It’s an analogy about established civilised audit procedure versus whatever DOGE is doing, which is… not that.

It’s not about literal shivs.

Speaking of finding things under the mattress, they did find corruption and waste, which they feel justifies their approach.

In my opinion the tiny amount of “waste” they uncovered is arguably not worth the damage and risk done, but that’s my opinion, not theirs.

Again: the damage and humiliation is part of their agenda. They feel that departments are “disloyal” to the King… err… President and hence ill treatment is not only justified but warranted.

To what extent has those findings been verified? I know the was a lot of noise about things that turned out to be mostly imaginary.

As far as I know, they did not found much. Every time their claims were checked, it was hot air. We do not have to lie on their behalf to appear reasonable.
