#NeverTrumpers Are About to Take Over the White House

You can't even get an internship at the White House if you are pro-Trump.

May Massacre — Johnny DeStefano to Purge Trump Supporters on May 22nd

Johnny DeStefano, a GOP elite loyalist who never vocally supported Trump, was somehow given the most important job in a presidential transition. As director of presidential personnel, DeStefano decides who will work in the Trump administration. DeStefano has been using his power to undermine Trump in several ways.


Johnny DeStefano, head of personnel and policy for President Donald Trump, has blocked Trump supporters from the White House, twenty-three people with directly knowledge of hiring and personnel have reported to me.


Over 800 Trump supporters hold positions as Schedule C Federal Employees. These positions are temporary, and expire after 120 days.

Fewer than 15% of Trump’s temporary appointees (Schedule C) have been given permanent positions. Their terms are coming up, and they are being sent home.

Trump better start doing some more firing.

[r3volution 3.0]

It was obvious from the start that Trump would be an empty suit; Hell, Trump himself practically said so during the campaign, in relation to Pence.

The man is far too rudderless, emotional, and dumb to actually control the office of the POTUS.

This is just another part of the long game to get rid of Paul Ryan.

I disagree -- he's extremely rich. Which is proof that he is smart, competent, and capable of growing his 100+ million inheritance at about the same rate as an index fund

Hopefully, this brilliant gambit by Trump will out the deep state supporters and as Chief Executive he will be able to purge those that oppose him.

Trump hasn't hired hundreds yet. And the ones he has hired are part of the deep state (note all the generals and Wall Streeters he has hired). https://ourpublicservice.org/issues/presidential-transition/political-appointee-tracker.php


The Post and Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, are tracking more than 500 key executive branch nominations through the confirmation process. These positions include Cabinet secretaries, deputy and assistant secretaries, chief financial officers, general counsel, heads of agencies, ambassadors and other critical leadership positions. These are a portion of the roughly 1,200 positions that require Senate confirmation.

The Senate can only act on nominations that have been formally submitted by the Trump administration. Those marked “awaiting nomination” above have been announced but not yet submitted, while those marked “formally nominated” are awaiting action by the Senate.

Of that 1,200, only 63 have had anybody nominated to fill them with 39 confirmed. Since January.

Bannon liked DeStafano:


And yet DeStefano has won over the “pirate” wing led by Stephen K. Bannon, Trump’s combative chief strategist.

Bannon now calls DeStefano “just a huge piece of manpower” with a “very good sense of who could be a change agent and what are the key positions you have to fill and get filled right away.”

You didn't read the article.

They were going to lose their jobs because their temporary schedule C permits were not being renewed by Stefano.

Cernovich reported it, and it spread all over the White House and suddenly the permits started being approved.

He was successful at preventing it from happening.

Your link says nothing about any of the temporary positions being filled- under DeStefano.

They did start filling some back in April. https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-temporary-officials-some-now-permanent-employees


A review of federal agencies’ staffing lists, obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests and department websites, found the Trump administration has made at least 25 of its beachhead hires permanent. The White House and federal agencies don’t have to make public hires that don’t require Senate confirmation.


Other administrations have hired party loyalists, campaign staffers and congressional aides en masse in the first 100 days. But none have relied on temporary appointments on this scale, experts say. And dozens of ex-lobbyists populate the top ranks of federal agencies, which Trump had pledged to sweep away from public service.

Former lobbyists and corporate consultants who are now in key positons overseeing government regulations can be found across dozens of federal agencies

DeStefano is still in charge and I can't find anything about vacancies being filled. Cernovich hasn't stopped anything that I can see.

Ya, I don't think you get what is going on here..

Even your quote says:


Other administrations have hired party loyalists, campaign staffers and congressional aides en masse in the first 100 days. But none have relied on temporary appointments on this scale, experts say.

So Presidential administrations typically hire party loyalists and campaign staffers en masse in the first 100 days. Then, the "experts" say that other administrations typically don't rely on these temporary appointments on the scale that the Trump administration did. The Trump administration had hundreds of these employees, and many of them needed to get approved to continue to work past the 120 day temporary term limit. DeStefano was in charge of approving them, and he had approved less than 10%-15%. The fear was that these Trump party loyalists and campaign staffers would be replaced by members of the deep state.

Well, thanks to this reporting getting out, and the story spreading all over the White House, that has not happened and DeStefano may be out soon.

I don't understand why you don't just read the article I posted, it's pretty clear.

[Zippyjuan]

The fear was that these Trump party loyalists and campaign staffers would be replaced by members of the deep state.


But the article doesn't say if those staying or going are Trump loyalists or not. It is rumor- not facts. DeStefano hired them in the first place. Yet he doesn't want Trump loyalists? Does that mean that none of the temporary hirees were Trump loyalists? (again noting that Trump nominees HAVE been Deep State people).

90%+ of the hundreds of temp employees, many of whom were campaign staffers for the Trump campaign were on the chopping block until this information got out.

Again this is all right in the article, not sure why you can't give it a quick read.

I did. It didn't say much. It was also written before their temporary positions actually expired so we don't know how many are being kept on and how many let go and were they Trump supporters or not. What has changed since Cherno's piece?

If Alex Jones is right and his sources credible, we should all be living in FEMA camps by now.

http://www.businessinsider.com/lawyer-alex-jones-infowars-playing-character-acting-2017-4


The real Alex Jones is not his bombastic, conspiratorial InfoWars persona, his lawyer is hoping to convince a Texas jury in the radio host's child-custody battle.

That's more or less what attorney Randall Wilhite told Texas District Judge Orlinda Naranjo, the Austin American-Statesman reported on Sunday.

Wilhite told Naranjo that Jones' public personality should not be considered as material in evaluating the InfoWars founder's ability to be a father. Wilhite said doing so would be comparable to judging actor Jack Nicholson in such a custody battle based on his performance as the Joker in "Batman."

"He’s playing a character," Wilhite said of Jones. "He is a performance artist."

(Jone's own lawyer at his custody hearings- his ex-wife naturally disputed the claim).


But if “Alex Jones, conspiracy-mongering InfoWars host” is a character every bit as fictional as “The Joker, terror of Gotham City,” this could hurt InfoWars’ credibility among its own fan base. Hence Jones’ dilemma: if he insists he believes everything he espouses on InfoWars, he keeps his fan base but risks losing his children, whereas if he goes along with his own lawyer’s statements, it’ll help his custody case but might cost him his fanbase.

So naturally he blamed not his lawyer, but the media for reporting what his lawyer said.

[dannno]

If Alex Jones is right and his sources credible, we should all be living in FEMA camps by now.

Alternatively, the reason we are NOT in FEMA camps is because Alex Jones was so persistent at informing the public about them.

Meet Eric Ciaramella — H.R. McMaster Appoints Susan Rice Ally to be his Personal Aide

West Wing officials confirmed to Cernovich Media that Eric Ciaramella, who worked closely with Susan Rice while at NSC, was recently promoted to be H.R. McMaster’s personal aide. Ciaramella will have unfettered access to McMaster’s conversations with foreign leaders.

Ciaramella’s ascension is surprising considering pro-Trump sources within the Obama administration disclosed to me in December, 2016 that Ciaramella’s helped draft Susan Rice’s anti-Trump talking points before the Inauguration.

In fall of 2016 as Obama’s director for Ukraine on the NSC, Ciaramella was the main force pushing Trump-Russia conspiracy theories.

Some suspect Ciaramella was one of the original leakers who told the media about classified conversations Trump had with Russian diplomat Sergei Lavrov. While it’s unproven that Ciaramella leaked that conversation, it is now a fact of life that he will have access to every conversation Trump has with foreign officials, as part of his official duties for McMaster.

When this story first came to me, my question was, “This is a huge personnel move. Why hasn’t Politico run it?”

My sources told me other outlets passed on the story, because, “This isn’t the type of information the mainstream media wants out there.”

Staunchly pro-Ukraine and anti-Russia, Ciaramella is the media’s dream, which explains why this high-profile personnel move hasn’t been covered in any mainstream media outlets.

The only result for Ciaramella in Google News is a 2015 article about a meeting of religious leaders from the Ukraine meeting with Barack Obama.

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*Rs-c93UAxaYb159vuAsoGg.jpeg

As a student at Yale, Ciaramella was a social justice activist (http://yaledailynews.com/blog/2005/04/15/students-decry-arabic-professors-departure/).

Students convened outside Silliman at 9 a.m., all dressed in white to symbolize their future goal of bridging the gap between the United States and the Middle East through the use of the Arab language, said Eric Ciaramella ’08, one of the students who led the protest.


Nothing in his resume indicates that Ciaramella will put America First, and his entire life arc indicates he will sabotage Trump and leak information to the press whenever possible.

McMaster has been stacking the NSC (https://medium.com/@Cernovich/make-the-nsc-democrat-again-mcmasters-plan-to-purge-the-nsc-of-america-first-policy-goals-2755643678fb) with anti-Trump Republicans, Susan Rice allies, and Obama holdovers.

President Trump’s America First foreign policy has been called “naive” by McMaster, who wants to make the NSC Democrat again — an obvious joke among staffers as the NSC is overwhelming left wing.

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*qJoyql60zfaEFBIY578mOQ.jpeg

McMaster recently hired a Hamas sympathizer Kris Bauman, who earlier said that, “The Obama Administration must find creative (but legal) ways to include Hamas in a solution.”

McMaster tried hiring Benghazi liar Linda Weissgold (http://www.weeklystandard.com/mcmaster-interviewed-cia-operative-to-replace-trump-nsc-official/article/2007219) to work for him at the NSC.

Weissgold apparently had a good interview with McMaster, as she was overheard saying as she left the White House she would next have to “talk to Pompeo” — as in Mike Pompeo, the director of the CIA. But Weissgold was never offered the job; days later, Trump himself overruled the effort to move Cohen-Watnick out of his senior director role.



During the Obama administration Weissgold served as director of the CIA’s Office of Terrorism Analysis. She was among those who briefed Congress following the Benghazi terrorist attack in 2012, a team of intelligence and military experts who reportedly earned the nickname “the dream team” (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/officials-on-benghazi-we-made-mistakes-but-without-malice/2/) within the administration.


In addition to stacking the NSC with pro-Susan Rice, anti-Trump figures, McMaster has also tried purging anyone loyal to Trump.
McMaster had the security clearance of Adam Lovinger revoked after Lovinger attended a bar mitzvah in Israel.

One of President Donald Trump’s supporters was removed from the NSC on grounds that are either flimsy or fabricated…medium.com (https://medium.com/@Cernovich/mcmaster-anti-israel-adam-lovinger-security-clerance-pulled-nsc-b4474adca2b)
Pro-Trump Robin Townley (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/top-flynn-aide-denied-security-clearance-cia-nsc/story?id=45427487) also had his security clearance revoked without any good reason.

A senior administration official tells ABC News that Robin Townley had his request for special security clearance denied by the CIA.

The move will prevent Townley from being able to serve in the NSC post. Townley currently maintains an active top secret security clearance, but it was his request was for “Sensitive Compartmented Information” clearance that was rejected, the source says.


McMaster killed the pro-Trump “war room.”

Trump officials planned to set up a “war room” devoted to rapid response media messaging.

The White House is about to set up a ‘war room’ to battle the emerging challenges. ‘Since the firing of [FBI Director James] Comey, that really exposed the fact that the White House in its current structure … is not prepared for really a one-front war, let alone a two-front war,’ a source told Reuters. ‘They need to have a structure in place that allows them to stay focused’ while ‘also truly fighting back on these attacks and these leaks.’ ‘Obviously you want it [unity] under different circumstances but it’s really united this team and helped bring clarity to their focus,’ the source added.


McMaster personally intervened to torpedo the war room.

McMaster has also been orchestrating leaks about Trump to the press through David Petraeus’s firm KKR.

Cernovich almost jumped the Trump ship and moved to South America after he attacked the air strip, and he was very upset about the Saudi arms deal and all of the neocons in Trump's cabinet. As far as foreign policy goes he is right there with me and you and Ron Paul. On economic issues he is a little weaker.
