A DOGE aide was told by ethics attorneys that he held stock in companies that Consumer Financial Protection Bureau employees are barred from owning — and was advised not to participate in any actions that could benefit him personally.

It's a horrific & outrageous massacre against services benefiting most Americans.

Just because an auditor holds stock in a company does not preclude them from doing their job.
Would an auditor for GM be forbidden from owning stock in Ford?

Who is funding them now?
Regretfully it will be two more years before we start to find out
