The REAL news is the FACT the "Russian" hackers were actually democrats in the DHS hacking in to the elections.
The Department of Energy said Tuesday it will reject the request by President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team to name staffers who worked on climate change programs.
[SNIP for brevity]
Laws and regulations regarding civil service workers make it illegal to fire or punish workers for political purposes, even when an administration changes.
How the author got from "they told their CEO to get bent" to "they can't be fired for political reasons is inexplicable. Who do these clowns think they are--the VA?
Then again, if you think DOE is bad, wait until you see Department of State. It will be a full-blown Denial of Service. Please pass the popcorn.

How many millions were spent on that recount?
Hope it was worth it.

IBM unveils plan to hire 25,000 in US on eve of Trump meeting

US technology giant IBM said Tuesday it would hire 25,000 people in the country over the next four years, a day before President-elect Donald Trump meets with tech industry leaders.
About 6,000 of those hirings will occur in 2017, IBM chief executive Ginni Rometty said in an opinion article published in the newspaper USA Today.
IBM, which has undertaken in recent years a restructuring of its activities, will invest $1 billion on employee training and development in the next four years, said the IBM president, chairman and CEO.

"We are hiring because the nature of work is evolving -- and that is also why so many of these jobs remain hard to fill," Rometty said, noting that many industries were being reshaped by data science and cloud computing.
"Jobs are being created that demand new skills -- which in turn requires new approaches to education, training and recruiting," she said.
"This is not about white collar vs. blue collar jobs, but about the 'new collar' jobs that employers in many industries demand, but which remain largely unfilled."
Rometty is a member of Trump's Strategic and Policy Forum, a group of US business leaders focused on boosting economic growth and jobs.
The IBM jobs investment news came before the highly anticipated meeting Wednesday of the Republican property tycoon-turned-next US president and the leaders of several major technology companies.
Among those expected to attend are Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Apple's Tim Cook, Satya Nadella of Microsoft, Larry Page of Alphabet (Google) and Elon Musk of Tesla and SpaceX, according to US media.
Trump is expected to push them to create jobs after saying last week that he would like Apple -- whose coveted iPhones are made in China -- to open a large factory in the United States.
But he will be stepping into hostile territory. The tech sector overwhelmingly supported the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton during this year's election campaign and has expressed fear about the effect Trump's policies will have on the industry.
The sole notable exception is the controversial PayPal co-founder and early Facebook investor Peter Thiel, currently a member of Trump's transition team. ***LINK***

This must be what Obama is talking about, the Russians and the election.
You're fired. As a matter of fact, just go ahead and fire all of them since they 1) Don't want to cooperate, and 2) Are worthless as tits on a bull. It all starts January 21st...

Perhaps all the non-cooperative EPA administrators can be transferred to the North Dakota field office. You know. The building with no insulation and no heat.
God Bless and Protect our Beloved President, Donald John Trump.

go back to the Federal Registers and the NPRMs include the names of authors and contacts
for those that decided they didn't want to say what they worked on, its probably safe to say they didn't work on anything
so fire them, sue them for their wages for the past 8 years and eliminate their pensions
one way to deal with these assholes is to make them examples for others
and the EPA is a great organization to use as an example
