Ex-DOGE Staffer: ‘I Have No Idea’ Who Was in Charge

In terms of fraud, generally, we didn't find any examples of fraud, fraud meaning someone who broke the law, who was getting money they shouldn't have been getting. We did have one case where we were asked to look into something. We were asked to look into someone who I think some other agency or something found out was 137 years old.

But we looked into it. And in our systems, the health records showed that they were 75. So, in our case, specifically at VA, we did not find actually any. We were given one potential. That turned out to be zero. We didn't find any examples of fraud, which is great, right? That's great news for the American taxpayer.

DOGE's own fraud is going to all come out sooner or later.

It's already obvious that they did much more harm than good; will not have turned out to have rooted out any substantial fraud, and prolly spent more than they saved.

Which is why healthcare will now be sacrificed for Musk and his fellow Oligarchs' tax cuts.

Doge's goal was to destroy the agencies that were investigating/regulating Elmo's businesses.

Like every other accusation that comes out of Trump and his minion's mouths, it's really an admission.

If we survive the next 3.5 years and there's an actual ability to fix and fully reveal what's happening, I think the level of actual fraud and abuse found will me immense.

This is how today's US high tech is run, no one is in charge.

This is a country.

Not a start up high tech company.

Keep snorting that ketamine.

That tiny crashing sound you hear is the breaking of millions of MAGA hearts.
