedge Wednesday, February 12, 2020

President Trump withdrew the nomination of former US attorney for DC, Jessie Liu to the #3 spot at the Treasury – which she quit her job last month in anticipation of.

Liu oversaw several politically charged prosecutions, including Trump associates Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort and others, according to Axios, following a scoop by OAN’s Jack Posobiec.

The move comes hours after four prosecutors in the Roger Stone case tendered their resignations because the DOJ rejected their absurdly punitive sentencing recommendations in Stone’s case.

Liu was confirmed in September 2017 to oversee the DC US attorney’s office, and was expected to stay through her nomination. Instead, she was unexpectedly informed last month that she would be replaced by Attorney General Bill Barr’s close adviser, Timothy Shea, per Axios – which adds that her withdrawn nomination to the Treasury Department’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial crimes was the “president’s call,” according to a former administration official familiar with the situation.

On top of that, Liu came under fire last week for declining to press charges against two U.S. Park Police officers who fatally shot a harmless and unarmed driver four times in the head.

The Conservative Treehouse has covered Liu extensively. Read more about her here.

In short – the swamp just got a little lower.

Deep State Swamp Creatures Flip Out

Now they want a special investigation of the DOJ for "abuse of power". Dumbasses never learn.

I don't mind. As long as they're "investigating" they ain't doing anything else to screw us up.
