For much of the last year, staffers who were initially part of DOGE effort improperly accessed and shared sensitive personal data on millions of Americans. The Trump administration hasn’t been able to answer how much data is at risk, what it was used for or why its unprecedented efforts to consolidate data are needed.
Those questions deepened last week, when the Social Security Administration said it discovered DOGE employees at the agency secretly and improperly shared sensitive personal data last year, but once again can’t verify the extent of the violations. The admission came in a court filing last Friday, Jan. 16, that made numerous corrections to testimony given by top agency officials last year in a lawsuit alleging that DOGE was illegally accessing Social Security data.
In the filing, Justice Department lawyers representing the Social Security Administration wrote that two SSA DOGE employees were referred to a federal watchdog to determine whether they violated a law barring government employees from using their job for political activity, known as the Hatch Act.
So, these are actual crimes. Everyone who has access to this PII type data is required to view training on just how fucked you are if you improperly access or distribute this information, every couple of months. Every single instance of disclosure carries its own penalties, fines and jail time. So the DOGE morons likely violated both access and disclosure clauses for each record they stole.
Charge, prosecute, and imprison them for every single violation.
The difference between serving your sentence concurrently or consecutively depends on your cooperation in testifying against your colleagues, and especially your supervisors. Name names, and you’re out in a few years, protect MAGA criminals and traitors, and spend the rest of your life in prison with them.
Yes, we have to ensure there are consequences for all of these treacherous actions. I don’t expect the established powers that be to do it though, it will be up to us, the people - wholly divided and unorganized as we may presently be. I hope we’re up for the task, because it would be some solace to see a modicum of justice served to those who betrayed our country.
I can’t prove anything of course but my suspicion is that what they were really doing was purging records and cleaning up traces of vote manipulation after the election. Seems odd to me that they, under Musk, just went in there did some seemingly random shit only tangentially related to “waste” (or at all), then three months later they were like, welp, all done, bye!, shut down the department and scattered.
If they are going to “disappear” 100 million people as DHS and Stephen miller have stated they need to delete their entire existence from record. I also think they are making lists of who to target next with this out of state sponsored terrorist group
“admits”
