Even the vultures of the dreaded Russia mafia are candidates. Those who call the shots are those who rank loyalties of subordinates to their one person above loyalty to the nation and the constitutions. The men of the moment are those who would not wait for their records to speak for or recommend them for future offices, instead, they engage in every subterranean move to dislodge perceived enemies in high and low places. This obviously is a by-product of the incompetent influence on the President that democratized corruption and nepotism and corrupted democracy. Those incompetent loyals together with the President destroyed the tight command structures of the very armies that were well led by competent and heroic leaders and engulfed on everything except merit, suitability and seniority.
Perceived enemies are ready now for the unounced Stalinian type of purge.

The agencies, parasatals, police, customs, parliament etc. We have been busy propping up personalities, discussing personalities, pulling down personalities while the real job remains undone.
