"Borges provided more than two dozen pages of emails, memos and other communications outlining how DOGE “potentially violated multiple federal statutes” designed to protect government data."

This reads like political theatrics from entrenched bureaucrats that are pissed off their authority is being challenged and their incompetence exposed. I have no issues whatsoever with "Bigballs" crawling through that data to find gross instances of fraud. I do have issues with parasitic bureaucrats throwing their dead weight around thinking this is and will remain their fiefdom forever and ever.

If folks are breaking the law by defrauding social security, they should be brought to justice. If DOGE employees broke the law, they should also be brought to justice. I'm good with both of those.
