cron jobs don’t make sense in that regard. It’s just a Linux script that runs on a schedule.

That makes sense. They need to perform a financial review. I could do it (retired programmer with an accounting degree) but I’m not working those insane hours.

I’m a recovering Luddite and technologically impaired, so while the spirit is very willing...

I’ll just cheer them on from the sidelines!

Since all Fed employees now work from home, no one was at the office to stop Trump’s team from going into the building and getting to work. Trying to deny Trump’s people access to the system may not have been such a smart move. It’s now boomeranged on them.

First thing they need to do is get the backups of the database transaction logs. That tells us what they deleted or tried to hide.

It was a desperation move.

Give me a low tech paper trail to follow, and I’m a bloodhound, baby!

Give me a digital trail and I’m Mrs. Magoo.

Sigh.

Elon Musk

The
@DOGE team discovered, among other things, that payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed always to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups.

They literally never denied a payment in their entire career.

Not even once.
