CFPB sources who spoke to WIRED described being blindsided by the DOGE staffers. “They said they would follow protocol but repeatedly did not,” one says, noting that the level of access these staffers have could allow them to lock others out of the building, take down the website, and “obstruct the bureau’s ability to carry out its mandate.”
One source at CFPB on Friday says they saw two young DOGE staffers wandering through the halls of the building trying to open doors.
“DOGE pulled a Darth Vader in cloud city where they came in promising to respect our rules and ask for read access and then tonight [Friday] at 6 they took a heel turn and demanded website access,” another CFPB source told WIRED at the time.
Ok, can these agencies please stop playing nice with these criminals? They enter the building, lie about benign process, and act like black hat hackers as soon as they get in.
Refuse them access. Make Trump publicly admit he’s illegally shutting down these agencies if he’s purportedly given these clowns permission to do so. If you’re all going to get fired anyway at least make a stand before you do. I know it takes courage, but please stop giving these hatchet men the courtesy of cover.
I mean it’s not just courage sadly… the DOJ has basically said opposing them is opening yourself up to criminal prosecution.
Again yes I will cheer on, hell I’ll donate to the legal defense of someone who gets charged in standing up to them… but I can’t blame anyone for not taking the extreme risks.
fucking noogie them
