Self-dealing GSA official blocking Biden's transition privately plans post-Trump career
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/gsa-official-blocking-bidens-transition-privately-plans-post/story?id=74234794. . .
"Here's somebody who refuses to sign the letter of transition but is self-dealing at the same time," he told ABC News. "That's a de facto recognition that there's an incoming administration, and it's not called Trump -- it's called Biden."
Biden's advisers have threatened legal action if the GSA continues to stonewall the transition, which is delaying access to classified information in addition to updates on national security and potential vaccine rollout plans.
As Trump continues to purge top members of his administration with whom he's long been unhappy, one of the president's most loyal aides and director of the Office of Presidential Personnel, John McEntee, privately threatened to fire those looking for jobs prior to the president leaving office, according to sources familiar with the private discussions.
McEntee, 30, is responsible for personnel matters not just in the White House but across the federal government. But many within the current administration, at least privately, recognize the reality that Trump lost the election and their jobs will end in two months. Some are casting a wide net -- hiring television agents, speaking with various law firms.

THIS:
"It fits "The Apprentice" model of taking some naive, unskilled individual and throwing them in the deep end of the pool."
