Meadows puts agencies on notice about staff shake-up




https://www.axios.com/mark-meadows-agency-liason-staff-shake-up-33a02248-65b6-4827-93e8-44f3ba22c3a5.html

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told administration officials Monday to expect senior aides to be replaced at many government agencies, according to an internal email obtained by Axios.

Behind the scenes: Meadows asked the director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office John McEntee "to look at replacing the White House Liaisons (WHLs) at many of your agencies," according to the email. "John will be working with outgoing liaisons to explore other opportunities."

"Please welcome incoming liaisons as they begin their new roles," Meadows wrote. "I ask that you encourage your teams to equip the WHLs with everything they need to support your agency and the President's agenda."

"It is important that WHLs have direct access to principals and senior staff regarding all political hiring decisions."

Why it matters: As Meadows reminded the recipients of his email, these liaisons are the senior-level staff responsible for managing political appointees within each agency.

The White House declined to comment.

Won’t these amateurs be replaced if/when Biden is inaugurated in just a few months? Why is the administration so confident that Trump will be re-elected? What do they know that we are being lied to about? Am I overreacting or does this strongly hint that the fix is in? Or do they just want to burn everything down before they’re forced out?
