This guy is a real pussy.
Senate Judiciary Cmte. Chairman Chuck Grassley released 2025 emails showing then–Special Agent Kevin Gounaud wanted a criminal investigation of Elon Musk after the Department of Government Efficiency and the Office of Personnel Management asked federal workers to name five things they accomplished in a week.
He sounds like a real charmer, right?
Gounaud floated a conspiracy theory involving whoever at OPM approved the message and Musk, then a special government employee leading DOGE. In his telling, asking bureaucrats to account for their time was a colossal waste of official hours, a security violation, and a plot to shove sensitive information outside a strict need-to-know.
Catherine Herridge, as usual, has the goods:

“Award winning”. He gets the asshat award for weaponized stupidity. He threw a hissy fit because Elon Musk expected government employees to account for their work productivity. In other words, explain what you do at your job that justifies your paycheck. Nothing wrong with that.
Elon Musk’s DOGE uncovered and got rid of billions of waste, abuse, and fraud in government. He shut down the grifting operations and the DemLeft lost their minds.
Gounaud’s tantrum over accountability is the reason DOGE was created.
