in charge of all personnel decisions

John McEntee, President Donald Trump's former body man who was fired in 2018 amid an investigation into his alleged financial crimes, will lead the Presidential Personnel Office, multiple news outlets reported Thursday.

Former White House chief of staff John Kelly forced McEntee out over issues with the young aide's security clearance. The issues were related to online gambling problems and mishandling of his taxes, the Wall Street Journal reported.

McEntee was also the subject of a financial-crimes investigation by the Department of Homeland Security.

McEntee was reportedly escorted out of the White House in March 2018 without being allowed to collect his belongings, including his jacket.

First Hope Hicks and now this guy. I don't know what's going on, but it sounds like he's getting personal minders back on staff.

1. Yeah, as somebody said earlier today,

his meltdown meter is apparently blinking red.

[pwb]

2. Harder to fined dishonest people i would guess.

Bring back the trash who will be.

[Ohiogal]

3. Getting harder

To find people sleazy enough to replace the ones who left or who were fired, so they have to bring the old sleazes back.

4. Interesting.

The more vulnerable and threatened the Great Pumpkin feels, the more absolute loyalty become relevant and competence becomes irrelevant.

5. Saw on Twitter that at least Hicks was brought in

to help manage the mentally declining Donny Dollhands - she's like the only one left Trump can endure around him.

12. Does she do diapers?

Or is that his daughter-wife's job?

Ew. I just grossed myself out.

6. The House dems should impeach him a second time and send him over the edge.

This time throw the book at him, charge him with every fucking charge that's applicable.

7. Let's hope he goes in public today, a press grab or something

so we get a good look at him and hear him speak.

I think he's having a complete mental breakdown.

8. The article doesn't say if the aide was cleared or if issues with his clearance were resolved

If so, then he should be allowed to come back. Please don't attack me for saying that - I represent federal employees, including those faced with the loss of their clearance, and if the issues are resolved they are supposed to get their jobs back.

But the article doesn't say if that's the case here. Still, I am not a fan of the way the article is worded - he was terminated for alleged crimes. If no crime has been established he shouldn't be punished just for an alleged crime.

9. You are correct. No one should attack you for it.

We need to remember that if the standard for losing your job is just accusations and no proof, then no one would be in office. Too bad we didn't give Al Franken that benefit.

11. I have looked around online for info on these issues, but have not yet found what the

resolution was. If I find something, I will update my OP.

[Wounded Bear]

10. Nobody wants to work for him...

nobody with any credibility or integrity, anyway.

13. Only the best people.

14. Very fine indeed
