There is some controversy currently over Trump firing an Obama-era holdover who has continued as the Inspector General of the State Department. SecState Pompeo is clear that the firing was done at his instigation.
I am unclear why any Obama appointees, who serve at the pleasure of the President, are still employed in the Executive Branch. It seems logical to me one would fire them all upon taking office and get busy appointing new ones. Leaving these individuals, whose loyalty is to the other party, on payroll seems highly counterintuitive.
Perhaps someone can ask Trump this question?
