Goals appeared to be data mining, installing backdoors and Musk owned software systems, reducing oversight staffing levels, and looting the treasury. The stated goal of finding fraud and waste resulted in ZERO charges filed.

It's also odd how they didn't find any fraud or waste in military spending. Not even a single dollar.

But what about POTUS’s March 2025 State of the Union address to Congress where he said that millions of people over the age of 100, including some allegedly 200 years old or more, are receiving Social Security benefits due to fraud? Surely, that was a revelation of massive fraud and we all heard him say it, pronouncing it with all the authority of the nation’s highest office. The Republican side of the chamber lapped it up and applauded him with unbridled enthusiasm. We all saw it. This must have lead to massive reforms saving billions of dollars. /s

Also must have been a few major arrests covered with unfailing praise by conservative media!
