This article basically sums up everything I've been reading. That cleaning house of basically all USA's at the start of your term has been done by every prez since at least Reagan.

>He fired around 98 if I recall correctly. He fired the one investigating him, then rolled it into a batch of firings and publicly declared it was a process of setting up a new administration or something like that... There actually was a ruckus about it, but no investigations as far as I recall. Today, everything becomes an investigation...
