Incoming acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte arrived at his new position and immediately requested a comprehensive list of every employee within the intelligence agencies, according to CNN reporting. The request signals Pulte's intent to conduct personnel reviews and determine which employees should be terminated.
CNN reports that President Trump has specifically directed Pulte to examine the possibility of mass firings across the intelligence community. The move represents a dramatic shake-up of the national intelligence apparatus, with Pulte empowered to identify and remove personnel as part of what appears to be a broad restructuring effort.
The demand for a complete employee roster on day one indicates an aggressive approach to reshaping the DNI office. Pulte's actions suggest the Trump administration is moving quickly to assert control over intelligence agencies and remove officials deemed disloyal or incompatible with the administration's objectives. The reported directive for mass firings points to a sweeping purge rather than targeted personnel changes.
This development follows Trump's pattern of installing loyalists in key national security positions and clearing out bureaucratic opposition within federal agencies.
Funny how the expectation of nonpartisan loyalty and patriotism is taken for granted in the armed services, but is begrudged (or scorned) in the civil services.
A "soft" approach might be to offer a benefit for early retirement, and then start withdrawing selected clearances to sequester staff from certain work and hinder their covert plotting. They can stick around in order to empty wastebaskets, or move on to Another Phase of their lives.
Now that I think on it, creating a matrix of Who is Cleared for What might illuminate patterns of collusion. Yanking the clearances of conspirators on cluster topics might disconnect their patterns of communication and association. This would be good, old-fashioned military operations research: analyze the organizational communications network architecture to reveal patterns of communication and hierarchy.

Thanks for doing the text dump 👍
But Obamanation, FJB, and all of their sort get to put "loyalists" into key roles.
Only PDJT is a bad guy for trying such a thing.
Full list.
Employee name / position / role / salary / how long a citizen / sick days taken / political affiliation and history.
From this simple list, personally I would fire over 90% of them based on the answers.

Fired employees foot note: TAKE their security clearances away too
Boy, this is getting fun.
The spook community needs a reboot.
Shades of Scaramucci, only better and of longer duration?

I wouldn't be surprised if he gives them all lie detector tests.
