If he wins re-election next month, President Donald Trump is planning a massive culling of some of his key appointees, says a new report by Axios’ Jonathan Swan andAlayna Treene.

The heads lined up on the metaphorical chopping block reportedly include FBI Director Christopher Wray, CIA Director Gina Haspel, and Defense Secretary Mark Esper.

Two people who have discussed these officials’ fates with Trump were the sources for the story, and said that the president would have fired these officials already if not for what Axios described as the “political headaches” of doing so before the election.

Wray and Haspel are “despised and distrusted almost universally in Trump’s inner circle,” write Swan and Treene, and a victory on November 3rd would “embolden” Trump to purge anyone he views as disloyal, or who is unable or unwilling to execute his preferred policies.

It is common for presidents who are re-elected for a second term to shuffle around some key officials and bring in new faces to help guide their agenda for their final years in office, but removing the heads of America’s main intelligence and security agencies all at the same time is raising eyebrows.

Trump has also expressed dissatisfaction with other top officials in his administration, including Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos and Attorney General Bill Barr, although Axios’ sources said that he had not yet made any “formal plan” to fire them, and was focusing his ire on Wray, Haspel, and Esper.

Unsurprisingly, a core factor in the president’s desire to replace these officials is their failure to blindly follow Trump in some of the conspiracy theory-fueled investigations he has sought to launch against political opponents. For example, Wray refused to launch an investigation into Hunter Biden’s foreign business activities and testified in September that the FBI had not seen evidence of widespread fraud related to mail-in ballots, and Haspel has opposed efforts by Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe to declassify documents that Trump believes show how government officials “spied” on his campaign.

Anyone who does survive the pending November purge should expected even more “loyalty tests” moving forward, noted Axios, the culmination of ongoing efforts since February to drive out “Never Trumpers” and other insufficiently loyal bureaucrats.

Officially, the White House is denying these reports. “We have no personnel announcements at this time nor would it be appropriate to speculate about changes after the election or in a 2nd term,” White House spokesman Judd Deere said to Axios.
 
WITH 9 DAYS LEFT EARLY VOTING IN 2020 HAS SURPASSED 2016
More than 58.7 million Americans have voted so far, according to a survey of election officials in all 50 states and Washington, DC, by CNN, Edison Research and Catalist.

In 2016, around 58.3 million pre-election ballots were cast, including ballots in the three vote-by-mail states that year, according to a CNN analysis. That early vote accounted for about 42% of all ballots cast in the 2016 presidential election.



I was supposed to vote the other day. I wanted to wait till Nov 3 cuz my precinct right behind my house
 


I get the point that he's trying to make, but he's neglecting to acknowledge that white supremacists are out there actively trying to stop blacks from voting because even they believe the black vote matters. So, blacks voting is also an act of defiance against white supremacy even if Tariq doesn't agree with it.
