1. Perhaps, but she'll be persona non grata there, anyhow.

In testifying, she voluntarily burned her bridges at State. She'll need a career move. Perhaps a professorship in International Relations?

2. she burned her bridges w/ Pompeo and the WH.

Among the career professionals at State, she's a hero. She just went to Sec of State candidate for 2021.

3. I would assume she could be reinstated under a new

(Democratic) administration.

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Best bet is,

Dozens of the Fired or otherwise Career People will be sought out with a new Democratic President. The reality of reshaping and staffing of Agencies is going to be monumental.

5. The reality of reshaping and staffing of Agencies is going to be monumental.

Boy, isn't that the truth.

I remember reading the accounts of the first days after drumph took office... how all the agencies had prepared, as they always do, for the smooth transfer.... and nobody showed up!

This total disregard for our institutions and the value of that historic institutional knowledge...

I can't imagine what it'll take to repair all that.

[Wellstone ruled]

6. Another thing will be the

prosecution of Trump appointees for various crimes for years to come. Don't think there will be the usual blanket Amnesty in January of 2021.
