President-elect Donald Trump is scrambling to line up senior officials to run the government’s sprawling intelligence and homeland security bureaucracy. Team Trump is struggling to fill numerous key slots or even attract many candidates because hundreds have either sworn they’d never work in a Trump administration or have directly turned down requests to join, multiple current and former U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the transition efforts told The Daily Beast.
Team Trump didn’t expect to win until the campaign’s internal polling a month before the election signaled a possible victory. That’s when senior Trump officials went into overdrive, trying to build a bench of experienced national security candidates with top secret clearances willing to work for a Trump presidency—and they met resistance across the landscape of experienced GOP national security professionals. One person who met last month with Trump’s national security and homeland security transition team leader said that she confessed that many candidates had flatly rejected attempts to recruit them, believing that Trump was unfit to hold the office of commander in chief.
“She said that it was going to be very difficult to fill positions in that space because everybody that had experience was a never-Trumper,” this person said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.
“She wasn’t even sure that she was going to be able to fill a transition team,” much less find people to serve in government positions, this person said.
“In theory, 20 people are supposed to parachute into the Department of Homeland Security [during the transition between administrations]. And I don’t think they have anybody to do it.”
It was clear the Trump team would have trouble staffing their national security bench nine months ago, when more than 100 Republican national security leaders signed an open letter vowing not to support him as the GOP nominee and “working energetically to prevent the election of someone so utterly unfitted to the office.”
“Everybody who has signed a never-Trump letter or indicated an anti-Trump attitude is not going to get a job. And that’s most of the Republican foreign policy, national security, intelligence, homeland security, and Department of Justice experience,” Paul Rosenzweig, who held a senior position at the Department of Homeland Security in the George W. Bush administration, told The Daily Beast.
Last week, former CIA and NSA Director Michael Hayden went so far as to accuse Trump of being a tool of the Russian government. Trump had consistently refused to agree with the U.S. intelligence community's unanimous assessment that Russia was responsible for a campaign of cyber attacks and leaks against the Democratic Party, which officials said was intended to “interfere” with Tuesday’s election.
“Rejecting a fact-based intelligence assessment—not because of compelling contrarian data, but because it is inconsistent with a preexisting worldview—that’s the stuff of ideological authoritarianism, not pragmatic democracy. And it is frightening,” Hayden wrote.

Nonsense.....why give any credence to persons "speaking on condition of anonymity".....
There are hundreds of people that would be qualified for any given position of gov. service....ready, willing and able to work with Trump.....
I'd like to see the pinhead type holding those high paid cushy jobs quit if they hate Trump so much....that will make Trumps job
of 'draining the swamp' that much easier....
Put blame where it belongs
ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.
any bets that trump will not be able to fill up the slots?
He should make Kim Kardashian a national security officer.

How many anonymous anti-Hillary persons did YOU believe? The answer is, all of them. The article says newer and less-qualified people will have to take positions that senior level people left. And Paul Rosenzweig, a former senior official at DHS, weighed in on the matter, not anonymously.
I love toadies like you parroting the meme about draining the swamp, when trump picked one of those long-time swamp critters to be his running mate.

Trump is taking names silently, and every one of these people who will not serve their country will be fired immediately after he is sworn in. There are plenty of decent deplorables to take their places.
U R retarded aren't you? that's why you watch CNN and believe their comedy.
LOL Loser
Don't answer the retard, he still has his Hillary victory banner up in his yard

'Drain the swamp'
'Crooked Hillary'
'Make America Great Again'
'Make America Safe Again'
'Lying Hillary'
unforgettable.....
