Slashed dire funding and made chaos out of order. They just cannot just fade away and all be forgotten

If someone asks Trump, he'll say, "Oh, that. We don't need that any more." And that will be that.

from the article:

Many of the agency’s key players have since moved into other roles across government. Amy Gleason, the acting administrator, became an adviser to the health and human services secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, in March. Zachary Terrell, another senior member of the team, is now chief technology officer at the Department of Health, while Rachel Riley has taken up the post of chief of the Office of Naval Research, according to Reuters.

The most prominent of these departures was Joe Gebbia, the co-founder of Airbnb, who has since been instructed by Trump to beautify government websites.


They fire thousands of federal workers, then slide themselves into new federally funded jobs

If it weren’t so important, it’d be hilarious how inept they are.

If the goal was a back door into Federal databases I would guess they got what they wanted. They wanted to link SS, IRS, and voting data and I'll bet they got it. Don't forget he hired hackers.

Social Security and IRS data.

Corrupt SC gave the green light for the release of all that information many months ago. It’s sitting in private servers somewhere.

Doubtless cross-referenced, aggregated and ready for the next step of attaching our faces to our personal information.
