Subpoena time for Bessent and Musk.

marguerite00.bsky.social•16 days ago

Well, charge Elon Musk for the forensic audit of the US treasury computers and any other systems he or his little friends potentially tampered with. What they did is illegal and Elon has to pay.

It used to be that if a party knowingly lied to a judge that party got their hearing and if found in contempt they then went to jail. Let’s see what the plaintiffs lawyers do about this.

evbp.bsky.social•16 days ago

I have so many questions. Among them DOES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NOT HAVE FREAKIN' VERSION CONTROL ON THESE MAJOR SOFTWARE SYSTEMS??!

Be a real easy way to A) revert any changes and B) have a commit history as evidence in a court case.

chelbs.bsky.social•16 days ago

I’ve been thinking/wondering the same… @danhon.com any chance you have some insight into this?

danhon.com•16 days ago

Many systems have version control.

And to this, and Bondi saying the lawyers in Govt are now “representing” not the people but DJT🤣,I say- soooo, what do we do with all the lawyers?

coachn.bsky.social•16 days ago

And they’ll keep lying, pathologically.

Question is whether the legal system holds any sway on these folks; there are no “court police” to go and enforce these decisions.

Pretty terrifying.

foggee.bsky.social•15 days ago

Holy crap. As expected but so chilling. Is Elez being prosecuted or at least questioned regarding what he actually did?

wtf9920.bsky.social•16 days ago

At some point, MAGA will realize that the biggest grift of all time is happening in plain sight. Or maybe they won’t.

They're saying the *same* thing at the Dept of Energy. Energy Secretary Chris Wright gave Luke Farritor access. A 23 year old likely has the nuclear codes.

For those that know...

cram2025.bsky.social•16 days ago

Read only or Read/Write, it doesn’t matter. Read allows download and once downloaded it is out of government control. Sensitive data may no longer be encrypted or protected from hacking, selling on the dark web, or used for nefarious purposes by Musk’s minions.

mikusa.bsky.social•16 days ago

The IRS was tunneled in by a Cloudflare hosting domain controller (check your irs dot gov and you will see it is resting on “sa dot www4 dot irs dot gov”) —which is hosted by “get dot gov”—which is an expired domain-resting on two tunneling servers. TOTALLY illegal IMO

mukhayoga.bsky.social•16 days ago

How were they able to do this on a secure server to move the domain of the IRS that is crazy. I just saw when I went to login. So in the IRS dot gov with the sa in front is that now classed as fake site?

mikusa.bsky.social•16 days ago

I think the kids were on the phone with senior programming insiders (who preferred to remain anonymous and avoid life in prison for treason) and received line by line enablement commands

mukhayoga.bsky.social•16 days ago

So they messed up in the commands. That is so serious I mean other entitles can now possibly attack.

mikusa.bsky.social•16 days ago

I don’t know. But they didn’t have official level clearance, authority by a Federal employee or official of the Treasury or background checks in the first place to do the job so it seems a moot point on the security of the data now.

mukhayoga.bsky.social•16 days ago

True but what a giant mess this is. It will require whole new cyber architecture from the ground up costing millions or more that is of course if there is any money left.
