Thanks Lapsody. This clears up all the allegations made prior to Feb 5 that DOGE was entering cancellations of payments, etc directly into TPS. Same for allegations made after Feb 5 as well. BTW, you forgot to bold this,
Elez didn't know he had write access, they are investigating but think there's little chance anything happened.
I did summarize accurately. But in reality two people got put on leave, access was granted by the new guy, then there was a leak. People in the treasury knew and were leaking to reporters that he had read/write access. A few days later they started blaring that it was "read only" access - after it was being played up by the press. It looked like a reaction to the press stories. So because attention was drawn to it by insiders with knowledge leaking, it was stopped. It was likely stopped due to the leaks and the talking going on within and without the Treasury.
So it doesn't clear up all the allegations, and we need an independent inquiry in these times. Trump pivots when something comes out that makes him look bad, that's one of his constraints. Even the investigation could be done to head off other investigations. Anything which puts Trump's crew on notice about FA is worthwhile.
