Project Veritas released undercover video of Travis Combs, Branch Chief for Applied Innovation and Improvement at the US Department of Education, describing how the agency is hiding secrets from Congress and DOGE by communicating on encrypted app, Signal.
“It’s insanity. ‘Democracy Falling’ should be the title of the movie,” Travis Combs, a 5-year veteran at the department said.
Travis Combs told the undercover PV reporter that federal employees in the DOE are evading Congress and oversight.
“The one nice thing about the program that I work in is that we don’t ask [citizenship] status, and we’ve been able to keep that out of our federal statute. So, we don’t ask them when they enroll what their status is,” Combs told the PV reporter.
“If Congress actually knew that we don’t have [citizenship requirements] … there would be a lot of uproar…” Travis Combs told the undercover PV journalist.
Combs told the undercover journalist that Department of Education employees are purposely chatting on encrypted app Signal to hide their conversations from any oversight.
“If you want to have a conversation with somebody, you do have to take it offline, but you’re not supposed to. So, everybody uses… an app called Signal now,” he said.

Isn’t using encrypted apps what terrorists do?</s>
Guess who won’t be coming to work next week.....................
his house needs to be raided by the kash patel FBI
I’m starting to think that maybe our government is corrupt.
Linda McMahon has something to do before the DoE is abolished. Get to it, Linda - prohibit all use of Signal and get the funding of illegals shut down now.
Interfering with a federal audit is felony obstruction of justice.

Five years in prison.
Arrest, prosecute, imprison. Make an example of this clown.
If it’s a conspiracy - add some RICO charges.
I beleive it is illegal to hide official communications.
They could claim it was person business - who they called is likely to be in the meta data...
LOL.
The Cone of Silence. I remember it well.
Criminals run the country
A lot of them are very nervous about now.
Dismantle the department now, problem solved.
I didn’t realize PV was still in business.
Democrats just don’t realize. Conservative groups have figured out how to insert spies almost everywhere. Leftists are so certain of themselves, they’ll brag of their ‘resistance’ to anyone who flutters their eyelashes or shows a little cleavage. (And whatever the equivalent is for men). Patriots will track down and infiltrate their secret messaging groups.
In regards to O’Keefe’s new organization, departments have even circulated pictures of O’Keefe and warned staff members to be on the look-out for him. Yet, employees still are fooled by his disguises.
In addition, conservative employees at different agencies (there is probably one or two that have kept their heads down over the past four years) have people they can send info to such as O’Keefe, Christopher Rufo, Libs of Tik-tok, and even Elon Musk. (And apparently PV as well). They know such info will get to Trump and his department heads.
All it takes is one person to spill the beans and get the ball rolling. And now with Trump’s guys in charge, they can go in and distribute the pink slips.
For sure
Bttt.

Any bets on how long it will take for one of Musk’s boys to break the encryption?
Our government corrupt?Perish the thought! sar.
