Elon Musk's "DOGE" Being Sued - Three Separate Lawsuits

[crossbody]

I'm so glad Vivek's parents told him to get away from Elon Musk. Look at the mess he's in at Doge now.

1. DOGE Top Lawyer Latest to Leave the Newly Installed Trump Team​

2. Musk’s new government department in turmoil as partner mulls quitting (Vivek quit). Mr Musk has dialled back his expectations, admitting the department may fall short of its $2 trillion spending cut goal.

3. Elon Musk's DOGE faces 3 lawsuits claiming the new government agency violates federal law.

Three separate suits
1. The first from the American Public Health Association, American Federation of Teachers, Minority Veterans of America, VoteVets Action Fund, the Center for Auto Safety, Inc., and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington;

2. The second from public interest law firm National Security Counselors,

3. The third from consumer watchdog group Public Citizen with State Democracy Defferenders Fun and the American Federation of Government Employees.

Elon Musk's DOGE faces 3 lawsuits claiming the new government agency violates federal law

Moments after President Donald Trump was inaugurated, his new proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is hit with three seperate lawsuits.

Each of the three suits has the same crux - that the creation of DOGE violates the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). The 1972 law requires federal advisory committees to meet transparency requirements, like “fairly balanced” representation, public attendance, and the filing of a congressional charter. DOGE has not taken these steps.

I think the Trump administration is setting Elon Musk up so he can fall on his face. They are giving him a pacifier just to make good on the 250 million he donated, while they know legally it will be yanked out of his mouth.

It's actually a very brilliant plan to get rid of him.

Fake News... all fake news...

Anything but that!

Democrats are petrified of elon going thru the financial books! They are all going to prison...or the gallows!

Hogs at the trough.

Republican elections lawyer Bill McGinley is leaving his counsel role at the “Department of Government Efficiency,” according to a person familiar with the matter.

Then President-elect Donald Trump initially named McGinley as White House counsel before swapping McGinley’s role to DOGE, the quasi-public body led by billionaire Elon Musk.

When the teacher's union is suing you... you have done, and are doing, something very illegal.

 

[Polishprince]

A lot of libs are against government efficiency, so their ire at Mr. Musk is understandable. Maybe its time to wage a little bit of lawfare so the attorneys don't have as much time to obstruct President Trump's overwhelming mandate.

Democrats file lawsuits. It's all they have.

 

[daveman]

You sure can tell who's feeling their gravy train endangered.

 

[whitehall]

Angry disappointed democrats can't win an election so their solution is to sue the freaking government? No wonder the democrat party is in disarray.

“New York Attorney General Letitia James plans to file a lawsuit with at least 10 other state attorneys general against the Trump administration over the Department of Government Efficiency program, accusing DOGE of engaging in unauthorized access to sensitive information that includes Americans' data on federal computer systems at the Treasury Department.

Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, Rhode Island and Vermont are expected to join the suit, as DOGE continues its sweep through the federal government, demanding access and information, some of it sensitive.”

Very good.

And there is no ‘department’ of ‘government efficiency’ – only Congress has the authority to create a Federal department.

DOGE is just like the old "Grace Commission", perfectly legal.

Grace Commission - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Private Sector Survey on Cost Control (PSSCC), commonly referred to as the Grace Commission, was an investigation requested by United States President Ronald Reagan, authorized in Executive Order 12369 on June 30, 1982. In doing so President Reagan used the now famous phrase, "Drain the swamp".[1] The survey's focus was on eliminating waste and inefficiency in the United States federal government. Businessman J. Peter Grace chaired the commission.[2] Reagan asked the members of that commission to "Be bold. We want your team to work like tireless bloodhounds. Don't leave any stone unturned in your search to root out inefficiency."[3]

They can sue all they want but it will go nowhere. The Democrats are panicking because all their crooks are going to end up in front of their 86,000 IRS agents and in front of juries for criminal crimes they committed over the past decades of abuse. Trying to stop this is also a crime. This is going to be great! I bet a bunch of deep state Republicans will also get snagged too! After all, what do they have to fear?
