27. It's COMMON practice to replace people with your OWN people
especially people who make travel arrangements and know where everyone's staying, how they travel etc. Would YOU want people you did not have complete trust in, making YOUR travel arrangements, and then calling someone on the sly to let them in on the advance details?

People who were non-political civil service workers, could have been simply re-assigned, and probably many were..but of course the right wing media made a mountain out of a molehill..

It's the NORM for people hired on and working for the previous admin, to submit their resignation/request for reassignment when the new crew arrives.. Some are kept on..others have their resignations accepted, and they move on to other jobs in government or with companies that have connections to their former bosses..

That's the way it WORKS in politics..

The Clintons did not invent a "new way"..
