If you hired an outside IT contractor to do the same shit, and they had these kinds of errors, you would sue the shit out of them for incompetence, negligence, fraud, etc... and win

True.

But we're missing the point here. They just need to bullshit long enough pretending to "remove fraud". Their goal is to make sure the previously mostly nonpolitical burecracy is entirely under the control of the executive. Reducing services to taxpayers in the name of " reducing government spending/fraud/waste/whatever " is just a nice bonus for them.

They're lying and they have been for a while. They're not an unruly, incompetent contractor. They're traitors and saboteurs.

But somehow they're not being treated as traitors and saboteurs!

Most of us are just sitting and watching in horror. A handful are clutching their pearls and going on about how violence is never even okay.
