*****My take on this is that a Reduction in Workforce would not be a straightforward process like Reagan and the Air traffic Controllers where they were just laid off if they did not come back to work. There would be plenty of work for courts and lawyers. There may also be a distinction between administration and shutdown furloughs which may affect if a Reduction in Workforce can be implemented. *****

Good Information, which I’ll have to tackle some AM when brain is not fried.
It is good to know that they already have a process set up for reduction in force.
Don’t forget that POTUS has already submitted a vast reorganization and combining of government based on studies and recommendations in 2017. Mulvaney worked on that.
I expect a regular RIFF at some point in time, and IIRC, there was already a hiring freeze, so I expect that at least some has already been accomplished through attrition, just like any other business entity would do.
Zheng Fei-Huawei Technologies Linked to Chinese Communist Party, Intelligence Services (excerpt)
Huawei Technologies, the global telecommunications giant at the center of an international diplomatic battle, is a major target in the Trump administration's campaign to halt China's theft of American technology.
U.S. intelligence agencies have linked the company to both the Chinese military and civilian intelligence services and the Justice Department is now seeking to prosecute the company's chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, for violating American sanctions law.
Meng, also known as Cathy Meng and Sabrina Meng, is wanted by the FBI for her role in a scheme to illicitly move hundreds of millions of dollars for Iran through a Huawei front company in what prosecutors say was a bid to circumvent U.S. financial sanctions on Iran.
