OK, so you can’t fire everyone, they have government jobs so effectively tenure for life -and then we get to pay for them to retire in luxury...
But, you can take them out of their current jobs and assign them to a new position guarding the toilet supplies of stall 3 of Ice Station Zebra...
If they can deal with that for their “20 and out” then good on them.
Agree. How can they have a valid complaint if their pay isn’t impacted?
But some changes to the critical elements of their job descriptions can lay the groundwork for legitimate firing?
Good thinking... I like it...!
:)
very easy you transfer them all to a new bureaucratic agency called the empty room and desk. then you give the a new task to do that is vitally important for the presidency. that task is absolutely nothing.

Not sure high level spooks get fired. You fire them, they go work for the other side, as consultants. You jail them, they start squealing.
I think high level spooks just “disappear”
In this case, that might be a good idea. Would set the tone. A few of them fall dead from heart-attacks and boating accidents and see what happens.

Yes, you can! The V.A. that was in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina did it.
You just delete the position, period. There is no retirement until you have 20-25 years in unbroken federal service, (without jumps between agencies). The deletion also cuts off the qualifications for unemployment money.
You can close down divisions and departments and end jobs.
Great film. Old fashioned COLD WAR thriller. Rock Hudson and Patrick McGoohan from The Prisoner and Secret Agent fame.
