#1 How open will the bureaucrats be to explaining to Trump's transition team that the last 8 years of violent extremism focus has been on the tea party and white Christian Americans and not toward Islamic fascism?

#4 Remember that this is 'Rooters'. The request most likely was part of a much larger 'duty listing' questionnaire that would be very typical when new management takes over a company in the private world. Not as common in Government.

They're only gleaning one aspect for their hysteria.

#5 transition team has asked two Cabinet departments for the names of government officials working on programs to counter violent extremism

Remember to include contractors and outside consultants (which in this administration included members of the Muslim Brotherhood).

#8 Seems like first order of business is to ensure everyone is doing necessary work. Anyone who's been through a corporate merger knows how this goes.

Nice to see it applied to government.

#11 I sense panic rising among the swamp creatures throughout the DC area - as well it should be.

#12 Some career officials said they feared the incoming administration may be looking to undo the work that the Obama administration has done on countering violent extremism.
