[House Atreides]

Perhaps I’m missing something but why would firing people who were engaging in fraud be a CYA action?
………………………………………………………………….
Why was the fraud not detected until, very conveniently, now?

Perhaps because Trump wasn’t yet in office?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

So they suddenly discovered that ONE HUNDRED employees were engaged in fraud because Trump took office?

Would they have suddenly discovered that ONE HUNDRED employees were engaged in fraud had Kamala taken office?

Sounds like CYA to me.
