In the United States you can elect any president you want, but a small group of people you’ve never heard of still run everything — year after year, administration after administration. That’s not democracy. It’s oligarchy, and Mark Moyar explains exactly how it works.
—Tucker Carlson
This book tells a remarkable true story of bureaucratic assassination during the Trump presidency, revealing in vivid detail how career federal employees thwarted President Trump’s efforts to drain the swamp.
Mark Moyar, a senior political appointee at the US Agency for International Development, discovered evidence of corruption involving five career bureaucrats and reported it to agency officials in 2018. Senior bureaucrats orchestrated a sophisticated retaliatory plot, which began when a Special Operations general fraudulently accused Moyar of divulging classified information, and ended with the termination of Moyar's employment.
The bureau that Moyar had been on track to lead, with an annual budget exceeding $300 million, fell into the hands of one of his bureaucratic assassins. The leading perpetrator of the corruption exposed by Moyar subsequently escaped punishment by transferring to another federal agency.
A multi-agency cover-up followed. Moyar sought help from three Offices of the Inspector General—the government’s main bulwarks against whistleblower retaliation—but all three conducted flimsy investigations that absolved the bureaucracy. When Senator Charles Grassley demanded that agency officials fill the gaps in the government’s story, he was met with lies and evasions.
This suspense-filled drama provides an insider’s view of the federal bureaucracy’s corruption, its weaponization of bureaucratic procedures, and its failures to protect employees from retaliation. In telling his story, Moyar reveals how future administrations can drain the swamp and draws a roadmap for the restoration of integrity to the United States government...

And how they'll do it again.

The Federal Bureaucracy will slow walk conservative agenda items.
In such a situation, Federal agencies might be in need of "re-organization" to "better allign with its mission". New managerial hierarchy and positions that require people to apply or to re-apply for their jobs. Shake up the bureaucratic snow globe to move the pieces around.
The next time there is a Republican President with a Republican Congress, they will avail themselves to accomplish more than passing corporate tax cuts.

The federal government bureaucracy needs to be reduced by a minimum of two thirds!

And how they'll do it again.
:yowsa: If WE allow it, that is a certainty.

For starters.
Money is the source of their power. Cut off the money, and you take away their power.
