posted on here the other day that made a good point. By not filling those positions, trump has screwed himself. He bigly decreased the amount of people willing to stand up for him.

Without leadership in many dept. there is chaos. He fires people at will so employees are on edge about their jobs. Especially if Obama hired them. He blames them for his mismanagement and incompetence. When there is chaos and no job security people tend to start backstabbing the root cause.

By not filling those positions trump thinks he is containing the leaks. In reality he is feeding into them.
