Obama Judge Temporarily Blocks Musk's DOGE Access to Important Treasury Dept. Payment...
• by Cullen LinebargerThe radical left judiciary continues to sabotage the Trump Administration's efforts to drain the swamp.
CNN reported on Saturday that a federal judge halted Elon Musk's government efficiency team from accessing a critical Treasury Department. US District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, who Barack Obama appointed, cited a risk of "irreparable harm."
The order temporarily stops access to a sensitive payment system that distributes Americans' tax returns, Social Security benefits, disability payments, and federal employees' salaries.
Moreover, Engelmeyer ordered the destruction of any downloaded information from the payment system by anyone given access to it since January 20, the date Trump was inaugurated.
Engelmeyer claimed in his ruling that "the risk that the new policy presents of the disclosure of sensitive and confidential information and the heightened risk that the systems in question will be more vulnerable than before to hacking."
CNN reports a hearing on the case is scheduled for February 14.
Elon Musk exploded after hearing the so-called judge's decision.
"This ruling is absolutely insane!" he wrote. "How on Earth are we supposed to stop fraud and waste of taxpayer money without looking at how money is spent?"
"That's literally impossible!" Musk added. "Something super shady is going to protect scammers."
The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by Trump-hating New York Attorney General Letitia James and 18 Democrat state attorneys general infuritated over Trumps efforts to downsize government.

Of course, Trump might simply block the judge out of his own court, while he gets another judge to reverse the first one. Would Trump be so mean?
The judge's decision should be short-lived, once Trump brings evidence of all the Deep State non-elected people who have had access over the last decades, without even a proper Presidential EO. We call this precedent. So, Musk and Trump are right However, let the people make an outcry against this judge. They are being forced to pay IRS taxes longer because of this.
