Legislation to insure Senate Intelligence Committee gets access, I think not.  The public has funded and been waiting two years for this thing to finish.  Total public access is required.  Intelligence committee members would end up providing leaks showing only what is favorable or unfavorable to their political agenda.  Let's see the full report and go from there.  Naturally most Americans will not read the report as I am sure after two years of investigation it will contain crap no one cares about.  Bottom line for me is whether there is evidence of collusion between Trump and the Russians. I'm talking about things other than emails through Wikileaks, etc.  The report better show pretty conclusive evidence of actual collusion of people.  So far what has been seen looks like a few campaign hangers-on have tried to use their positions for their own benefit not actual collusion.  Of course the news agencies will only report those sections of the report that favor their take on Trump so in the end, I hope the whole things gets published for the public to read. 

yep make the whole report public plus declassification of fisa applications,

unredacted fbi text msgs  and anything and everyone else connected.

you gotta love this quote

"Senator Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the committee, said she needed to know more about how Barr will handle the report."

She has to confirm his nomination to find out how he will handle the report.

"Alexander Downer was asking me a lot of questions about what Trump would do about Huawei if elected president. The US just filed criminal charges against the Chinese company, Downer used to be on the board of, for committing espionage against the US. Think."

Papadopoulos

Guess who was on the Board of Directors of Huawei? None other than Alexander Downer!!!

Yes that Alexander Downer of the Papadopoulos conversation, that FBI used as their excuse to begin surveillance on Trump and members of his campaign.

5.7 billion dollars divided by 230 miles divided by 5280 feet per mile  = a little over 4,700 dollars (150,000 baht)  per foot.  I thought that Trump was the master builder.  The number is more than 10 times higher than it should be for a steel slatted wall and if Pelosi gives in he will close down the government again in September when next years budget must be submitted by throwing another temper tantrum to get what he wants!

add in height and you'll have a rough sqf cost allowance 4700/30feet=157/sqf

now consider build quality requirements and location and make your bid.

LMAO

Not unrelated. The point was to show that there is a lot of turnover in the SES since by the conclusion of Obama's term that 65 percent under Bush who hadn't been in the department for a presidential turnover became 70 percent under Obama. As the article pointed out there's always lots of churn. So it's unlikely that there is anything currently like 70 percent of appointments made by Obama as you claimed. In other words, the reference was entirely pertinent.

Its not pertinent, as my comment was about removing SES from past admin via RIF procedures after a fulough past 30 days. 

Thats the main point. 

You tried to deviate from that and make noise about some exact number just to attack. which I understand you cannot help yourself.

slow down dude and you'll improve reading comprehension????

I'll try for one last time. You used the present tense. "Maybe entire depts is the plan, especially SES of which the   2/3 are Obama hires".  You didn't write "2/3 were Obama hires as of Jan 20, 2017." This won't be the first time you denied what was was written in plain English.  

and you presented some unrelated  2007_2008 numbers.???? nice try

Or maybe you should read again what you wrote. Here is it for your edification:

"Maybe entire depts is the plan, especially SES of which the   2/3 are Obama hires

and the other 1/3 would have a longer length of service."

You'll notice you used the present tense. "2/3 are Obama hires". Not were Obama hires as of jan 20, 2017.

If bulk of SES were Obama hires  as of Dec. 2016 when article was written,

then they would still be Obama hires a month later on inauguration day of Jan.20 2017.

like I said slow down.

It's good to read past the headlines.

"But the fact that most current senior executives will mark According to OPM, 65.8 percent of the SES in 2007 and 2008 had not been through a presidential transition as senior executives before Obama took office.

“We are transitioning all the time, whether it’s the [presidential] transition or not,” said Jason Briefel, legislative director at the Senior Executives Association."

 

Even better if you have reading comprehension. Slow down Bboy I was not commenting on who had transition experience.????

just stating that SES COULD be wrecked by Trump vis RIF as 2016 article states

"The bulk of the current career Senior Executive Service – composed of roughly 7,000 individuals across the executive branch – were appointed to the SES during the past seven years during the Obama administration"

Cannot pick and choose. There is a process. Veterans have first priority, length of service is second, and last in the determination of who goes is job performance. Of course, entire departments could go, such as Education, Commerce, HUD, Energy, HHS.

Maybe entire depts is the plan, especially SES of which the   2/3 are Obama hires

and the other 1/3 would have a longer length of service.

So, he has a list of political enemies from each affected department?   He's going to target them?   These are by and large ordinary working people, not policy makers.   According to Trump they support him!

Well Im saying it's a possibility with shutdown furloughs. There are people that work against new administrations like in doj by draggin their feet to process requests for documents etc.

Fed employees are difficult to fire but procedures for long furloughs allow for select people to be called back to work, while some may be let go. Usually under budget reasons so im not sure about current situation. its called RIF procedure.
