You are wrong. Under the Obama Regime, the SES was weaponized like everything else in government against the people. Unqualified, incompetent but PARTY HACKS were given SES positions as patronage and they bragged they "can never be fired" and are installed to undermine and thwart anything Trump tries to do to drain the swamp. They also oversee the hiring screening/gatekeeping to continue the hiring of Prog and Commie loyalists over any other applicant.
This is serious and it needs to be audited and fixed.
