Too Little Too Late: Explosion Of DC Internet Searches For "BleachBit", And 'Wipe Hard Drive' Are A Waste Of Time - DOGE Has Already Mapped Payment Systems And Has The Receipts
Zero Hedge recently published a piece showing that internet searches coming out of Washington DC for "BleachBit," "Wipe hard drive," "offshore bank," erupted in the weeks since President Trump took office, and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) got to work.
Internet search trends in the Washington, DC, metro area have been nothing short of stunning in recent weeks, reflecting what appears to be growing panic within the federal bureaucracy as President Trump and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) root out corruption in non-governmental organizations (NGO) and federal agencies.
Earlier this week, internet search trends for "Criminal Defense Lawyer" and "RICO Laws" went viral on X, fueling speculation that Washington's political elites were in panic mode. The searches coincided with DOGE's efforts to neuter USAID's funding of NGOs that propped up a shadow government, as well as begin cutting tens of thousands of workers from various federal agencies.
Having the trends showing the panicked state of Washington bureaucrats makes it very clear that a lot of people connected to Washington DC, be it employees of federal agencies, or individual politicians, trying to hide what they have been up to for years.
TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE......
Maybe Democrats believed their own press, or thought their constant lawfare against President Trump would prevent him from beating Kamala Harris in the November presidential election, but whatever their reasoning, most of these searches, didn't spike until after President Trump took office, with a few starting just days before his inauguration.
What these users conducting the internet searches reported on by ZH didn't seem to realize, is that Elon Musk and his team of DOGE members were busy writing their algorithms to map federal payment systems, long before the official creation of DOGE by a Trump Executive Order.
According to a DOGE timeline piece at the website Sustainable Tech Partner, within the first 80 hours, "The department cancelled approximately $420 million worth of current or impending government contracts, as well as two leases."
The Washington Post highlights the use of AI programs "with personally identifiable information for people who manage grants, as well as sensitive internal financial data," input, which immediately produced how much money was going where, and tracing it to its final destination, which exposed organizations use of Americans' tax dollars ultimately funding a slew of the most egregious liberal priorities, from drag shows in other countries, to payments to U.S. media outlets that "coincidentally" push a liberal agenda.
The DOGE team had also been busy creating algorithms to map out entire systems, before the data could be destroyed, and were doing so within minutes of the EO being signed, while federal employees were home, with no idea that when they came to work the next morning, some were locked out, and the fraud and waste was already exposed.
The fact is these people in DC that are trying to find ways to erase their hard drives, are doing so far too late, because DOGE already has the information, and by trying to do so now, would open them up to obstruction charges when U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi investigates whether to bring charges and what those charges will be.

On February 12, DOGE said that it had cancelled a number of DOE contracts including a "$4.6M contract to coordinate zoom and in-person meetings," a "$3.0M contract to write a report that showed that prior reports were not utilized by schools," and a "$1.4M contract to physically observe mailing and clerical operations."
The cost-cutting group has also said that it has terminated 89 contracts at the DOE, totaling $881 million.
On January 31, just 11 days into its existence, DOGE announced it had terminated 104 government contracts related to DEIA (diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility) programs and initiatives.
DOGE said the cuts spanning 30 agencies including the Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Personnel Management, Environmental Protection Agency, and many more created over $1 billion in savings.
In a post on X on February 3, Musk accused the agency of being a "criminal organization" and said he "spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper." Hours later, USAID workers were told to stay home from work, and within days, the agency announced that all direct hire personnel would be placed on leave globally, with a few exceptions a move that would have reduced its workforce from over 10,000 employees to less than 300.
As part of Musk and Trump's efforts to trim government spending and reduce the federal workforce, the Trump administration emailed a buyout offer to around 2 million government employees. The deferred resignation, sent by the Office of Personnel Management at the end of January, offered to pay employees their full salary and benefits through September, without the need to work during that time, in exchange for their resignation.
.....
The offer finally closed on February 12, with 75,000 workers accepting the buyout, according to the Office of Personnel Management.
Following the deadly American Airlines plane crash in Washington DC in January, Musk announced he would be going after the Federal Aviation Administration.
Days after the crash, Musk wrote on X that the FAA's "primary aircraft safety notification system failed for several hours," adding that, as a result, Trump gave the DOGE team his approval to "make rapid safety upgrades to the air traffic control system."
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed Musk's role, saying the DOGE team was "going to plug in to help upgrade our aviation system."
On February 10, Musk wrote on X that "FEMA betrayed the American people by diverting funds meant for natural disasters to pay for luxury hotels for illegal migrants.".....Hours after Musk's post, FEMA's acting director, Cameron Hamilton, posted on X that the payments had been suspended and that the responsible personnel will be held accountable.
Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ordered the CFPB to halt most of its work and told the consumer watchdog agency to stop issuing "public communications of any type."
The CFPB has told staffers to "not perform any work tasks" while it shuts down its DC headquarters amid an uncertain future.
The agency followed up by sending termination notices to dozens of employees, some of whom had already accepted the buyout offer, sources familiar with the situation told CNBC.

DOGE-inspired EPA locates $20 billion in waste
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the government's leading disaster-relief arm, gave over $59 million to house illegal immigrants in luxury New York City hotels just last week, DOGE uncovered.
One day after the spending was uncovered by DOGE, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that "Secretary [Krisit] Noem has clawed back the full payment that FEMA deep state activists unilaterally gave to NYC migrant hotels," a DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
Pentagon wasted thousands on coffee cups and soap dispensers
A congressional inquiry in 2018 found the Air Force was spending $1,300 for each reheatable coffee cup aboard one of its aircraft. The Air Force spent $32,000 replacing 25 cups, according to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
A two-year audit by the Defense Department Inspector General last year found that Boeing overcharged the Air Force by 8,000% for soap dispensers. They overpaid by $149,072.
Questionable spending in USAID's $40 billion budget, including Sesame Street in Iraq
DOGE has so far claimed to average about $1 billion a day in savings based on budget cuts, and many of the most talked-about cuts were made to jobs and contracts centered around DEI initiatives in several federal agencies.
The Department of Education will likely face a dramatic downsizing or even outright elimination.
This includes recommending canceling 12 contracts in the Government Services Administration and the Department of Education, saving roughly $30 million. DOGE also recommended ending 12 underutilized leases, saving about $3 million.
On Monday, the Musk-led department said it wanted to axe 36 contracts, which would save $165 million across six agencies.
Last month, DOGE announced it wants to cancel 85 DEI contracts at more than 10 federal agencies, amounting to about $1 billion. A $45 million scholarship program for students in Burma would also be axed.
The reasons DOGE is moving at lightspeed include the original EO whereDOGE is set to be a temporary organization until July 4, 2026, so they need to move fast if they are to uncover all the abuse and corruption, but also in order to have the systems mapped so if those in DC searching for BleachBit or wiping hard drives, do so, DOGE already has the receipts.
