Exactly. My anger through all this is with the elected officials that were trusted to do this, and clearly have not. I just saw a post that Elon wants to look into elected officials worth millions who are only showing their governmental source of income. If that gets legs, we will have arrived at the bloodless revolution.

DOGE is many things, but it is not a law enforcement or criminal investigation entity.
When we start looking into the finances of members of Congress, we are out of the realm of the usual efficiency efforts to combat “waste fraud and abuse” and are in the realm of pursuing actual criminal investigations.
That means the Department of Justice has to see fit to open that investigation.
That investigation can happen—those of a certain age will recall the AbScam scandal of the 1970s and early 80s. But if/when it does it wll be Pam Bondi doing the commentary from the podium at the DoJ press room and not Elon Musk.
