Called it!
They're going to disobey a direct order from the boss.
Results:
-
Wait, dick around waiting to see if maybe some dialogue between the parties can resolve the conflict. Won't work, (((They))) will refuse anything that doesn't retract the declas order. Feet in concrete type refusal, no matter what (((they))) say. If POTUS caves, he's done for and so is the midterms. He will be seen as ineffective and weak.

Fired. The lot of them, fired.
Result: MSM ignores the fact that employees failed to follow a directive from the boss, and that's why they're fired. No rather it'll be the narrative it's always been. Dictator Trump removing political opponents. Impeachment time will be the MSM order of the day.
Neither option has good optics for POTUS. The sooner POTUS decides that the orders aren't being followed, the better.
