To the rage of the establishment left, the Donald Trump State Department has been trimming the fat. Large numbers of people who weren’t doing much of anything more than collecting taxpayer-funded paychecks are being let go. The leftist establishment, as predictable as usual, is howling, but the cuts are going ahead and so far have survived court challenges. When you lift up a rock, however, you get to see all the strange and often revolting things that were underneath it, and the State Department is no different.
Fox News reported Wednesday that the Trump administration found every step of the streamlining and reorganization process to be difficult. Even something as simple as getting a list of the people who actually worked for the State Department turned out to require major effort. “It took us three months,” recounted one Trump State Department official, “to get a list of the people that actually work in the building.”
That’s your taxpayer dollars at work. “They couldn’t tell you how many people worked here. It’s sort of scary as a taxpayer and as a public servant to think that we don’t even know how many employees we have. This is a national security agency, you know. Who are these people?” Yeah, good point. Not only were unknown amounts of money being wasted, but the State Department could have been the place of employ of any number of people whose loyalties lay elsewhere, or who were even at place in Foggy Bottom in order to gather information for hostile entities.
Inconceivable? If only it were. With the establishment left being so deeply anti-American today, we can have no certainty that every last State Department employee was properly vetted. After all, back in 2023, even the far-left, thoroughly compromised Biden regime suspended the security clearance of longtime foreign policy analyst Robert Malley, who was serving at the time as the U.S. special envoy to Iran, over concerns about his handling of classified information. Ariane Tabatabai had a top State Department job despite serious concerns over her ties to Iran’s Islamic regime; she is still an adviser to the Defense Department. And so we are to believe that everyone else at State is a true-blue patriot?
