This is what I anticipate happening:
1. Someone will ask Homeland Security how they came up with the 100 to 200 billets, and the response will be that they carved them out of present manpower, without telling the Senate. Who lost what? I would imagine that Border Security probably lost half of the manpower in question.
2. Trying to get Chief of the agency....Jen Easterly? As much as the Senate will ask to have a face-to-face.....she's 8 months pregnant, and probably will take 60 days of leave after birth.....so don't expect this face-to-face session until August, after summer break.
3. Someone in Homeland Security will be required to explain who gave the order for the creation, and find that a 'secret' order came from President Biden six months ago to find a method to create out of thin air. The Senate will try to ask Biden to explain when and where he gave this order, and the response will be 'back in 1972, as Dodgers cleared spring-training' and that he dreamed this up while on vacation.
4. Someone will then ask if the agency will have badges....then find that at least five individuals will hold some type of LE badge.
5. Easterly brought before the House in January on potential abuse of authority charges.
6. Easterly gone by mid-summer 2023, because inability to be effective.
7. Disinformation Agency regarded as creating daily disinformation by end of mid-term election.
8. Some Republican will try to push a bill forward to rename the Agency.....'Ministry of Truth', and to refer to the building where they will be housed.....as the 'Winston Smith' Building.
9. Easterly will be referred to in news coverage as 'Julia' (chief female character in the book '1984').
10. Agency will demand face-to-face meeting with Elon Musk. He will respond....he has sixteen minutes on Friday, at such-and-such bar. Attempt to force him in? He will respond that zoom works perfectly well, and he's got more urgent things on his agenda than messing around with government agents.
