In other words, purged. LOL You people resemble Stalinists more every day. No, that will not happen. We have laws that protect civil servants from political hacks.Yes, the lawful orders. And leaking that unlawful orders are being given is a duty for them. It is not 'leaking', it is their Constitutional duty.The government is to be run by the president. Civil service workers must follow his directives.Nice authoritarian rant. You want loyalty to a dictator.
However, civil service employee take an oath to serve the nation, not the president, so you're failing on both a moral and legal level.
Federal employees take the same oath of office as Congress, by which they swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. ... All officers of the seven Uniformed services of the United States take swear or affirm an oath of office upon commissioning.

They swear to obey the lawful orders of those appointed above them as well. Leaking is a criminal activity subject to court proceedings as well as termination.
Again, you are confusing lawful with "I don't like his order politically so I'm gonna be an ass about it"
The civil service is supposed to be apolitical. Right now, it isn't an must be reformed.
If they no longer resemble the organization as intended by the original Civil Service reform, which was an apolitical organization that was to execute the political will of the elected officials, then they have to go.
When the civil servants themselves become political hacks, the system is broken. You just like it because it is broken in your favor.
