I wonder if Trump is going to outsource the entire State Department?

This is move of logic...not desperation. As the official indicated; The State Department has 75K employees, Yun is not the only one with the knowledge to help tackle the subject.
If you have an issue in your company and there are consultants or technicians available extra corporate staff, would you poo poo that move? No...silly
