Donald Trump is considering hiring Elon Musk as a hatchet man to help trim down the deep state and drain the Swamp, so of course we just learned this from Just The News:
An independent watchdog group is warning that the Biden administration is busy working to blunt the impact that a Trump presidency might have on the Department of Justice using special authority to appoint without competition select career civil servants to key roles.
Yes, the Biden-Harris DoJ, in anticipation of a potential Trump victory in November, has been reportedly fortifying the Swamp through a clever hiring scheme.
The way it works, according to the watchdog group "Protect Public's Trust," is that instead of making outside hires through a normal competitive process, the DoJ is hiring attorneys within and using Schedule A to protect these hires.
From Director Michael Chamberlain of Protect Public's Trust:
'Normally to be hired into a career civil service job it takes a listing in usajobs.gov and they'll have several candidates, and they'll go through a competitive process to choose these. But, the DOJ is using a process outside of that, the non competitive process, to hire hundreds of attorneys into areas that are going to be vital to protecting the Biden Harris administration's policies from a Trump administration or another future administration,' he continued.
Chamberlain says that because of the special authority the Biden Administration is using to hire these employees, known as Schedule A, some of those appointees may receive special career civil service protections before Donald Trump would start a second term if he wins the election, hamstringing his administration's ability to control its own Justice Department or to "Trump-proof" the federal government.
The Deep State protects their own. You've gotta respect it.
You can hate it, but you've gotta respect the cunning.
Schedule A employees are supposed to be non-political jobs, which is why they have Civil Service protections and can't be fired at whim by the White House. The Biden-Harris team has been abusing this system, according to this report, to ensconce Democrat allies in jobs where they are not vulnerable or replaceable.
The Swamp is inevitable when Democrats make all the hires and Trump is prevented from firing.
The documents obtained by PPT show the Biden administration has used Schedule A to appoint employees in key divisions and roles throughout the department that the organization says are the most politicized in the department. Federal regulations prohibit using Schedule A to hire any employees for a policy-influencing role, however, hiring ideologically aligned individuals in these divisions may provide an avenue for advancing preferred policy, even under a new president.
The Swamp persists, and it's only going to get swampier if Harris is elected.
