Staffers in the offices of deputy secretary of state for management and resources as well as counselor were shown the door Thursday, according to CBS News.
Many of those let go were on the buildings seventh floor top-floor bigs a symbolically important sign to the rest of the diplomatic corps that their new boss has different priorities than the last one.

Media is just so mortified he wants to hire his own people! He’s draining the swamp, and my thought are some of the leaks are from that department.
It’s about time. The state Department has been supplying arms to Islamofascists and overthrowing moderate governments. Literal heads should be rolling.
We've been waiting for this for 35 years.

I have turned off Fox except for Bill O, Tucker, Hannity and Judge Jeanene on weekends. Gone to Fox Business for the rest. :) Did months ago.
Looks like Sheppie has lockjaw. Hmmmm...
Open commies in the FDR state department....a bit more subtle in Wilsons. Difference without a distinction perhaps

How I wished you were right, but right now we have graduate engineers and scientists in Texas who have been unemployed for months because of the depressed oil industry who all wish that DJT would rev up the oil industry.
I think you probably realize those are REGULATIONS, and not laws.
POTUS can order the regulations to be changed. And nobody can stop him.
In fact, only through, ultimately, Executive Power can the existing regulations be enforced.
FANbloodyTASTIC!
He said he has run the state dept. and when all is said and done it will be very easy to clean 10k personnel out. That is what needs to happen and is likely happening behind the scenes.
Really, DJT is avenging JFK after 54 years, if you think about it.
A step in the right direction.
Oh, I like it better than the other sucking sound - the enemedia during an Obama press genuflection.
Draining the swamp.
There are rules here ya know.
Don’t have to fire them.
Stick them in an empty office building with simple desks, simple chairs, no computers, no phones no faxes, no typewriters. Just unsharpened pencils and a manual pencil sharpener — the ones where you have to twist by hand.
Set up surveillance cameras. Provide 1 unisex bathroom and a timeclock.
I bet 50% of them couldn’t last a year.
Can’t wait until President Trump gets to IRS!!
Speaking of zero, he’s being awfully quiet, isn’t he? Is he under house arrest? Haven’t heard him quoted or reported on since the day he got back.
Maybe now someone can find out whaat happened to the Billions Clinton “lost.”
