CIA veterans fight for their right… to stay paid for nothing
A group of 200 former CIA officers is protesting a shocking injustice - being asked to resign while still receiving eight months of full pay and benefits. Outraged, they formed "The Steady State" and ran to Congress, demanding an investigation into why the agency would dare suggest such a thing.
Their mission? Preventing “political loyalty hiring” - because, of course, the US intelligence community has always been the gold standard of neutrality. They warn that these forced, fully-compensated exits could undermine national security against China, Russia, and Iran. After all, nothing terrifies America’s adversaries more than ex-agents enjoying a well-funded break from government work.
When exactly these defenders of bureaucracy left - before or after Trump’s deep state shake up - remains unclear. But one thing is certain: they won’t leave without a fight… or their paychecks.
