Is it cynical of me to think the only reason they bothered to investigate was because Hegseth's was found there?

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Is it cynical for me to believe that they're going to sell all our data then scrap elections because of voter id?
Hmm. Maybe they 'leaked' the data themselves for Trump. Wouldn't put anything past his government.
And now I feel totally justified for refusing to, pre-2016, sign up for Nexus to speed up crossing the border. As soon as I found out it was a private operation via a company that had no history in identity management that was contracting out the actual identification to IDScan, I told everyone who asked to avoid using the service — it wasn’t worth the half hour or so saved in border crossings to be sharing that type of information with a chain of private companies with questionable data protection practices.
I feel the same way, but there's no avoiding them anymore. Governments sites like IRS.gov are requiring use of private companies to set up web access.
If they really believed money is speech then forcing us to give it to a business to exercise our legal rights really should be a clear cut 5th Amendment violation, but of course they don't believe in anything besides power
FBI super excited to gain access to IDs that they already had access to
Another example of the benefits of the SaaS revolution. Corporations just offloading risk and accountability. I need a list of what hasn't been put up for sale, shorter list at this point.
This has always been the primary benefit of using subcontractors/vendors for everything, in pretty much every industry.
Literally just more legal layers in between the customer and actual legal liability for C Suite.
It doesn't help workers. It doesn't help customers. It rarely even truly nets out to helping the business in the long term.
C Suite just needs to not actually be responsible for anything bad that happens under their leadership.
More like ass revolution
That's more than half of U.S. drivers.
the service was called Nexus, and (..) no longer available at the time of writing
Sounds very familiar
The world would be a better place if we could just contain Russia.
And the US
Same thing these days.
