Russia Says It Will Expel 60 U.S. Diplomats in Retaliation for Trumps Move

Russia said it’s expelling 60 U.S. diplomats and closing the American consulate in St. Petersburg and will retaliate in kind to other countries that ousted its envoys after the poisoning of a former Russian double agent in England.

...

Fifty-eight U.S. diplomats will have to leave the Moscow embassy and two at the U.S. consulate in Ekaterinburg were declared persona non grata. They will have to leave Russia by April 5, according to the statement.

Apparently the consulates in Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok will stay open.

God knows what the Trump administration has installed throughout the State Department.

I mean, this is perfect.

Someone should take a look at who at that level was expelled, and who wasn't. And then take a good hard look at who wasn't.
