"The effort is aimed at scrubbing the members of the advisory boards "'o determine if appointments were politically motivated vice professionally made,' said one of the people. The freeze announced on Wednesday pertains only to appointees who have not yet been sworn in or have completed all the required paperwork, the people said. Several new board members, including Earl Matthews and Anthony Tata, were sworn in on Jan. 19 after pressure from the White House to push through as many appointees as possible before President Joe Biden's inauguration. But others, including Lewandowski and Bossie, were still undergoing a lengthy financial disclosure and security clearance process that normally takes weeks or months, according to the people familiar," Politico explained.

(2,580 posts)both at the 1/5 meeting of Trump Insurrection planning.
"Charles W. Herbster, who was then the national chairman of the Agriculture and Rural Advisory Committee in Trumps administration, in a Facebook post at 8:33 p.m. on Jan. 5 said that he was standing in the private residence of the President at Trump International with the following patriots who are joining me in a battle for justice and truth.
Among the attendees, according to Herbsters post, were Tuberville, former RAGA director Adam Piper, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Trumps former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, adviser Peter Navarro, Trumps 2016 campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and 2016 deputy campaign manager David Bossie. "
Key evidence there.
Enough here for 100 "Benghazis" - and best of all, based on the truth.

(22,118 posts)to us before...every thing we're doing, they caused it to happen because they did it to us. Hold no punches, don't pull back before our blows for justice land.
No rest, no peace for these little inhuman animals who hold so little respect for their fellow Americans who simply oppose them in various things. They are the ones who erected the gallows on 1/6/21. Not us.
Look at how they have treated us over the years...before one goes saying 'hey, we need to work together!', when as hypocrites, they were going to the WH, meeting w/ rump for din din, and wouldn't let us sit in or join them. Hypocrites too.

(19,066 posts)He came in ready for the job and despite no formal transition, he seemed more ready for everything in front of him than any president in memory.
Joe Biden is blowing me away, he was the perfect man for the job. Everyday I am stunned by how transformative he's appearing to be as our President.

(2,008 posts)Amazing how well it works when you hire competent advisors and *listen to them*
As opposed to hiring unqualified toadies who all have to wait around (probably planting knives in each others' backs to fill the time) to implement whatever ill-considered idea you tweet.
