NOTES FROM THE FIELD

The intelligence community is pissed. Trump's attack against John Brennen while he sucks up to Putin has triggered serious discussions about leaving the various services. Their point is that we sacrifice to get this stuff, even some of us getting killed,our families are distressed by our jobs, and we don't do it for pay. So why stay?

The DOJ career employees are looking elsewhere. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III isn't going to look out for anyone's interest. They are looking for the exits.

USAID reports that it is likely that their good governance and democracy programs will be shut down. And Rex Tillerson doesn't seem to know what he is talking about.

Another Federal government employee says that Trump's chaos theory of management may work in his business but it will be a disaster in government because everyone will be caught up with the noise and gossip and nothing will get done.

And we haven't begun to talk about policy.
