> Setting aside legitimate (thats a matter of judgement) By definition, a judge decides what's legitimate. If DOGE expects their access to be blocked by a court judgement, and bum-rushes agencies to exfiltrate data ahead of the judgement, that's also criminal intent. I am not sure what you are getting at. "Covert" isn't how I'd describe DOGE's actions. "Brazen" maybe?
People have admitted in news interviews to destroying government data to prevent others from knowing what the government was doing. That’s likely criminal. This is a legitimate reason to get at information before people who might destroy have the opportunity. What’s happening with judges is very political. We likely won’t know what’s allowed until things have gone through the appeals process. There have been cases of…
That is how it was designed.

I have taken part in audits for several organizations over the years, and I can assure you that's not how audits are done at all. In fact, should the auditor find there is a way for them to access sensitive data without it being logged, they will flag it immediately. That would be the case even under simple financial regulation. There is absolutely the risk that the people you audit will lie to you or present you wit…
A normal audit, sure. This isn’t that. This is the prison guards flipping the mattress looking for contraband. All of the public complaining is by staff that don’t understand their new position in the pecking order. There is a King in charge and he cares not for the wailing of the petty nobles.
No its not. These prison searches in fact do tend to find knives and what not and do in fact have some role in managing prison violence.
This is not about anything like that at all.

I say "may", because I'm not sure if you have internal code on a public git or FTP server, is that consider "distributing"?

They work for Trump so they'll never be held to account, even if a Democrat wins the next election (assuming even have one and it's fair and free) I never thought I'd be calling for UN observers for an election in the US but here we are
> They work for Trump so they'll never be held to account, even if a Democrat wins the next election Why? If Democrats take the House in the midterms, which looks more likely the longer Navarro and Musk have West Wing access, they can basically turn these folks' lives into a living hell of back-to-back hearings (and contempt charges down the road). And if Democrats win the next election, they'll presumably put someon…
this part of the whistleblower complaint seem way worse: " On or about March 11, 2025, NxGen metrics indicated abnormal usage at points the prior week. I saw way above baseline response times, and resource utilization showed increased network output above anywhere it had been historically – as far back as I could look. I noted that this lined up closely with the data out event. I also notice increased logins blocked…
Any guesses for best possible interpretion? The Russians have infiltrated their PCs with keyloggers and DOGE are working from insecure open networks. The worst possible interpretation is straightforward - they are working for the Russians as agents and let the Russians in or installed the keyloggers for Russia.

I think Trump could simply pardon them, unfortunately.
Ironically, one of the most useful things Trump could do is prosecute e.g. Hunter Bide so SCOTUS can strike down preëmptive pardons.

You are only required to keep the GPL3 license if you re-distribute it. Putting it in a GitHub repo, is ambiguous whether or not it is re-distributing it, at least morally.
If you want to delete the license in a personal copy, that is perfectly valid according to the license terms. If you then happen to upload that to a private GitHub repo, also perfectly valid.
If you then happen to upload that to a public GitHub repo, because of, say, restrictions on free private repos, without intent to distribute, then what?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Even worse when you know more of the whistleblower's story which is that ~15 minutes after one of DOGE's accounts were made there was an attempted login with the correct password from Russia. Not many explanations for that that look good for DOGE...
That's straight up traitorous. DOGE needs to be shutdown and everyone of them held as a flight risk while the whole thing is investigated.

Then you keep the license eh? Distributing without an intent to distribute is distributing.
Git is free and open source. If you want version control and collaboration and NO unintended distribution completely for free you can just use Git. It even has a built in server to share with your work buddies.
