No, you are blind.
https://theintercept.com/2016/11/08/...ion-lobbyists/Donald Trump Recruits Corporate Lobbyists to Select His Future Administration
As Donald Trump finishes his campaign with a promise to break the control of Washington by political insiders, his transition team is preparing to hand his administration over to a cozy clique of corporate lobbyists and Republican power brokers.
“Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you the American people,” Trump says in his closing campaign advertisement, followed by flashing images of K Street, Wall Street, and Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein.
But the Trump transition team is a who’s who of influence peddlers, including: energy adviser Michael Catanzaro, a lobbyist for Koch Industries and the Walt Disney Company; adviser Eric Ueland, a Senate Republican staffer who previously lobbied for Goldman Sachs; and Transition General Counsel William Palatucci, an attorney in New Jersey whose lobbying firm represents Aetna and Verizon. Rick Holt, Christine Ciccone, Rich Bagger, and Mike Ferguson are among the other corporate lobbyists helping to manage the transition effort.
Presidential transition teams develop policy plans and come up with a list of more than 4,000 people an incoming president appoints, including White House jobs, cabinet secretaries, and lower level positions that oversee the military, agriculture, trade, and beyond.
Trump for America Inc., a nonprofit group chaired by Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., to oversee the Trump transition, has quietly moved ahead, meeting with interest groups and reaching out to lobbyists to plan a future Trump administration.
The group has held regular meetings at the Washington, D.C., offices of Baker Hostetler, a law and lobbying firm.
On Thursday, the group hosted a breakfast at Baker Hostetler attended by Microsoft’s Ed Ingle and Steve Hart, two lobbyists who, according to filings, have worked to promote the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Other transition meetings have included briefings with the Financial Services Roundtable and the Investment Company Institute, two lobby groups that represent Wall Street interests, as well as with the BGR Group, a lobby firm that represents Saudi Arabia and the South Korean government.
Trump, of course, isn’t alone in relying on entrenched political insiders to shape his future administration. The Hillary Clinton transition team is led by Ken Salazar and Tom Donilon, two former Obama administration officials who now serve on the lobbying teams of major law firms. Though the Clinton campaign gained headlines for banning registered lobbyists from managing her transition, the distinction between registered and unregistered lobbying is largely a question of semantics.
Trump’s decision to embrace lobbyists while denouncing them on the campaign trail should come as no surprise to any seasoned observer.
The reality television mogul seized on distaste for big money politics as a potent campaign issue, denouncing the role of Super PACs during the Republican primaries. “I have disavowed all Super PACs,” Trump said, adding that he would oppose any support from lobbyists and other special interest groups. After shoring up the nomination, the candidate quickly reversed himself, not only raising cash from lobbyists but switching gears to aggressively embrace the same Super PAC strategies used by more traditional candidates. Several Trump staffers moved from his campaign to Super PACs supporting the Trump-Pence ticket.

Selective and incomplete list to portray an agenda of the lying MSM. Doesn't even say who the head of the transition team is. That is how dishonest these lying devils are. There are dozens of appointments, but this only shows a few.
I come to these boards, and waste my time on these boards, for the sake of others reading here. There are many.
Folks, this is FUD. We are being barraged by shills all over the internet, with the backing of the MSM. They act like they are posting facts, it is tricky to notice things like, I dunno, they only mention a handful of members, and do not even mention Pence is heading the team.
Do you see that friends? Do you see how they lie and deceive with selective truths? How long have these demons been here? How long have these fork tongued demons tried trick after trick? Do not fear. These demons will be purged. The time is coming.
You will have to trust, and support Trump. Or, just learn to completely ignore the MSM. Nothing they do is honest.
When I told you Trump would win, it was not a guess. I assure you, he is here to destroy a great corruption that has seized our country, and he must win. Again tonight, Soros may be able to summon his thugs, with the decision in Cincinnati. He is a traitor. He must be dealt with.
Ignore the stories about who trump is going to be, from those who forecast his demise. They have been wrong, and as long as you resist their mind control techniques, they will continue to be wrong.
The enemy is George Soros, and the entire Clinton Foundation. Not Donald Trump.

Trump will get support and trust when he earns it. This is what "holding his feet to the fire" looks like.

No, the media is not holding his feet to the fire. The media is still trying to break him. they do not understand yet he is anti-fragile.
I don't care about the media, I'm talking about RPFs. I would be thrilled if it turns out he could be influenced by liberty activists, but currently he's bringing in all the people he campaigned against, people who write policies that are in direct opposition to RPFs mission. Without folks pointing this out, he will get away with it. Not sure about others here, but I'm not very interested in beating back a bunch of Trumpsuckers on here defending him every time one of those policies turn into action.

Once again, you are making predictions about Trump, when all your past predictions have been wrong. You are nothing but a false prophet, a peddler of lies and defeat.
He is "going to get away with it," anyway.

Information war on, motherfucker. You lose.

Do you think the Trumpcucks give a $#@! about the 4th amendment? You are wasting your breath. They don't give a single $#@! about liberty in any sense of the word. They are on the winning team. They have someone to lead them. That is all they wanted.
Well Trump made history yesterday (the first time a to-be/president granted an interview to a alt-media/conspiracy theorists), he was on Infowars thanking AJ. I wonder if anybody from Infowars will become part of the White House Press Secretary's staff and/or granted White House press access?
