Personally I would direct that the ones not ‘cooperating’ be offered new position somewhere in Kansas at a ‘tent city’. If they refuse to accept the new positions and their old positions have been eliminated then they are out of a job and no longer employed.
I’m not saying they are going to jail, I’m saying that their new ‘jobs’ are at a location where there is no telephone or internet services. If they want to sit on the ground and talk to each other while still collecting a paycheck then that is their choice. Otherwise they can quit and stay in their comfortable homes in the Greater DC area.
It would be expensive to keep them on the payroll but I think it would be a LOT less expensive that them staying at their current jobs and causing bureaucratic mischief as they are doing now. Especially those EPA types.
It is a shame that we have to go through such nonsensical legal artifices just to get rid of bad employees in the Federal Government. Chances are, this wouldn't even work because they would immediately go to the courts and sue.
Of course if Trump chose to tell the courts to "go f*** yourselves" then he could make it work despite whatever the courts tried to do.

Agreed. The nation would be better off if a lot of them were just paid to stare at walls instead of meddling with the rest of the nation.
