'Deep State operates quietly below surface': Gabbard warns Americans of major threat in fiery speech​

At around 3:30 of the presentation, Gabbard gives a specific example of the attitude of the employees on assignment to the ODNI. Obviously, I am not certain, but Tulsi seems to be describing the FBI liaison desk within the DNI as she explains how this federal government employee refuses to participate in the DNI request. Listen and you gain an appreciation of the challenge that exists for any appointed leadership. WATCH:

Question: this insubordination- is it by her employeees, or are they three letter agency employees “on loan” (think: communist ‘minders’) from those agencies and consequently she could not fire them. She might be able to evict them, but those agencies would likely then leave the space empty without any interaction with her. It doesn’t seem as simple as firing them.
