I listened to an interview with Vivek. He said that the experience of running for president was amazing - simply because, being a political noob, he had no idea of how Washington works, and where the pitfalls are. He then said that this also applied to Trump in 2016. He predicts it'll be different this time around.

Everybody from Trump's inner circle that I've heard interviewed have immediately pulled back when asked what they think their role in the new administration might be. I sense some deference to Trump. They have been promised nothing, and they expect nothing until it is offered.

Good point. I saw Rubio interviewed re' cabinet posts, and that's the sense I got.
I find it interesting that President-Elect Trump posted this.

That’s not a surprise. I think Ivanka didn’t like the very nasty attention their kids were getting.

I wouldn't rule him out as a ME envoy.

I am not sure why people think that the way President Trump will pick people for his cabinet will be different from the last time.
Last time, we were told (by himself) that we was a businessman who had decades of experience in hiring people and only hired the best. I dont see him changing his style unless to make that there is some sort of "loyalty" question in the hiring.

Even shockingly polite.

Not a cabinet post, but...
Rumor is that Wray is going to resign, perhaps before the inauguration.

Is he staying within extradition reach? Asking for a friend.

I have to wonder what made President-Elect Trump announce that he's not considering Haley or Pompeo. Surely he could have declined, or told them they're not in the running in person.
To stop speculation?

Loyalty will absolutely be a thing, and I've heard Don Jr say as much. Remember the history of people in the white house bragging anonymously about being adults in the room, keeping him in check. There'll be none of that anymore. So the adults, now outside the room, can go a corner, assume the fetal position, and weep uncontrollably, as adults will do.
It's important to keep in mind that he only expects a normal level of loyalty to a president, rather than an extraordinary amount. He was met with an extraordinary amount of disloyalty last time, and he has an obligation to his voters to make sure that does not happen again. Loyalty to a president from the white house staff is a normal thing, and he will get it this time.

I think he's still a little miffed with Haley. Pompeo? I thought he'd use him for something...Maybe he still will.
I've read where the Trump team are asking many of the people they are vetting for positions, if they will accept "Acting" roles...Those do not have to be confirmed by the Senate.

As for Wray...There's going to be a bloodbath among senior management at the DOJ. I've heard some postulate every FBI official above GS-14 is gone...

Experience. That’s why.
