Reportedly, the CIA will be dismissing a large number of employees working on “recruiting and diversity issues.”

The exact number of employees that will be let go has not yet been revealed, and that’s spiking my curiosity.

I have to ask: how many CIA agents assigned to “diversity” issues can there possibly be?

Now how in HOLY HELL does the CIA have so many DEI positions that firing them will constitute one of the largest mass layoffs in their history?!?!

Because that’s exactly how this New York Times article reads. pic.twitter.com/JXt7V2QchT

Here’s a hint: It has to be more than 198, since that was how many officers were fired during the CIA’s 1977 mass firing event.

In case you’re curious, this happened when Jimmy Carter ordered the agency to stop focusing on covert action.

Here’s an excerpt of the original New York Times report:

he C.I.A. has moved to dismiss an unspecified number of officers who were working on recruiting and diversity issues, according to former officials, in what would be one of the largest mass firings in the agency’s history.

The possible purge of the officers comes as the agency moves to comply with the spirit of President Trump’s executive order banning efforts to diversify the federal work force.

The C.I.A. on Friday began calling in officers who had been put on administrative leave and telling them to resign or be fired, but a federal court soon halted that action. A judge in the Eastern District of Virginia is scheduled to hold a hearing on Monday to consider a temporary restraining order against the agency.

In a court filing on Thursday, the government lawyers said that John Ratcliffe, the C.I.A. director, could seek to fire more people, following the White House executive order ending diversity hiring. A lawyer for the officers, Kevin Carroll, said the filing suggested the firings were only beginning.
