Career treasurer who distributes trillions quits when DOGE ask for access to payments

The highest-ranking career official at the Treasury Department is departing after a clash with DOGE over access to sensitive payment systems that the US government uses to disburse trillions of dollars every year.

Typically only a small number of career officials control Treasury’s payment systems.

Run by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, the sensitive systems control the flow of more than $6 trillion annually to households, businesses and more nationwide.

Tens, if not hundreds, of millions of people across the country rely on the systems, which are responsible for distributing Social Security and Medicare benefits, salaries for federal personnel, payments to government contractors and grant recipients and tax refunds, among tens of thousands of other functions.

And this wasn't even about paying or not paying for anything. It was just for information on how it works, etc.

Even that was a bridge too far for these people.

Doesn't DOGE have the King's Writ?

shite will burn if it’s found that they were siphoning funds that should have been given back to the people. You don’t quit a job like that if you have nothing to hide.

This is why I said you need a mega a-hole in at Treasury. That dept not only distributes money, it has the authority to freeze accounts and to pull money back. DOGE better look long and hard at Treasury. That is where the answers are located.

How do these people rationalize their thinking?

Your "work" is the property of your employer.
In this case taxpayers.
Your employer absolutely should have the ability to see any work product.

It makes you wonder why. Was he worried about something being discovered?

The elites do not like being questioned.

Just the slightest threat of waterboarding will get him talking to the truth-seekers!!
