My entire line of commenting has been based in:

Prove fraud.

The post I originally replied to accused fraud. There is a legal definition of fraud - so prove it.

Everything you're going on about has nothing to do with fraud, and is 100% irrelevant since its not about evidence of fraud.

I mentioned morality of loopholes because to me your question looked like some sort of end-run around providing evidence of fraud. That's also why I clearly stated the difference between my opinions and the legal factuality.

Prove the claimed fraud.

If you want the law changed, that's fine - convince congress to do it. Even if the law changes, fraud must be proved under the laws that were relevant when the allegedly fraudulent event occurred.

So again - prove fraud (hint, i doubt you can no matter what your feelings are).



> Prove the claimed fraud.

This is a forum not a court of law. You're hung up on "fraud" and lost sight of the discussion.

Sometimes "fraud" is, for the time being, billowing black smoke. There's a small chance it's a harmless smoke machine, not a fire. Some will cling to that hope, but many others will yell fire.

The process with DOGE is unfolding, so hang tight! Surely you agree "efficiency" would be a good outcome. They're aiming for a tight ship not a cash-haemorrhaging behemoth.

Let Musk work on it for a bit. Heckle later if he doesn't get results. I'll join you in heckling, but for now it's great what they're doing. Shocking that Teslas are burning.

You originally replied to someone who asked "How much fraud and abuse...", so they weren't tethered to only "fraud", they were talking about the generally alarming and wasteful spending of the public's money.
