Wasn't the purpose to allow foreign influence to get access to governmental systems and data?

Don't forget about gutting departments that had open investigations into SpaceX and Tesla.

OMB got hacked years ago by the Chinese. Access to our systems and data by Xi/Putin is very pre-DOGE. Maybe they made it less secure, say from not very secure to super not very secure. I’d be willing to believe that, but the claimant has to first admit the systems are already open to foreigner influence/domestic spies.

That’s part of it, but that’s a pretty bad idea, no?

Depends on your perspective - bad for the U.S. people, but good for their enemies.
