#3 It looks like the Trump organization is baloney slicing the hold overs. They can't complain he did a purge since there about half of them left. At the same time conservative judges are being appointed down to the appellate level so they can't rely on cover from the courts. By the time the various executive branches are fully purged no one will care.

#4 All of the people being dismissed were at the end of serving at least one three-year term

Nothing special just media spin, their contracts weren't renewed.

#7 200 advisory panels makes the old "12 heads, twenty four arms and legs and no brains" look like a desirable bargain...
