The article says that Lovinger's clearance was downgraded (presumably from TS/SCI down to TS) and he was yanked out of the National Security Council and put back in the "cooler" at DOD on May 1, 2017. He was finally fired in March, 2018. Obama stopped being President in January, 2017. Exactly how did Obama manage to punish Lovinger five months into the Trump administration?
I would think there was some mad scrambling going after the surprise election of Trump, and probably a little departmental CYA.
For the same reason the CEO of a company can move to another one and people under the CEO who still retain their own hiring/firing authority can continue to act.
POTUS cant possibly know and intervene in every single civil servant issue there is. It is impossible given the number of people who work in the executive branch.
As an example look at the DOJ/FBI and what holdovers are still doing.

I am beginning to think this could indeed be the biggest scandal in American history.
We don't need to just drain the swamp, we need to burn it. Burn it with fire!!!
S&F for the OP... good to know!
Drain it then burn it.... Wish they would have term limits and pension limits, there isn't enough turnover
You hit the nail on the head... term limits and no pension whatsoever.
Make them a servant of the people again.
Excellent post...

Yes, the elite have a lot to lose with Trump in office.
They thought they had it wrapped up with 8 years
of Obama then incoming Hillary. Too bad for them
their hurricane never made shore, and they lost badly.
I don't think we have seen the last of them yet,
they still have the Special Counsel, which may yet fail.
Then what? I pray they are caught in their own traps.
We've learned NEW information suggesting our suspicions are true: FBI/DOJ have previously leaked info to the press, and then used those same press stories as a separate source to justify FISA's Unreal. Tomorrow's Bruce Ohr interview is even more critical. Did he ever do this? 7:20 PM - 27 Aug 2018

How can anyone take the Russian allegations by Democrats serious?
Trump before the election was the only one to bring up that Russian may be interfering in the election.
Obama heard this and reminded trump that the u.s. election system was the most secure in the world and if he feeled like his was losing. He should just work for more votes .
This is when Clinton was a shoe in.
Then when she loses, Democrats be like. It couldn't be us. Had to be an outside source and they literally claim Russia after mocking trump for it.
