Trump appointees purging civil servants at the VA
The Washington Post article states:
“Ahead of Robert Wilkie’s likely confirmation to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs, Trump loyalists at the agency are taking aggressive steps to purge or reassign staff members perceived to be disloyal to President Trump and his agenda for veterans, according to multiple people familiar with the moves.
The transfers include more than a dozen career civil servants who have been moved from the leadership suite at VA headquarters and reassigned to lower-visibility roles. The employees served agency leaders, some dating back more than two decades, in crucial support roles that help a new secretary.”

Did Trump mean his walk back today?
I don’t think so and I expect him to disown it. It wasn’t a full walk back – he will never admit that Russia and only Russia, meddled in the election. He wasn’t very convincing today reading from a script. Yesterday was the real Trump. He only walked it back because he was advised to.
Sad!
