In a Feb. 24 CNN article titled “How Trump’s government-cutting moves risk exposing the CIA’s secrets,” the outlet warns “As the CIA weighs staff cuts, current and former intelligence officials say that mass firings could offer a rich recruitment opportunity for foreign intelligence services – like China or Russia – who may seek to exploit financially vulnerable or resentful former employees.“
“On the CIA’s 7th floor – home to top leadership – some officers are also quietly discussing how mass firings and the buyouts already offered to staff risk creating a group of disgruntled former employees who might be motivated to take what they know to a foreign intelligence service,” the article continues.
The Federalist goes even deeper:
Is that a threat from the CIA? Is CNN reporting that Trump should keep everyone employed because, if he doesn’t, former CIA agents will spill U.S. secrets to our enemies? Apparently so.
But if that’s the case, these are exactly the employees who should be fired. Those with too little integrity to exit with grace should not be employed in jobs with access to sensitive information. The CIA employees CNN describes should not be trusted with any more secrets.
Within the same piece, CNN ridiculously makes it sound as if valued, model intelligence employees will get the axe — and that those same employees have loose lips and are ripe for the picking. Which is it, CNN?
The media want you to be worried because they are worried. If Trump cleans house, it will destroy their business model. CNN and other propagandists have exploited unethical leaking of deep state sources, treating their whispers as gospel, and amplifying their aims through high-profile “news” stories.
If Trump fires their sources, it will be harder for the media to collude with the intelligence community to craft propaganda to sell to the public. The connection between CNN and the deep state has been too cozy for too long.

They would be fired for already having betrayed America.
In the cold war era they would just go missing and never show up again
Hunt those rotten c I a punks down and kill them, blatant treason does not require a trial!!! In fact anyone killing them should be rewarded!!!!
They might, and that would be sedition, a crime for which they can lose their life. However, that’s a reason to fire them. Would you rather people with seditious tendencies be working INSIDE the government intelligence community? I think not!
If nothing else Trump creates chaos and drama, can’t say he does much for good government. He learned how to demolish, not how to build back better.
It seems our problem is we have people working in the most sensitive jobs in our government intel agencies that are willing to betray our country. Many positions in the government necessitate a deep integrity and allegiance to our country. Obviously some don’t have that 8ntegrity or allegiance. Clean them out.
I don’t know about this. The CIA and all of the crap they do in creating chaos in other countries, Ukraine, middle east, as well as here in the US does not mean all they do is GOOD. If truth be known, they started coups here as well as abroad and their play book is bigger than any of us can imagine. They have their hands in stuff that is not good for our country.
Now we see who the people that make up the CIA are really like, they have no problem holding the people and nation hostage to keep their selves in power over we the people! The alphabet soup agencies need to be abolished and rebuilt!
Damn Deep State
