Working at the White House used to be a proud and wonderful experience - now, not so much. Everyone is hiding to not be caught up in the Pres Trump Scandal Machine.
from the reports coming from staffers, these people sound more like they’ve been sentenced to a gulag.
And it’s only going to get worse. If there’s one thing that can kill morale, it’s a scandal. And the Trump White House is breeding scandals like the place was a bunny hutch. The WH counsel has already ordered that no documents dealing with the campaign be destroyed, but so what. John Dean did the same thing during Watergate, and the order was completely ignored. But Nixon had a dedicated, political staff in place, Hair Furor has nothing of the sort. And worse, he has proven over and over again that he has no loyalty to anyone but himself. At least some of these staffers, in their political innocence, may feel compelled to save those documents. What if a couple of FBI agents show up, and start going from office to office, talking to people and asking for documents. These staffers may not even really know what’s in some of them, nor understand the import of the content, but their possession of these documents could put them under scrutiny. And all of this in a shitty work environment?
To my simple mind, the most important door in Washington D.C. right now is the side door to the White House. If you start seeing a steady stream of people you’ve seldom if ever seen before, walking out with satchels or cardboard boxes, never to be seen again, then you know that the investigation is picking up steam. And considering that I’ve seen nobody in the Trump administration even remotely capable of carrying out anything even near a Nixonian coverup, it could start getting messy in a hurry.
