Reply to comment by hegotthedream in Biden fires Architect of the Capitol after calls for his resignation by Picture-unrelated

There were TONS of people in Washington who worked in government jobs that served multiple administrations. It was actually Trump who broke the mold and him and his cronies went on massive firing spree's to basically rid departments of any liberal minded people.

He literally kept Eric holder and Salley Yates on as AG so if he was doing that he was pretty fucking shit at it lol

You’re literally making stuff up. Holder left AG before Trump was even elected back in 2015 and was replaced by Loretta Lynch. Then Yates served as interim AG while the Senate confirmed Jeff Sessions.

Yates was then fired before Sessions was confirmed because she wouldn’t sign off on Trump’s travel ban from Arab countries. That was like a week into his Presidency.

Sorry yeah Loretta lynch not holder. Stayed on for a year into the presidency. Just figured if he was purging lynch would be first to go and Yates wouldn’t have even been sat

Nope. Yates was the interim after Lynch was relieved after Trump was inaugurated. It went Holder, Lynch, Yates (like a week), some other dude for 3 days, and then Jeff Sessions.

Lynch was removed on inauguration day in 2017, and Yates was fired on Jan 30th, so 10 days.

Lynch was ag into 2017 that’s all I posted and I get blown up with ass mad reddit posts. Trump left her AG into the next year and left Yates as her interim. Those are both correct statements.

Nah you’re right I’m confused. Post the year lynch left office maybe I’m misremembering.

Inauguration marks beginning of new administration. It takes place ~Jan 20 following the election, so Nov 2016 election = Jan 2017 Trump. The time between the election and inauguration is for peaceful transfer of power.*

*Until recently
