....The Dems and their committees are going nuts. The Republicans never did this to President Obama, there would be no time left to run government. I hear other committee heads will do the same thing. Even stealing people who work at White House! A continuation of Witch Hunt!
What does he mean by stealing?
Does he think that the WH-staffers who leak have been "stolen"?
Does he think that people testifying under subpoena means that they have been "stolen"?
Does he think that the people who flipped in him have been "stolen"?

Especially the "going "nuts"" part of it. It's way beyond 25th Amendment time now.

(101,306 posts)7. Schiff has hired people who used to work in the NSC
Trump furious after Schiff hires former NSC aides to help oversee his administration
An administration official told reporters to "ask Adam Schiff what that means" when asked about the President's claim Democrats are "stealing people who work at White House."
...
"We have hired staff for a variety of positions, including the committee's oversight work and its investigation," the aide said. "Although none of our staff has come directly from the White House, we have hired people with prior experience on the National Security Council staff for oversight of the agencies, and will continue to do so at our discretion. We do not discriminate against potential hires on the basis of their prior work experience, including the administration."
...
A person familiar with the matter said former National Security Council staffers would not be out of the ordinary on the intelligence committee. At least two Democratic staffers working on Schiff's staff also spent time at the National Security Council, and Rep. Devin Nunes, then the Republican chairman of the committee, hired former National Security Council Middle East director Derek Harvey in September after he was dismissed by then-national security adviser H.R. McMaster.

Trump thinks he owns anyone who has ever worked in his government. Unlucky, Orange Baboon - your non-disclosure agreements are useless here. Though it looks like they're just hiring competent people, who have understandably been quitting the Ever-Growing Swamp of the Trump Regime.
