Attempts to sabotage Trump administration look more than incidental

Washington Free Beacon:

Obama Admin Loyalists, Government Insiders Sabotage Trump White House

Former admin planted series of landmines to subvert Trump team

...
Behind the effort, these sources say, are senior government officials who previously worked under President Obama and remain loyal to his agenda. These individuals leak negative information about the Trump White House and its senior staff to a network of former Obama administration officials who then plant this information in key media outlets including the Washington Post and New York Times.
...
Additionally, the previous administration permitted staff to accrue substantial amounts of vacation time in its last year in office. As soon as team Trump entered the White House, it was obligated to pay out all of these hours. White House sources say the cost was in the millions of dollars.

The payout prevented the Trump White House from hiring key staff in its opening days due to insufficient funds, according to those familiar with the situation. Flynn, for instance, was able to hire only 22 people to work on the White House National Security Council, which topped around 420 staffers under Obama.

"They put landmines everywhere," according to one senior administration official.

Outside of the White House, meanwhile, a team of former Obama administration officials is working to subvert Trump's agenda.

Former Obama administration officials such as Ben Rhodes, the architect of Obama's pro-Iran press operation, and Colin Kahl, a senior national security adviser to former Vice President Joe Biden, have engaged in public efforts to "purge" the current White House of officials they disagree with.

Earlier this month, Kahl admitted on Twitter that he is seeking to provoke the firings of Trump's handpicked team "in the West Wing," including senior advisers Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, and Sebastian Gorka, and NSC leaders Michael Anton and KT McFarland.

"You can tell what's clearly going on because many of the same media outlets who formed crucial parts of Ben Rhodes' Iran Deal ‘echo chamber' are springing to launch coordinated attacks on Sebastian Gorka today," said one longtime political consultant who is close to the White House NSC. "The way it works is, one highly partisan journalist goes out on a limb in dishonestly characterizing the target. That dishonest story is used to build on the next, in which the original lie is taken as fact, and then repeated in an echo chamber until it becomes conventional wisdom."

There is more.

These people should be given an opportunity to talk about their conduct before a Congressional committee.   This kind fo sabotage and dirty tricks needs to be exposed including the media cohorts of this strategy.
