Deep state? 78 Obama appointees 'burrowed' in gov't, report says

They all need to be rooted out and let go, most of them only have one goal be obstructionist and leak information.

I'd love to hear the words "you're fired" more often with regards to the swamp.

Actually, the GAO report looked at the time period from January 1, 2010 to March 17, 2016 (well prior to most political appointees knowing who would be elected in Nov 2016).

The GAO report does not state that that any of these individuals approved for career government jobs were not qualified for those jobs.

Here is the GAO report:

What GAO Found
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) approved 78 of 99 requests to convert political appointees to career positions agencies proposed to complete from January 1, 2010, through March 17, 2016. OPM denied 21 requests for varying reasons, such as bypassing qualified veterans, and referred 9 denied cases to the Office of Special Counsel (OSC). Of the 78 approved requests, agencies followed through and converted 69 political appointees to career positions. During the period, agencies completed 7 conversions without obtaining OPM approval; OPM completed post-appointment reviews for 4 of these 7 conversions, denying all 4. For each of the 4 denied cases, the agencies undertook various remedies, such as readvertising positions, in response to
OPM’s concerns.
OPM did not complete a review for the 3 other conversions because the appointees were no longer in the career positions to which they were converted.
