Help wanted: Why Republicans won’t work for the Trump administration
By Lisa Rein and Abby Phillip June 17 at 8:43 PM

The array of legal and political threats hanging over the Trump presidency has compounded the White House’s struggles to fill out the top ranks of the government.

Trump’s firing of FBI Director James B. Comey last month and the escalating probe into Russian interference in the presidential election have made hiring even more difficult, say former federal officials, party activists, lobbyists and candidates who Trump officials have tried to recruit.

Republicans say they are turning down job offers to work for a chief executive whose volatile temperament makes them nervous. They are asking head-hunters if their reputations could suffer permanent damage, according to 27 people The Washington Post interviewed to assess what is becoming a debilitating factor in recruiting political appointees...

“I have people knocking down my door to talk to the presidential personnel office,” said White House press secretary Sean Spicer. “There is a huge demand to join this administration.”

2. spicer

You Lie

[GoCubsGo]

13. Oh, I don't doubt him.

Spicey didn't say that any of them were actually qualified for any open positions--not that it matters to them. They have yet to hire a qualified person for anything since Day One. There are probably hundreds of Trump's true believer flying monkeys who want in on his administration. And, the Trump misadministration is down to looking for any warm body that is willing to take the jobs.

[dalton99a]

10. Gotta grease some palms first

[smirkymonkey]

16. God, I can't stand the sight of that ugly face!

I am normally a calm, cheerful person, but the sight of him fills me with rage.

[tanyev]

17. I think they're there to file complaints, Sean.

[EffieBlack]

18. Yes, Spicy - people are knocking down your door to talk to the personnel office

Unfortunately, they're people already working there desperate to find out how to get the hell out of there . . .
