Kind of tough to get rid of them during the transition period, which is when the Flynn conversations happened. Flynn should have avoided even the appearance of impropriety until after the inauguration and he held official standing.
I hope investigations in congress and in-house by Pompeo and Comey are zero-tolerance on the leakers and they are removed, then blackballed from government service if not prosecuted and imprisoned.

A new President can fire all the political appointees he wants, but civil service employees are a totally different story - they can only be fired for cause, and now they have government unions too.
