Bess Kevin: Trump just signed an EO letting him purge thousands of federal workers for disloyalty, Vanity Fair.

Even if he loses, the action could sabotage a Biden administration indefinitely.

There are two parts to the order. He is basically swapping the expert class and the political class, so that the expert class can be fired at will, and the political class CAN NOT. So if they had time to move everyone around, Biden could not get rid of DT moles.

GAH!

Creating the new category…could allow a lame-duck President Trump to cripple his successor’s administration by firing any career federal employees who’ve been included on the list. It also could allow Trump administration officials to skirt prohibitions against “burrowing in”—the heavily restricted practice of converting political appointees (known as “Schedule C” employees) into career civil servants—by hiring them under the new category for positions which would not end with Trump’s term. Another provision orders agencies to take steps to prohibit removing “Schedule F” appointees from their jobs on the grounds of “political affiliation,” which could potentially prevent a future administration from firing unqualified appointees because of their association with President Trump.
