WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department is hitting back at the growing bipartisan criticism of Rex Tillerson's leadership and accusations he is presiding over a debilitating brain drain of the nation's diplomatic corps. At the same time, it allowed that a lack of communication with employees about Tillerson's intent to reorganize the department had contributed to low morale.

In a letter to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Republican chairman, the department said Tillerson's reorganization plans aren't crippling the agency as reports have claimed. Top ranks aren't being intentionally gutted through attrition, mass retirements and buyouts, it said, and a planned 8 percent reduction of its nearly 75,000 employees had been mandated by the Office of Management and Budget and is proceeding under that order.

State is Swamp Central. They can all leave.

I’ll bet Barry’s Kids at the State Department are having a hard time going from “The U.S Sucks, Please Let Us Kiss Your Ass and Apologize” policy of the Obama regime to the current, “We’re Back! Don’t F*** With US!” policy now being reintroduced by PRESIDENT Trump.

Did Hillary's State Dept ever do ANYTHING for Americans?

===============================================

Hillary's top aide, Huma Abedin held three jobs while a State Dept govt employee.......including the Clinton Foundation.

Huma was at her most helpful w/ family members. One cousin (that we know of---could be many more cousins) made out like a bandit at the State Dept.....becoming a multi-millionaire sucking up our tax dollars, and getting favored appointments.

Pervey Anthony was out of a job.......but Huma had a lot of help paying their pricey 12,000 monthly rental.....w/ her cut of the cousins' millions.

=====================================================

Huma needs to keep Anthony close-by to keep his mouth zipped (not his pants). Anthony might spill the beans about Huma's endless line of cousins dipping into the State Dept's numerous slush funds......replenished w / our tax dollars.

=========================================

REFERENCE----This'll give you nightmares, people.....counting up the endless line of Huma's cousins w/ their greedy Muslim hands in the State Dept cookie jar.

UNDER HOUSE ARREST---This smirking creep is Huma's first cousin AKA a serial swindler
He subsidized businesses w/ our tax dollars looted from Hillary's State Dept. He made six million dollars vanish.

EXCERPT--“Thanks for getting in touch. Would love to arrange a meeting,” Huma Abedin replied in a June 23, 2009, email to her cousin Omar Amanat and Shamil Idriss, who heads New York-based Soliya Inc.

In May 2010, then-Secy Clinton helped Soliya get access to U.N. funding by making the U.S. a participant in a U.N. high-tech media initiative called the Alliance of Civilizations. Then in October 2010, the State Department directly awarded Soliya $1.25 million for a media technology project. “Huma helped Omar make KIT appear more valuable because of its association with the Alliance of Civilizations, which was approved by Hillary and funded in part by U.S. grants (tax dollars),” said an attorney familiar with the case.

“This helped Omar raise money for KIT, which he and his brother misappropriated for other purposes. Approximately $6 million has vanished.”

Amanat took KIT Digital public in August 2009. At the time, Amanat, known as a “serial swindler,” was in personal bankruptcy and being sued by other investors. Despite his reputation, he still managed to gain special access to US government tax dollars thanks to his ties to his well-positioned cousin and the Clinton Foundation.

THE MONEY LAUNDRY Records show that Omar Amanat and several other Abedin family members and related charities have together donated as much as $1.2 million to the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative, as well as the Clinton Health Access Initiative.

Omar Amanat, Abedin's cousin, who personally contributed as much as $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation, was appointed to the Council on Foreign Relations during the time that Hillary Clinton was serving as secretary of state.

Let the creatures of the foggy bottom get a real job.

Poor morale is great news for fly-over country.

[Chgogal]

Benghazi!

[Nifster]

Ahhhh poooor babies. They can’t suck off the government test anymore

[DesertRhino]

You’ve got to be kidding. If the job of the state department is to prevent War it’s a miserable failure.
It’s absolutely full of treason and should be gutted like a fish.

I love it when the deep state has low morale. That means President Trump is winning. MAGA

[Chode]

WINNING!!!

There is no foreign nation that has done as much harm to the US, outside of the defunct USSR as the State Department. Even the damage of the Japs and Nazis was more repairable then the international poison spread by the Commie Red State Department and its Yalie Totalitarian Collectivists.

Foggy Bottom is the deepest sleaziest part of the swamp. The Senate has NOTHING on them.

State is full of pinkos. I went to school with one.

“the department said Tillerson’s reorganization plans aren’t crippling the agency as reports have claimed.”

Perhaps sending in the 101st Airborne to cripple the deep state fascist traitors might depress them appropriately.

“...debilitating brain drain of the nation’s diplomatic corps...”

Based upon the false premise that there were “brains” there in the first place ....

[ExTexasRedhead]

They can all resign and go on welfare.

ROFL!

[Poundstone]

You are 100% correct, sir!

[Jan_Sobieski]

Love it! I feel good tonight!

I’ve been in the dining hall next to these people and listened to their conversations. They hate America and all things that identify as the, Right.

There are a handful of Conservatives, a small handful, at State and they are grossly outnumbered by the radical Leftists that roam the halls of Foggy Bottom and enbassies around the world. And many of those on the Right tend to be the Diplomatic Security folks, who are the red headed step children of that agency.

While I’m no fan of Bush, the more I learn about him, Rice had to come to Baghdad more than once to find out why no one was working. They had tenure, couldn’t be fired and hated all things, Bush. They were Islamic apologists from the word go and blamed all the violence on the military and security guys protecting them.
