You know how this works. In Obama’s case he hired a couple of Bush holdovers and every time something went wrong they would blame the holdovers claiming that they were Bush appointees. They don’t want Trump to do the same to them so if it looks like Trump is going to hire one of the Obama appointees then they want to fire him first.
Not sure about that either.
Rogers came out and said that Russia was involved in trying to influence the election. Now Trump wants to hire him?
I am more inclined to think that Rogers is in the way of something that the Obama administration wants done before January 20th.
