Trump Transition Team Demands Resignation of Career Diplomats

President Donald Trump’s transition team has asked senior career diplomats to step down ahead of Monday’s inauguration.

Dereck Hogan, Marcia Bernicat, and Alaina Teplitz, who oversee the U.S. State Department’s workforce, have been asked to step down by the Trump team, Reuters reported.

The officials have been in charge of the workforce and internal State Department coordination and need to be removed in order for Trump to clean house.

Typically, career foreign service officers continue from one administration to the next while many other federal officials experience turnover when administrations change.

Trump is not interested in keeping anyone from previous administrations on board, however.

Those career diplomats and officials undermined Trump’s administration during his first term.

Don't forget to reorganize each department, moving people around, breaking up work relationships.

They'll be so disoriented they won't be able to gum up Trump's work....

I had the thought that some of them might have been cheering because they were glad to see Garland go...

I was Deputy Defense Attache in Freetown during Trump’s first administration. I was there in the Embassy when he fired all the seventh floor diplomats. The looks of pure horror on the faces of the embassy staff was epic. The only one who didn’t react that way was the ambassador, who probably thought it opend a door for him.

They don’t work from home. They collect a paycheck while staying home when they should be working.
