Advisers to President Donald Trump are urging him to purge the government of former President Barack Obama's political appointees and quickly install more people who are loyal to him, amid a cascade of damaging stories that have put his nascent administration in seemingly constant crisis-control mode.

A number of his advisers believe Obama officials are behind the leaks and are seeking to undermine his presidency, with just the latest example coming from reports that Attorney General Jeff Sessions met twice last year with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. and apparently misled senators about the interactions during his confirmation hearing.

Less talk, more action!

YES. Obama is counting on the GOP responding to his sabotage in their typical flaccid manner.

Run 'em all out now.

Whats the worst the media could say about it?

Time to ex-lax the approach to Executive Branch leakers.

Do it this afternoon, and watch it steal the thunder from the Russian situation on the Sunday shows. That's how Obama played the media for 8 years.

They were idiots for not purging the ranks as the first order of business once in power. Who in their right mind thinks that anyone that served under Obama by appointment is a neutral individual when it comes to politics? Obama purged the neutrals along with the right leaning long ago.

[Frank Cannon]

The fact that this is being debated is a serious problem.

Lets hope the administration has already identified those to go in the first round.

As someone else said, they'd be idiots to not have planned for this first thing.

They should be gone yesterday if not before.  Unless they are in some kind of protected positions, in which case they should be gone tomorrow.

How dare they reveal ethical lapses in Trumplandia!

We need to keep our corruptions in-house!
