President's new personnel head tells agencies to look out for disloyal staffers

(CNN)President Donald Trump's new personnel chief told agency officials at a meeting on Thursday to expect staffing changes and movements across the government, people familiar with the meeting told CNN.

A White House official said John McEntee, the President's former body man who was elevated to run the presidential personnel office, made it clear his office will be on the lookout for staffers across the bureaucracy who are seen as disloyal to Trump.
Another official said McEntee indicated he plans to first focus his efforts on personnel at the State Department and Department of Defense. He also told the liaisons that promotions and significant staff changes should not occur without prior approval from the presidential personnel office.
In his role, McEntee focuses on political appointees at various agencies, not career staff. Hiring and firing of career government employees are typically handled at the agency level.

Opening the gates of corruption and fear and letting tyranny walk in.

6. i guess working for Faux News is sufficient qualification in Rumpland.

At least, as Rump's former body man, he'll be able to take some of the load off Hope Hicks when it's time to change the presidential diaper.
