DOJ agrees to proposed order to limit DOGE's access to Treasury data

[Cattledog]

In a filing late Wednesday evening, lawyers with the Justice Department agreed to a proposed order that would largely prohibit the Treasury Department from sharing sensitive financial data with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.

The agreement allows two individuals associated with Musk but employed by the Treasury Department – called special government employees – to have “read only” access to the sensitive data.

Once approved by U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, who is overseeing the case, the agreement will stay in place until Feb. 24 when both sides return to court to argue about a long-term preliminary injunction.

The two special government employees allowed to continue seeing Treasury Department data are Tom Krause and Marko Elez, according to the filing. Krause is the former chief executive of Cloud Software Group, a Silicon Valley tech company. Marko Elez is a 25-year-old engineer who used to work for Musk’s X and SpaceX.

1. Too late? These kids already have access.

[Meowmee]

2. None of them should have ANY access at all

[Frasier Balzov]

3. Barn door securely closed now?

What a joke.

[Think. Again.]

4. This is legitimizing the illegal hacking of the treasury...

What musk's data thieves did by breaking into secure government databases was illegal, this move by the doj gives them legal forgiveness to do what they did after the fact.

Now they can not be prosecuted for it.

5. Utterly unbelievable

How all the institutions that should be protecting us have been so thoroughly compromised.
Does NO ONE have any ethics or integrity?

6. See? All fixed now, no further scrutiny needed!

[valleyrogue]

7. NONE of these people have ANY business whatsoever in any federal building

or agency.

They need to be arrested.
