2. Civil Service Protections… Long past time for these to be stripped…

3. Inspector Generals… Pass the popcorn

4. Regarding the FBI Background checks, Article II takes priority and precedence. The FBI background checks were a legal nicety observed at a time when the FBI carried a level of trust in the public eye that they no longer enjoy. That’s an easy obstacle for the new administration.
