CIA: Buyouts Offered as President Trump Continues to Gut Old System


Another day, another corrupt agency heads to the chopping block.

We see that the CIA is now offering buyouts to its entire workforce!

This is on par for President Trump who’s daily making moves that drain the Swamp.

Also, job offers are frozen.

A CIA spokeswoman called it an effort to “infuse the agency with renewed energy.”

The overhaul continues.

This is one way to get rid of evil, I mean civil, servants and hire patriots who will actually work for America, rather than working against it.

New York Post reports:

The Central Intelligence Agency on Tuesday offered all employees buyouts that were previously extended to millions of federal workers, according to a report.

The buyouts would provide CIA employees with about eight months of pay and benefits in exchange for their resignations.

Reuters adds:

The Central Intelligence Agency offered buyouts to its entire workforce Tuesday, citing an aim to bring the agency in line with U.S. President Donald Trump’s priorities, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The U.S. spy agency is also freezing the hiring of job applicants already given a conditional offer, the WSJ reported, quoting an aide to CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

The aide, not named in the report, said some of those frozen offers are likely to be rescinded if the applicants do not have the right background for the agency’s new goals, which include targeting drug cartels, Trump’s trade war and undermining China.
The agency does not disclose its budget or the number of people it employs. It did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A CIA spokeswoman told the Journal that the move was part of an effort to “infuse the agency with renewed energy.”

The report of buyout offers is in line with a massive makeover of the U.S. government embarked on by the Trump administration, which has fired and sidelined hundreds of civil servants in first steps toward downsizing the bureaucracy and installing more loyalists.

First the USAID, and now the CIA.

And this is just the beginning of Week 3 of his second term.
