While the top 2 tiers of officials change at each election (more or less), it's going to take a while for the underlings to register the new regime and new intentions. Plus more than a few will have done things under instruction from the White House that they'd rather not expose, me thinks. Time will tell, but the expectations for instant change were always too high, IMHO. To be fair, we’ve seen more transparency in 8 weeks than the previous 8 years.
