Yes, if anyone hired a 19 year old ex-con into this role digging through the personal data of government employees... I would say it's pretty clear what their intention is. Furthermore there are established processes chartered by Congress for auditing and reviewing secure materials held by government agencies. Those require background checks, vetting, and proper processes. They don't involve random people hired a couple of weeks ago showing up and digging into whatever they feel like looking at.





They aren't "digging", they are looking for fraud and savings. They've have been vetted by elected officials, just not the ones that seem to have something to hide. I really don't think you know what their "intentions" are.

I don't think this conversation will go much further, please don't let me stand in the way of your outrage.


You don't know what they are doing other than what the said they are doing. Just because someone say's something about their motives, doesn't make it true. It sounds more like you have a position that you want to have promoted "auditing records for corruption reasons" (which is noble btw) and hoping the DOGE organization's behavior is lining up to that position. I'd be careful of this as it sounds more like cognitive bias.

Ah yes, you don't like how things turned out and so you resort to characterizing me as outraged as though I'm somehow less capable of being logical than your are. Feel free to not engage with my comments in future. I'd much prefer that.
