Why are these State Department officials still there?
0bama holdovers.
Nearly impossible to fire.
Look how hard it was for Trump to get deadweight VA peeps out of there.
Well, it ain't called Deep State/Swamp for nothin'......
On the other hand, every time one of those derps becomes known as one of those "_______ Department officials", they've blown their cover and might just be the next glob goes out of the drain.
I suppose more direct measures could be taken to expedite clean up of that **** circus, but the collateral damage would be unacceptable. (Nuking them from orbit would be both swift and satisfying but then we'd have to replace all that other stuff.)
I think a lot have been weeded out but there is just too many DS and neverTrumpers in the government.
The government union needs to go the way of the horse and buggy, that would help.
