Scoop: Meadows puts agencies on notice about staff shake-up

Source: Axios

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."

It's the final purge. They are trying to plug the leaks and dislodge the disloyal or at least the non-criminally loyal.

They will need total unity and silence to do what is coming.

Every sub, ship, department, brigade in the Russian army had a Political Officer whose job was to ensure all decisions were based on the prevailing politics independent of data in hand.

Last thing trump needs is an October surprise leak.

We are in the endgame now.

11. Sounds like an indoor putsch to me. What Trump's SS controls cannot resist him nor can they act

to enable what remains of the law.

Sounds like he's getting advice from Putin via one of the Trump whisperers. He certainly has no clue how it all works. Whoever planned this one intends to win all at any cost to us or the Nation.

This is a Karl Rove or Dick Cheney level move. I think we can expect the GOP Senate to ignore it too.

I wonder just how much Herr Miller has to do with it???

The trumpistas have no intention of leaving. Our entire government has been stolen out from under us.
