White House installs political aides at Cabinet agencies to be Trump’s eyes and ears
So Trump-esque.
Wanted: Yes men, only. Independent thinkers need not apply.
quote:
The political appointee charged with keeping watch over Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt and his aides has offered unsolicited advice so often that after just four weeks on the job, Pruitt has shut him out of many staff meetings, according to two senior administration officials.?
At the Pentagon, they’re privately calling the former Marine officer and fighter pilot who’s supposed to keep his eye on Defense Secretary Jim Mattis “the commissar,” according to a high-ranking defense official with knowledge of the situation. It’s a reference to Soviet-era Communist Party officials who were assigned to military units to ensure their commanders remained loyal.?
Most members of President Trump’s Cabinet do not yet have leadership teams in place or even nominees for top deputies. But they do have an influential coterie of senior aides installed by the White House who are charged — above all — with monitoring the secretaries’ loyalty, according to eight officials in and outside the administration.
?This shadow government of political appointees with the title of senior White House adviser is embedded at every Cabinet agency, with offices in or just outside the secretary’s suite. The White House has installed at least 16 of the advisers at departments including Energy and Health and Human Services and at some smaller agencies such as NASA, according to records first obtained by ProPublica through a Freedom of Information Act request.
So Trump-esque.

So...Trump should ignore the countless stories out there about department/agency personnel actively trying to thwart his policy objectives and not try to identify those persons providing a "for cause" basis for termination?

The only thing you have to worry about Trump doing to you is grabbing you.

That is exactly the point of political appointees. They help keep an un-elected bureaucracy in check.
