Jeffrey Eisenach, a consultant who has worked for years on behalf of Verizon and other telecommunications clients, is the head of the team that is helping to pick staff members at the Federal Communications Commission.

Michael Catanzaro, a lobbyist whose clients include Devon Energy and Encana Oil and Gas, holds the “energy independence” portfolio.

Michael Torrey, a lobbyist who runs a firm that has earned millions of dollars helping food industry players such as the American Beverage Association and the dairy giant Dean Foods, is helping set up the new team at the Department of Agriculture.

Edit: I've been messaged by the mods telling me that after a month and a half later, and pages and pages of responses, I need to add commentary to my OP. So here it goes:

Based on these initial appointments, I predict that Trump will continue to assign questionable appointees to significant positions within his administration that will do nothing to drain the swamp and he will break yet another promise to those that supported him and voted for him but they will say nothing about it and go along their merry way.

Also I predict he will do nothing about "lock her up" and they will also go along their merry way.

It's hard to keep track of what people say nowadays.
One day the sky is blue, the next it's green.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

he means what he says, right?

 

[Homerboy]

Funny how the Trump supporters haven't chimed in.
Are you guys Ok with these appointments?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

they're far too busy alpha'ing it up in the gloating threads.

Like this should be a surprise?

I guess he didn't necessarily specify whether he was just draining it to make room for a different mixture of sewage?

 

[Caesar]

His choices for all various appointments have been very questionable so far. Steve Bannon for WH COS, Myron Ebell for EPA, Rudy, Newt, Trey etc. Swamp is draining big time with all these new faces.

Pence and Trump's kids will now lead the transition team. Draining not found

and it's day 2. let that sink in. day 2... he'd drain the swamp, but he'd have no-one left in his cabinet.

Colbert has the best line I have heard so far- It is exactly what he would expect to find at the bottom of a drained swamp.

They're letting you guys slobber, hammer keys, and make complete fools of yourself.

exactly how are we making fools of ourselves? drumpf said he was going to drain the swamp.. he did the opposite, and is getting called out for it.

I'm just asking if his supporters are OK with these appointments thus far. If this is what they thought "draining the swamp" was going to be like.
Nobody will answer the question. I'm not trying to be a dick about it, I'm trying to have a discussion. Can nobody do that anymore?

 

[Londo_Jowo]

You guys are spinning like tops over Trump winning, posting useless drivel left and right. It's pure comedy watching you guys...LOL

Keep it up, I'm enjoying watching you guys in meltdown mode you claimed LegendKiller would experience.....LOL

There's actually been a few articles with "best guesses" and "educated guesses" and the lists (from all types of sources) from top to bottom are all terrifying

 

[Homerboy]

Keep it up, I'm enjoying watching you guys in meltdown mode you claimed LegendKiller would experience.....LOL

Yet I still can't get an answer to my question.
Why will nobody answer it?
