Of the top 10 wealthiest people in Congress, seven are Republicans. Let me know when DOGE decides to look into them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_members_of_the...

#2 got some of his wealth from Medicare fraud, even. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Scott

I suspect the main goal is to avoid a Democratic repeat of the "outright buy votes" approach Musk has taken.

Conservatives also want to see them look into rich Republicans. Get all the fraudsters, both sides.
If that was actually the case Trump would have lost the primaries. Or they'd all be writing their Congressmen to impeach him yesterday. Trump is literally the most corrupt President in the history of our country. He makes most other politicians seem honest and clean by comparison
As long as the acting president can pump their own meme coin with no repercussions, the chances of any non-partisan actions are zero.
I look forward to their investigation into Trump's cryptocurrency and SPAC antics, then.

(lol)

If they cared about fraud, they would not voted for Trump nor supported Musk.

Conservatives don't mind fraud, they admire it. As long as it comes in the right wing packaging.
