agencies and departments. They're to be his eyes & ears and report back to the White House if anyone/anything is being unloyal or not following his agenda.

I've read that this is one (of many) reason(s) he hasn't filled positions - all due to loyalty issues. Some people they hired were dismissed after finding that the person was not initially a Trump supporter, even as far back as the primary. If you were a "Never Trump" person, the White House doesn't want you.

I have no links, this is all from reading the "fake" news.

While I'm thinking about it, I've often wondered about his penchant insisting on employees or those who he does business with to sign iron clad non disclosure contracts.

He cannot do that with federal employees, yet, 2 cents to a donut, I bet he has worked around that one. Interesting if, say, Sean Spicer wrote a tell-all book 10 years from now. How could Trump enforce it or sue?

Anyway, I wish a reporter would look into it. I'm super curious.
