Squirrel-Hair's transition team executive committee provides a glimpse into his taste in advisors

Susan Wright at RedState has a piece on the problematic nature of many of the appointments.

Pam Bondi's inclusion among them conjures unsettling echoes of his shoulder-shrugging attitude toward shoveling money at politicians indiscriminately in order to curry favor:

Bondi’s presence, at the very least, creates the appearance of impropriety. Trump donated $25,000 to Bondi’s PAC around the same time that Bondi’s office decided not to pursue the fraud case against Trump University. Back in June, the AP reported on the sketchy looking chain of events.

The new disclosure from Attorney General Pam Bondi’s spokesman to The Associated Press on Monday provides additional details around the unusual circumstances of Trump’s $25,000 donation to Bondi.

The money came from a Trump family foundation in apparent violation of rules surrounding political activities by charities. A political group backing Bondi’s re-election, called And Justice for All, reported receiving the check Sept. 17, 2013 — four days after Bondi’s office publicly announced she was considering joining a New York state probe of Trump University’s activities, according to a 2013 report in the Orlando Sentinel.

After the check came in, Bondi’s office nixed suing Trump, citing insufficient grounds to proceed.

Bondi declined repeated requests for an interview on Monday, referring all questions to Marc Reichelderfer, a political consultant who worked for her most re-election effort.

The article also notes how Trump often boasted about buying politicians.

The timing of the donation by Trump is notable because the now presumptive Republican presidential nominee has said he expects and receives favors from politicians to whom he gives money.

“When I want something I get it,” Trump said at an Iowa rally in January. “When I call, they kiss my ass. It’s true.”

And then there are S-H's kids Eric, Donald Jr. and Ivanka. They are all on the payroll of his business empire. Wouldn't someone in the meetings where this group was put together be raising the big red conflict-of-interest flag? After all, the recent revelations about the Clinton machine were undoubtedly a factor in how things went on Tuesday.

And this guy?

And then of course there’s Stephen K. Bannon who sold the soul of Andrew Breitbart’s new media revolution, turning it into a propaganda arm for the Trump campaign, just to buy himself a seat at the table.

It is way too early to take Trump’s promises to drain the swamp as anything more than marketing copy. He is staffing up with too many reptiles who thrive in the muck.

I guess on the Saturday morning after the election, the charitable attitude is to say that it's still early and much about the contours of a Squirrel-Hair administration have yet to be revealed. But this move is not a good one.
