  • Trump Administration Allies Have Burrowed Into 24 Critical Civil Service Positions and 187 Last-Minute Appointments
    Trump Administration Allies Have Burrowed Into 24 Critical Civil Service Positions And 187 Last-Minute Appointments SUMMARY: Following the outgoing administration’s “quiet push to salt federal agencies with Trump loyalists,” an Accountable.US review has found that, as of February 22, 2021, at least 24 Trump administration political appointees have “burrowed” into long-term civil service jobs in the new Biden administration. This includes at least four figures in the national security apparatus, nine figures with environmental regulators, three figures in the Department of Justice, two figures in the embattled Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and at least six other appointees elsewhere who have refused to step down in the transition. Burrowing of this sort is not treated lightly, as officials who transfer from political appointments to career positions must undergo scrutiny by federal personnel overseers for a full five years—and some of these cases have been found to violate federal laws and have drawn congressional scrutiny. However, there is a much wider slate of concerning Trump administration appointments that are not subject to such strict oversight: During the Trump administration’s waning days following the 2020 election, it announced 187 last-minute appointments to various boards, commissions, and councils that don’t require Senate confirmation. While some of these appointments have already drawn alarm for going to campaign staffers, megadonors, and top administration allies, Accountable.US has unearthed even more troubling names in Trump’s outgoing deluge. Similar to how early Trump administration personnel picks were directly conflicted against the offices they served, many of these late Trump appointments are woefully underqualified or have histories directly at odds with the positions to which they were named—and they are likely to stay in long into the Biden administration.

Swamp Despite Pledge to Clean up Washington, Analysis Finds “Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people.” Donald J. Trump campaign ad, November 2016. “I am not beholden to any political or financial interest. I don’t care. I'm here to do a job. I'm doing a job for the American worker. I really don’t care. I'm not thinking about my business or anybody's business,” President Trump, March 31, 2017 By Alan Zibel, Research Director, Public Citizen’s Corporate Presidency Project, with research and writing from Public Citizen interns Nico Alliaga, George Kronlage and Micah Rosen. June 21, 2017 – With each passing day, Donald Trump’s promise to “drain the swamp” in Washington and root out special interests feels about as valid as a degree from Trump University. A Public Citizen analysis of 115 sub-Cabinet officials nominated or announced by the White House reveals extensive ties to corporate America. The analysis includes all of Trump’s nominees for sub-Cabinet roles such as deputy secretary and general counsel at federal agencies. It excludes ambassadors due to their lack of involvement in domestic policy. Only 15 of the sub-Cabinet nominees analyzed have been confirmed, according to the Partnership for Public Service.1 Of the White House’s nominees for these jobs, 80 people, or nearly 70 percent of sub-Cabinet officials, had a clear corporate connection, having worked in a corporate job, done corporate legal work or corporate consulting.

"Polybius weighed the authors from whom he was forced to borrow the history of the times preceding his own , and frequently corrected them , either by comparing them with each other, or by the light which be had received from ancient men of known integrity among the Romans, who had been conversant with those affairs which were then managed , and were yet living to instruct him.

Geography and history being two of the most important branches of human knowledge, and two of the most essential in the education of the present age„ it seems peculiarly desirable that a book devoted to both subjects should be made interesting, and appear something more than a monotonous list of names and cold bare facts, standing in dreary groups, or dismal isolation, like anthills on a treeless plain, destitute of colouring, life, and animation. In accordance with that belief, I have left the hard and somewhat dusty orthodox roadway, and out a " bridle track " in a new direction, gladly believing that the novelty and variety will in no way interfere with the instruction, which is the primary guiding principle of the work.
