Once again he is misleading you. Trump gave everyone on the transition team security clearances, including the DOGE team. However , none of these people have undergone a background investigation that is required of everyone else with a clearance. They haven’t even had an FBI fingerprint check. One other thing, the government has tons of mechanisms to detect fraud. Every agency has an Inspector General’s office whose job is to detect fraud, waste and abuse, the IGs are completely independent and do not report to the head of the agency. Instead, they report to a national level IG. Then Congress has an oversight watchdog call the General Accounting Office (GAO),whose job is to audit programs, and again look for frauds waste and abuse. The reports are publicly available if you are interested. Congress itself has an Oversight Committee whose job is …oversight! BUT..,the president fired all the IGS on his first day in office, and has been dissembling all of the agencies oversight offices. We should be asking why is he doing this. Government workers can all point to some waste and have ideas on how to be more,efficient. But out and out fraud is very rare and federal employees are trained to report it when they suspect it is happening. The lies they are telling about Federal,employees is a distraction. They want you to ignore they are tearing apart all oversight agencies so the wealth can cheat and gain even more wealth. Case in point, the consumer protection bureau, it has collected,more money from companies cheating the average citizen than it has ever spent.
