There are two stories here. One is the alleged wrongdoing. The second is the fact that the Washington Post has a name of a former DOGE employee. I'm far more interested in the second story than the first.

Asking for a list of all DOGE employees is different than asking for the name of the single accused employee. It wouldn't make any sense for the media to publish a list of every DOGE employee in the context of this story.
Right, because indiscriminately hoovering data about people and their activities and affiliations for the benefit of someone else is clearly immoral.

Oh, wait.
