Washington Times:

Congressional Republicans are warning the departing Obama administration against moving any more political appointees into career-service government jobs, a practice known as “burrowing in.”

Government auditors found 69 Obama political appointees who moved into career jobs from 2010 to 2015, and 17 of them didn’t receive the required approval from the Office of Personnel Management. With President-elect Donald Trump preparing to fill about 4,000 political appointments, Republican lawmakers say there is more motivation for Democratic appointees to try to latch onto protected career positions.

  1. Mr. Trump spoke of his disappointment that the Republican congress did little about the militarization of the government against the people, so he is aware of the situation. I sincerely hope he will clean house of the guilty bureaucrats.

  2. “militarization of the government against the people”

    I think ‘weaponized’ is the word you’re looking for. And boy, did they ever. So yeah, anyone hired during the last eight years. If it’s just some low-level local schmo, you can be sure that person is part of the permanent bureaucracy. Let them re-apply. Saboteurs not welcome.
