And bureaucrats create prestige for themselves by producing more bureaucrats. This is one of the reasons so many organizations welcomed DEI posers with open arms. Here are yet another group of bureaucrats with professional sounding titles. It seems almost preposterous, even to me, as this is obviously racist, incites conflict, and reduces an organization's ability to do whatever it is they became organizations to do.
Yet they did it anyway.
But I digress.
The important step now, one I do hope is coming- I expect perhaps I will have to wait until all these appointees are safely ensconced in their new roles- is criminal investigations. I would like to point out a key issue here- it should not be merely the obvious prosecutions of people who took bribes or obviously abused the system.
No, it should be bureaucrats who 'faithfully' followed the processes laid down by their departments. I hear a lot of these payments were overseen by people who never once questioned a payment. Perhaps it was even in their employee handbook to behave this way.
The key point is that we will never reign in this type of thinking unless and until it is obvious to everyone that just following the bureaucracies rules will not shield you from criminal law.
Normal people know, for instance, that mutilating a child is child abuse. But some people appear to be affected by certain framing- call it a therapy (even though it doesn't meet that definition even for adults) and suddenly we have many people thinking that it is a kindness. We even have people opposed to it who think we somehow need new laws to address the issue because of the new framing.
So, in an ideal world, many of the bureaucrats who had worked in USAID would be being interrogated over many of these egregious payments right now. The F.B.I. should be chasing down the paper trail, going through the various departments, contractors, and NGOs.
The current attempt at defense from the left is that Trump didn't follow the bureaucratic process, and maybe broke a law or two. But this ignores the evidence that DOGE now has. I'm pretty sure a law or two was broken by the bureaucracy as they funneled funds to Wuhan in order to get gain of function work done on COVID.
This is what is in Trump's favor- the deep state is so corrupt that they found actionable evidence of misdeeds in under two weeks. And these crimes are not related to the ones Trump had to live through being enacted against him personally in recent years.
Perhaps we must wait for Kash Patel to get into the FBI, and then take whatever agents left after that place is cleaned out, and put them on these investigations, non-stop, for four years. They might even need a court just dedicated for these particular trails. I don't know if it will go this way, but it should. People might laugh off ridiculous amounts of money going to buy condoms for people in Palestine, but that would be a mistake. I don't care whether or not the criminal looks like the bad guy from my favorite TV show or not- I care that the crime has been committed.
