DeStefano is also expected to lead the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs — making him responsible for maintaining the White House's relationships with state legislators, governors, tribal leaders, mayors, and other political leaders across the country.

1. How about shuffling trump out of the white house

that's the only shuffle i care about.

[PragmaticDem]

2. Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic is not going to help them.

[MFM008]

3. There will be lots of new positions

Available in November

[WhiteTara]

4. The Cabal gets smaller and smaller every day.

Soon it will be Trump and Hope Hicks.

[Scarsdale]

5. Hope is needed to

steam his suits when he wears them. She would be difficult to replace, since well, WHO would want that job? who is in charge of Russian Affairs, Ivanka?

[WhiteTara]

11. That job is now in the air

since Jared got caught red handed. Ivanka? Maybe, but I'm sure Donald likes being petted by Putin himself so he is taking that job as his own...

Oleg Derepaska and Ryiobaldy (not his real name) were with Trump during xmas.

6. it's telling that no new blood is coming in.....

to replace all the spilled blood that is on the way down the drain.

It's almost as if nobody wants to be a senior white house staff member..........

[Igel]

7. I'll wait for them to name the vacancy left by Tillerson's firing last month.

Otherwise, I'll wait for official announcements.

[SWBTATTReg]

8. Again???

How many times is enough? What's the matter, can't get enough qualified American workers to do the job? eh??

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Understand the so called Staffers

have updated their Resumes to include twelve months of Employment rather than anything less. Watch for a major Staff exist in mid to late February. With lead and lag time in Payroll,they would get their full year Salary.

10. "responsible for maintaining the White House's relationships"

What "relationships"? He's pretty much pissed off almost every elected official.

[thesquanderer]

13. Maintaining those relationships takes a lot of effort.

You think it's easy to keep everyone pissed off?

[BumRushDaShow]

14. One Drumpf tweet is enough. I suppose the person in this position goes on an apology tour. nt

[thesquanderer]

12. Scoop? It would be more surprising if there were NO reshuffling in the new year. (n/t)

[Marie Marie]

16. Took the words right out of my mouth.

Scoop? This has been ongoing. I hear that Trump is going to install a revolving door - much easier that way.

[DeminPennswoods]

15. The Rick Wilson Theory

"Everything Trump touches dies." Whatever positive professional reputation DeStefano has will likely be in tatters within a few months time.

[marble falls]

17. How do they shuffle it any more than they've been shuffling it from day one??? Has there ever been..

an administration that's been shuffled, reshuffled, and rereshuffled than the Orange Shitgibbon's administration?????

[Hortensis]

18. The KOCHS' Axios? What's their purpose in pushing this?

This "news" source is very well connected all right, so well connected it was being quoted everywhere was soon as launched. But never trust them.
