Donald Trump campaigned on the pledge to “Drain the Swamp” in Washington.
Now that his administration is being undermined by leaks suspected to be coming from Obama holdovers, it’s now more vital than ever that Trump take action.
And Attorney General Jeff Sessions has made the first move in Trump’s quest to drain the swamp.
Attorney General Sessions asked for the resignation of the remaining 46 U.S. attorneys who were holdovers from the Obama administration.
Politico reports:
“President Donald Trump’s administration asked all remaining U.S. attorneys appointed by President Barack Obama to offer their resignations Friday, setting off confusion about the impact of the move and prompting warnings from Democrats that abrupt changes could undermine law enforcement.
“The Attorney General has now asked the remaining 46 presidentially appointed U.S. Attorneys to tender their resignations in order to ensure a uniform transition,” Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Flores said in a statement Friday. “Until the new U.S. Attorneys are confirmed, the dedicated career prosecutors in our U.S. Attorney’s Offices will continue the great work of the Department in investigating, prosecuting, and deterring the most violent offenders.”
Flores initially declined to comment when asked if the prosecutors had to leave their posts right away, but said later Friday that the resignations were to be “effective immediately.”
The removal of U.S. attorneys has been politically fraught for years, with the midterm dismissal of eight chief federal prosecutors in December 2006 causing a firestorm that ultimately led to the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Friday’s move to dismiss the political appointees of a previous administration seemed more routine, but the timing and scope of such dismissals have often led to charges and counter-charges that they violated prior precedents.”
It is routine for an incoming administration to ask political appointees to resign.
But previous administrations kept holdovers on until their replacements were confirmed.
The Clinton administration also asked for resignations in March of their first year in office.

However, those previous administrations never had to face bureaucrats adopting a war footing like the Trump administration has been forced to deal with.
Obama loyalists burrowed in the government have engaged in an aggressive war to damage and delegitimize the Trump administration.
But Trump supporters urged the President to purge Obama political appointees – which is well within his right – sooner rather than later.
Sean Hannity also pleaded with Trump to remove Obama loyalists from the administration before they inflicted permanent damage on his presidency.
Fox News reported:
“Sean Hannity thinks President Donald Trump should fire all the “deep state, Obama holdover” government bureaucrats because many are “hell-bent” on destroying his presidency.
“It’s time for the Trump administration to begin to purge these saboteurs before it’s too late,” Hannity said in his opening monologue tonight.
He pointed out that President Abraham Lincoln fired more than 78 percent of executive branch employees during his presidency.
“It’s time now for President Trump to follow Abraham Lincoln’s example and fire anyone and everyone who’s actively working against him in government,” Hannity said.
“It’s very important for President Trump to act right now,” Hannity said. “He’s got to end the leaks that are plaguing this administration.”
“My message tonight is simple: Every holdover from the Obama administration, they need to go.”
Outstanding!
Keep up the good work, Mr. President. Get rid of the scumbag, traitors in our government.
Keep draining the swamp of the DEMORATS,DEMOCROOKS and RINOS!!
And BUREAUCRATS!!!!!!!!!
Great job Mr. President now keep on going and get us term limits.
There is no reason for any Obama appointees to be involved in government service any longer – especially in light of Obama’s publicly saying he will do everything in his power to impede President Trump. That act of sedition alone should have Obama arrested. But for those who still defend the impostor have a look at this

Who is the small child Stanley Anne is holding on her lap????
I have no idea? But here is an interview with his brother in Kenya
http://nation.foxnews.com/2015/04/26/bombshell-interview-obama-s-brother-says-barack-cold-and-ruthless-dishonest-and-schemer
There is a video of O’s brother showing a Kenyan Birth Certificate. (don’t know the link)

Yes, that is good.
I kinda think Frankie Marshall or the Sibu character be the baby daddy.
I always thought it was Frank Davis but this new photo kind of blows it out of the water. It made sense for him to be born in Kenya out of the way of prying eyes. Remember in 1961 there were still “whites only” signs on bathroom doors and water fountains. A white girl with a black baby was unheard of. I’ve been saying if abortion had been as readily available then as now we probably would have never heard of Barry Obama – Soetoro or whatever his name is.
There is so much controversy surrounding him and hidden/sealed records fortunately he did not cover all of his bases and some info is t=still out there. Now that he is out of the White House maybe more will pop up or people – like his brother will talk. This is crazy – I have always heard this but blew it off as B.S. but now I’m not so sure. There are also several video clips of Obama speaking at events where he slips and says “Michael and I” – but this is medical evidence if true
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMYTlPADgk0
All O’s medical, grade school, scholarship, all college transcripts, library cards, CicagoState Senate records have been sealed and buried. Who is the REAL Barak Hussein Obama, or whatever his real name is?
There is a video of Michelle on a talk show and the audience is asking questions. A little girl asked Michelle when her and Obama were married – she was stumped. She couldn’t even come up with what decade they were married.
Yep, heard that one too…..about “Michael and I”……….Who makes that kind of slip when you have been married (?) for 20 years……
I saw that and copied it…………Got that sight from someone on another story in the comment section………….
OBAMAS1/2 SISTER……….
He must un-appoint every Obama planted snake at all positions possible. They are pit vipers in the grass.
Drain that swamp.
In a delicious twist of irony, US Attorney US General Jeff Sessions – the man who is ASKING the remaining 46
US Attorneys appointed by FORMER president Obama to resign – WAS ONE OF 93 US Attorneys summarily FIRED by FORMER president Bill Clinton as soon as ‘his’ AG (Janet Reno) took office.
When a new president comes into office, they fire the previous US attorneys. Nothing unusual about that.
Sessions is, I believe, the first ‘fired US Attorney’ to subsequently land in the US Attorney General seat, albeit some twenty-plus years or so later.
Ge them out of there . As long as they are in office , Obama will will them what to leak and look for that will do the democrats some good . Have no sympathy , fire them .
You get rid of ALL ENEMY left over from last camp !!!!!
He should also drain the swamp of all of the liberal mainstream press. Not just CNN. While hes at it he should reach out & drain the swamp of the liberals in Hollywood. That would be around 99% of them.
That is a good step in the right direction. Now, Sessions must continue draining the huge swamp in the Justice Department, and Tillerson must start draining the State Department, and then continue with the EPA–drain it of ALL personnel and shut it down, along with the Department of Education and the Department of Commerce and you’ll have all the revenue you need for Infrastructure, build a wall, give a tax deduction, improve the military, build new VA hospitals and shut down some.
And FIRE the VA bureaucrats that took down the portraits brought and hung by the double amputee US Rep. Fire them and make sure they don’t get retirement benefits. Then do the same to any other VA bureaucrats that “don’t see Trump as their President”. I would have him change the Department of Education into a Re-Education Department for holdover communists/progressives whose main function would be to financially ruin them starting with the Klinton foundation and including college administrators that institute (very small) “free speech zones” and primary skkkool administrators that call the cops on a boy kissing a girl. Sooooo many things have gone wrong. My idea of ‘diversity training’ would be offering the choice of breathing oxygen to people that know to mind their own business or carbon monoxide to control freaks (those that don’t, in other words, like muslimes).
This is old news…
The label on the cork which keeps the swamp filled says: PEDOGATE!
STOP THE JEWISH MAFIA EMPIRE THAT ARE EMPOWERING ANTI AMERICA ANTI CHRIST ENEMIES TO AMERICA. HOLLYWOOD JEWS A THREAT TO USA
I’m sorry would you please return to your time machine and go back to 1945 Berlin!
The truth is hurting you . You must be Jewish? Hollywood run by Jews who control the Media that are trying to destroy Trump. Look up the sale of the Orlando Navy Base. Also the USS LIBERTY .
Nope not Jewish at all, Atheist raised Southern Baptist. Trump is doing a good enough job destroying his credibility all by himself, the media doesn’t need to do anything except report what he tweets.
I agree with the tweets. But Trumps agenda’s are being attack without hardly any opposition in the media. The Jewish media gives their agenda the most air time. All day long the Jews bash America and Trump. You know your a bad man because of slavery and not liking homosexuals .
you go back to your boyfriend,asshole
Why don’t you grow up and act like a human being rather than a petulant brat.
Our last three Presidents before Trump were control by Jews like Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker , Walt Disney Co and other Jewish Lobbyist from Israel. Helen Thomas, Congessman Jim Traficant , Reverend Billy Graham and others warned us about the JEWISH MAFIA EMPIRE. Who murdered JFK and his brother Bobby? Who attack the USS LIBERTY killing and wounding 208 American Sailors? “ISRAEL”!
Don’t forgot to include Trump, since his son-in-law is Jewish along with his daughter Ivanka, whose Jewish name is Yael after her conversion to Orthodox Judaism.
Ivanka converted. I am not talking about good Jewish Americans just the ones who are the DEVIL.
Aren’t they all in on the conspiracy? How can you tell the “good” Jewish Americans from the “bad” Jewish Americans, is it some sort of secret handshake or something?
It’s the same for good cop bad cop. Good judge bad judge. And so on. You can not tell the difference by looking at them. The bad Jews control the money and the media. Read about USS LIBERTY. The NY TIMES lied about the attack. Hollywood are enemies to our country. Anything bad for USA is supported by Jewish Hollywood.
don,t forget your wife or boyfriend standing on the street corner,nerd
why are they still there??? drain the swamp immediately, time for every obozo holdover to be GONE!!!
Get rid of the bums. Everyone of them – Term limits Next Please
If they don’t resign just fire them. You gave them a fair chance they seem to be blowing it.
Obama was a cocaine user and pusher who hung around gay bath houses in Chicago . PERFECT PRESIDENT FOR HOLLYWOOD HOMOSEXUAL JEWS LIKE DISNEY AND JEWISH PENNY PRITZKER. Go read about Larry Sinclair and Obama. JEWISH MAFIA EMPIRE KILLING USA!
All newly elected presidents get rid of the predecessors trash!!
WAKE UP FOLKS! They call it Obamacare to take the focus off all of our other crooked politicians. 20 Republicans voted to fund Obamacare. All Democrats voted for Obamacare. We have a crooked dangerous government and the Jewish Media are. Brainwashing you. Both parties are crooked. Look what Bush did in Iraq and today 16 years we are still in the Middle East. We are 20 TRILLION DOLLARS in debt . It is more then one gay drug addict black man that is killing America.
Drain it hell, it needs to be flushed.
BELOWIS WHAT JEWS AND OUR CROOKED GOV HAVE DONE TO AMERICA:
They have torn our borders open, permitting, indeed cheering, the Third World dregs who will soon replace us as the majority. The Javitzes, the Lautenbergs and Cellers meticulously designed the legislation (Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965) that will genocide us. They have done all this while simultaneously-and with no sense of irony-supporting Israel’s “Jews-only” immigration policy.
President Trump continue doing the great job you are doing. Don’t let those demoRATS stop your progress
Don’t treat this lightly,
This is a deadly serious war against President Trump as his administration tries to rip our country out of the Neocon’s evil grips and as WikiLeaks is simultaneously and independently exposing the Deep State Neocons.
Neocons pay 10,000 Euros to each invader into Europe (over 70% young males) with promises of young blondes starving to have their children for Allah …
Those same Neocon agents are fighting the border walls and any ban to ghetto resettlement into USA.
Please search & read “64 Ways Obama is Sabotaging Trump” and “Color Revolution”. !!!
And add Paul Ryan, he has said he will never defend you, so who needs him? Dump him, if possible, otherwise change his title.

FINALLY, PRESIDENT IS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE THAT WANT TO DESROY OUR COUNTRY. THANK GOD!
IF YOU HAVE A CANCEROUS TUMOR, YOU CUT IT OUT, THAT IS WHAT IS NEEDED INOUR GOVERNMENT.
But the Clinton Administration fired people and then set out to destroy their lives and any chance of jobs. If people in govt positions are going to actively undermine the present Administration because they don’t like them then they should be fired. Govt people are supposed to be working for the people ,not their party.
Now if he’ll instigate term limits for Congress ,the House of Rep, and Supreme Court Justices we mike clean up this country.
I was falsely accused of a felony in Orlando Fl. Walt Disney Co were involved. My wife and I went to the FBI only to find out they are crooked to . I believe they were in Disney pockets. I could not get a decent job. Make no mistake we have a very dangerous government who are very much ANTI AMERICAN AND ANTI CHRIST. Let’s hope they don’t kill Trump like they did JFK and his brother and even Jimmy Hoffa. WAKE UP FOLKS YOU ARE LIVING IN A JEWISH FALSE ECONOMY !
WALT DISNEY CO THE TROJAN HORSE TO FEAR!
The Jews destroying our country should be put on trial and make them pay for what they have done to our country. The damage done is no different then bombing America. WAKE UP FOLKS. We have a crooked government . Do not blame Russia for hacking , blame our incompetent agencies like FBI CIA SS and others who are wasting our money. 9/11 ? Vietnam ? 16 year Middle East War ? 20 TRILLION IN DEBT ? YOUR COUNTRY IS UNDER ATTACK .
