There’s an ongoing removal of the remnants of the previous administrations, i.e. the permanent holdovers of the Deep State, by the new Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

Through his lieutenants, the holdovers are advised to vacate the 7th floor as their services are no longer needed which, as expected, the opposition party disguising as the mainstream media has been so furious about, as if they know better than the one in charge.

These career professionals and so-called “diplomatic experts” are now being “moved aside.”

State Dept. carries out layoffs under Rex Tillerson

While Rex Tillerson is on his first overseas trip as Secretary of State, his aides laid off staff at the State Department on Thursday.

Much of seventh-floor staff, who work for the Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources and the Counselor offices, were told today that their services were no longer needed.

These staffers in particular are often the conduit between the secretary’s office to the country bureaus, where the regional expertise is centered. Inside the State Department, some officials fear that this is a politically-minded purge that cuts out much-needed expertise from the policy-making, rather than simply reorganizing the bureaucracy.

There are clear signals being sent that many key foreign policy portfolios will be controlled directly by the White House, rather than through the professional diplomats.
