Officials working in national security are particularly vulnerable to this challenge. Many are tied to controversial Trump policies and scandals, be it child separation at the border or the politicization of the military on display when top Pentagon leaders stood with Trump for a photo op after authorities forcefully cleared Lafayette Square of protesters.
“I can’t tell you how hurtful it was to hear that,” said Troye, noting that the incident was a reality check. Elizabeth Neumann, another former civil servant and Homeland Security official who worked on counterterrorism, said she did not directly face challenges in finding a new job after she resigned in April. But that was primarily because she immediately spoke out against Trump’s policies.
“There is absolutely an effect of a number of organizations out there trying to blacklist anybody that worked on child separation," for example, Neumann said. Another senior administration official looking for a new job compared the challenges Trump appointees will face to the backlash against George W. Bush officials. The person previously turned down a senior White House position, foreseeing that people who worked directly for Trump would be further challenged to find outside employment.
“They are finding that staying silent had a cost: to their consciences and to their careers,” the person said. “People knew Trump would be toxic, yet they hedged anyway in hopes that they might get four more years of job stability.”
Mall cop is open
🤔🤔 “Some of these people are really smart, good and hardworking, but they are also strong Trump supporters, which is off-putting to many in the think tank community of D.C.,” the person said.
Being unjustly punished is more like it.
As they should be. No one can claim not to know who or what Trump really is.
My dad always said 'lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.' Too bad these folk didn't figure that out.
Plenty of Nazis found employment opportunities stunted by the second quarter in 1945. There were an influx of German surnames in South America as a result.
Oh well, they made their beds let them lie in it now... 🤷🏽♀️
Wait... wait. Hold on. You are telling me, that enabling an insurrectionist is NOT a resume builder for a National Security job?! How is that possible?! nosympathy actionsconsequences boohoo

Awwww, maybe we should send the wahmbulance.
Qui cum canibus concumbunt cum pulicibus surgent.
Should extend to entire Administration... I get appointees claiming it was their duty, but they enabled a destructive monster rather than going to Congress with what was going on. Non-political workforce could have done the non-partisan job
They deserve it
