    @Axtremus said in Why has no DoJ employee leaked any of the Epstein files?: @Horace said in Why has no DoJ employee leaked any of the Epstein files?: Depending on the veracity one gives Elon, we can already say there has been a leak of parts of the Epstein files. Just not one with any there there. Since Elon has never been a DoJ employee, whether Elon leaked anything has no bearing on the question on why has no DoJ employee leaked any of the Epstein files. It Elon has seen the Epstein files, or been told of them regarding specifics about Trump, we have a leak. Thus my conditionalizing on Elon’s veracity.

    Michael Munger put it best, referencing Tyler Cowen: DOGE was terrific, if unintentional, test of @tylercowen's "state capacity libertarianism." link Ask if government should be doing this. If answer=YES, then ensure work is fully staffed, professional and well-compensated. Across the board cuts=dumb
