Yes. The president call call something unclassified. But til he does, it ain’t. And people have taken an oath to protect it. A presidential advisory board is not the federal government. That’s my point. He could empower someone, appoint someone, use the IG, whayever...but we’re doge and we wanna see aint gonna cut it. I’m from doge, lemme aboard this nuclear submarine right now!. Um nope. Nut i advise the president! Cool story...do it right or I don’t believe you. They can read the doge people on and potus can grant clearances and disclosure agreements at any level of classification, caveat or sap. But if they didnt...can’t say as u would allow access either. Do it right.
Trump could just issue a blanket security clearance for DOGE. He is the chief executive.
It would be interesting to learn the details of how the career bureaucrats blocked access. Were they confrontational and belligerent? Why did they have to be escorted out?
Here is another instance of the bureaucracy resisting Trump:
Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll is on shaky ground with Department of Justice leaders for refusing to deliver the names of bureau employees involved in Jan. 6 cases and other Trump investigations. President Trump tapped Mr. Driscoll, an FBI veteran, to lead the bureau temporarily while his nominee for director, Kash Patel, goes through the Senate confirmation process. But questions remain over whether Mr. Driscoll can stay in the job before Mr. Patel is confirmed and sworn in. Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove on Friday ordered Mr. Driscoll to compile a list of all current and former FBI employees assigned “at any time” to the investigation of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol for review “to determine whether any additional personnel actions are necessary.”
USAID Senior Officials put on Leave after Physically Trying to stop DOGE from accessing Agency Systems
Two USAID officials, John Voorhees and his deputy, were put on leave late Saturday night after refusing to allow DOGE members access to USAID systems. The DOGE members threatened to physically call the police after being refused entry. They were trying to access the security and personnel files.
Federal Officials are concerned that Trump is trying to fold USAID into the US State Department in an effort to cut Government corruption and bloat.
USAID employs approx. 10,000 people, excluding contractors, with 2/3 of them overseas. 60 USAID members were already put on leave last week after trying to circumvent President Trump’s executive order on stopping foreign aid.
What I see is deep state types upset their grift is being studied. And ultimately it’s coming out.
Too bad, so sad.
would you refuse access to a person who had orders of entrance from the COMMANDER IN CHEIF ?
