#1 This is concerning. Dems regularly just fire GIVERnment officials who do not align with their vision and the media does not even write a story. The notion of asking someone to resign instead of just firing them is somehow concerning.

My concern is that the number (3) asked to resign was so low. It should be in the 1000s

#5 They’re just the first. And asking is diplomatic — nobody believes they weren’t summarily fired.

#7 It sounds like those three positions are the ones that control staffing assignments. The positions not the people are needed for the proposed house cleaning. If they are Plum Book positions, those people will be fired if they refuse to move laterally.
