That may be....but for them to have access to the innermost goings on in a Trump Whitehouse is beyond belief.

Completely agree. If this is true, I would prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Send a powerful message.

The initial report by Yingst indicates that the White House staffers are not political appointees as they could be fired at will by Trump, but that they are career federal government employees or former Obama political appointees who were “burrowed” into the Civil Service by being converted to career employees before President Barack Obama’s term ended on January 20 and would in most cases have to go through a civil service procedure for termination.

Why would he wait until he gets back? Is he going to set up a web cam and bring them in to the board room to fire them? Color me skeptical of OANN

They can be transferred to areas were information isn't as sensitive, or denied access to information the President sees as critical or sensitive. If not, there is something very wrong with that.

Agreed. If it's good enough for Comey, it's good enough for these low level grunts.

There's something very wrong if he can't just outright get rid of them.

Totally agree. It's the President's house, if he wants to fire the lot and bring in trusted people.....nothing should prevent that at all.

Trump has to be more aware......Does he not find it highly unusual for someone to be always vacuuming the carpets while he is having high level meetings.

If they revealed classified info, they can be fired.
