During the transition from Clinton to Bush one of Clinton’s buds gleefully commented that there were a few land mines and other booby traps set for the Bush administration. They also transferred their political appointees to regular jobs protected by the Civil Service rules, meaning they can’t be fired. It was right out there in the open but the media keeps quiet about it.
“...there were a few land mines and other booby traps set...”
What did the Administration do about it? Exactly nothing. They left in place every Clinton operative, in every sector of the government. I do not view that as being a good thing for the nation.
