Good Luck Making Them Work – Two Countries Try to Enlist Federal Workers Laid Off by Trump
In a move that’s as laughable as it is alarming, adversarial nations like Russia and China are scrambling to recruit former U.S. federal employees fired under President Donald Trump’s sweeping layoffs, according to a CNN report that’s raising eyebrows. Since Trump took office, thousands of federal workers—many from agencies like the CIA and NSA—have been let go, and intelligence sources tell CNN that these countries see a golden opportunity. “It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to see that these cast aside federal workers with a wealth of institutional knowledge represent staggeringly attractive targets to the intelligence services of our competitors and adversaries,” one insider boasted, suggesting Russia and China are drooling over the prospect.
The pitch? Prey on the “vulnerable”—those out of work and bitter about their pink slips. A second source told CNN that these nations believe the laid-off staffers are “at their most vulnerable right now,” ripe for exploitation. A prior CNN piece even hinted at internal CIA chatter on the 7th floor—home to top brass—warning that mass firings could create a pool of disgruntled ex-employees willing to spill secrets abroad. X account End Wokeness didn’t mince words, calling it a “threat to LITERALLY commit treason,” citing that exact line from CNN.
Disgruntled CIA agents on floor #7 (higher ranking) are now, via CNN, threatening to LITERALLY commit treason.
Time for swift action. Now.

But hold on—Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, a Trump ally, fired back, dismissing it as a self-serving ploy. “I am curious about how they think this is a good tactic to keep their job,” she said, slamming the move as an “indirect threat” via CNN’s “propaganda arm,” exposing loyalties to self over America. Intelligence officials, however, insist it’s a warning, not a threat. Former National Security Council counterintelligence chief Holden Triplett backed this up, noting, “Employees that feel they have been mistreated by an employer have historically been much more likely to disclose sensitive information.”
For Trump supporters, this is a badge of honor. Trump’s cuts, driven by Elon Musk’s DOGE and a promise to drain the swamp, are rattling our foes—Russia and China’s failed recruitment gambit proves it. Good luck making those disgruntled hires work, comrades!
