7th floor is no more.
Is Tillerson getting fired?
Or is the entire state department being abolished?
While Rex Tillerson is on his first overseas trip as Secretary of State, his aides laid off staff at the State Department on Thursday.
Much of seventh-floor staff, who work for the Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources and the Counselor offices, were told today that their services were no longer needed.
These staffers in particular are often the conduit between the secretary’s office to the country bureaus, where the regional expertise is centered. Inside the State Department, some officials fear that this is a politically-minded purge that cuts out much-needed expertise from the policy-making, rather than simply reorganizing the bureaucracy.
One revelation in the documents came from an interview with an unidentified person who suggested that Freedom of Information Act requests related to Clinton went through a group sometimes called "the Shadow Government."
"There was a powerful group of very high-ranking STATE officials that some referred to as 'The 7th Floor Group' or 'The Shadow Government.' This group met every Wednesday afternoon to discuss the FOIA process, Congressional records, and everything CLINTON-related to FOIA/Congressional inquiries," the FBI's interview summary said.
That group, according to the summary, argued for a Clinton document release to be conducted all at once "for coordination purposes" instead of on a rolling basis as would normally be the case. But the "Shadow Government" did not get its way, and the agency in charge decided for a rolling release, the FBI summary said.
Please just stay away.

Please just stay away. If you don't take this serious fine but don't derail this thread like you do with all the others.

I hope that I don't regret saying this, but Trump's purge of "seventh-floor staff" really sets him apart and gives me hope when compared to past presidents. Bill (Clinton dynasty), Kerry (7th Floor), succeeded Hillary as Secretary of State during the corrupt Obama administration (changing of the guard), and both Kerry and the Bushs' (another dynasty), are Skull and Bones. Sprinkle in the skeevy Podesta brothers, Epstein and Alefantis/Rothschild, who are heavily interested/invested in protecting (utilizing?) our waterways and constructing tunnels (here), and this whole FAPE, child trafficking scheme (VOAT member: swordfish69), using unregulated waterways to avoid customs and inspections, seems quite plausible.

Are Executive orders in numeric sequence ie; if the last known EO was #100 and then we hear the new one is #102 does that mean there is an unreleased EO ?

I hear you ...The election of Trump was always a way for the electorate to give the middle finger to the shadow Govt. to buy the time needed to get to the dirty operations of the cabal . Trump turns out to be a kind of God send as he tweets our way to the down and dirty . He has much more power then he is actually using as he lets them hang themselves and all their minions .

In a speech to the Urban League last July, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., boasted of his efforts in 2001 to help a handful of African American-owned investment firms in Chicago get a larger share of business with Illinois state pension funds. "And in six months, they got about a half-billion dollars' worth of business simply on their excellence," Obama said.
...
Following Obama's efforts, the Illinois Teachers' Retirement System gave Ariel Capital $112.5 million to manage, and added hundreds of millions more over the next few years.
In 2006, the teachers' fund took its money back out, citing Ariel's "underperformance." Ariel said the hot stock market of 2006 made its funds' growth look modest, guided as it was by the firm's conservative buy-and-hold philosophy. Ariel is positively rated by several investment experts.
Now, Rogers is an Illinois finance co-chairman for Obama's presidential campaign, having raised more than $200,000 for the campaign. Ariel employees have given nearly $70,000 to Obama's White House effort -- for a total of more than $130,000 to Obama's political career since 2001, when the politician went to bat for the company. The total includes $8,100 donated by Ariel Capital president Mellody Hobson, an ABC News financial contributor. Hobson is listed by the Obama campaign as a "bundler" who has raised between $50,000 and $100,000 for Obama's presidential campaign.

I agree. The work here should be beyond reproach. No monetary motive. No fame seeking motive. No political motive. No mention of Q. It will come out that Q was the source of the crumbs, but it should not come from the mouths of anyone here. Let the public figure that out as part of the discovery process.

Giustra and Bill Clinton met in June 2005 on a "philanthropic trip to Mexico and Colombia organized by the Clinton Foundation".[13] Giustra is a member of the board of trustees of the Clinton Foundation.[25]
In June 2007, Giustra joined with U.S. President Bill Clinton, in a partnership between the William J. Clinton Foundation, private sector, governments, local communities, and other NGOs.[26][27][27][28][29] CGSGI aims to alleviate poverty in the developing world in partnership with the global mining community. Giustra committed $USD 100 million plus half of what he earns in the resource industry for the rest of his life. Carlos Slim Helú, the Mexican businessman and one of the richest men in the world, made a matching contribution.[26]
n July 2007 Giustra and Clinton toured seven countries in Africa overseeing the work of the William J. Clinton Foundation in Giustra's corporate MD-87 jet.[10]
On June 17, 2010, Giustra joined wth Carlos Slim and President Clinton to create a $20 million fund to assist small businesses in earthquake-ravaged Haiti.[30]
n 2015, articles in the International Business Times[31] and in the Washington Post, criticized Giustra's involvement with the Clinton Foundation, suggesting that the close relationship that developed between with their shared philanthropic activities in various countries, may have influenced Hillary Clinton's political decisions.[32]
