Dubya Had Dark Dick Calling the Shots — Trump Has Pence in the Same Scenario

Mike Pence Determines the Road Ahead

Mike Pence Likes the Dark Dick Model

(The Dark Side May Follow)

It seems to me that we now see VP-elect Mike Pence running the show to pick cabinet and Department heads for Mr. Trump that Dark Dick Cheney gets a second chance at the apple. 

Keep that in mind just how weak George W. Bush was and how strong and influential Dark Dick was ... a wide consensus agrees with me on that fact. 

I believe right now we are gearing up for Part Deux of that scenario with Pence running the show – it also shows how weak and possibly overwhelmed Mr. Trump is now that reality has hit home.

More also here to reinforce my point. On top of that with rumors flying about this family member or that for a top job, keep in mind the legality of that noted here:

Anti-nepotism law (passed and added: December 16. 1967)

U. S. Code › Title 5 › Part III › Subpart B › Chapter 31 › Subchapter I › § 3110

5 U. S. Code § 3110 - Employment of relatives; restrictions

(a) For the purpose of this section —

(1) “Agency” means —

(A) An Executive agency; (B) an office, agency, or other establishment in the legislative branch; (C) an office, agency, or other establishment in the judicial branch; and (D) the government of the District of Columbia.

(2) “Public official” means an officer (including the President and a Member of Congress), a member of the uniformed service, an employee and any other individual, in whom is vested the authority by law, rule, or regulation, or to whom the authority has been delegated, to appoint, employ, promote, or advance individuals, or to recommend individuals for appointment, employment, promotion, or advancement in connection with employment in an agency.

(3) “Relative” means, with respect to a public official, an individual who is related to the public official as father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother, stepsister, half-brother, or half-sister.

(b) A public official may not appoint, employ, promote, advance, or advocate for appointment, employment, promotion, or advancement, in or to a civilian position in the agency in which he is serving or over which he exercises jurisdiction or control any individual who is a relative of the public official. 

An individual may not be appointed, employed, promoted, or advanced in or to a civilian position in an agency if such appointment, employment, promotion, or advancement has been advocated by a public official, serving in or exercising jurisdiction or control over the agency, who is a relative of the individual.

(c) An individual appointed, employed, promoted, or advanced in violation of this section is not entitled to pay, and money may not be paid from the Treasury as pay to an individual so appointed, employed, promoted, or advanced.

(d) The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) may prescribe regulations authorizing the temporary employment in the event of emergencies resulting from natural disasters or similar unforeseen events or circumstances, of individuals whose employment would otherwise be prohibited by this section.

(e) This section shall not be construed to prohibit the appointment of an individual who is a preference eligible in any case in which the passing over of that individual on a certificate of those eligible furnished under section 3317(a) of this title will result in the selection for appointment of an individual who is not a preference eligible (i.e., a Vet or other preference eligible person vs. a person off the street).

So, stay tuned for sure. It should prove to be most-entertaining if nothing else.
