To be honest with you, I genuinely don't know whether our federal fleet of armored diplomatic vehicles should be electric or gas. I don't know if it's a good idea to spend $400,000-ish looking into it. If you were the head of Doge looking for cuts, you could convince me that this was a decent one to make. $400,000, back to the taxpayer.

But instead what happened is that $400,000-ish was turned into $400 million and earmarked for Tesla specifically. Tesla, a company which does not make armored vehicles and whose car windows did break that time Franz threw a big ball at them. I digress. Bobby had the document proving that the $400 million line item had not originated under Joe Biden. It had originated under Trump.

Bobby published a story, and unlike a lot of the fact checks that I've seen come and go in the past couple months, this one actually got a fair amount of traction. For whatever reason, the idea of focusing on this one obscure, mysterious line item in a procurement forecast? That week, anyway, people seemed able to pay attention. Bobby had a theory as to why that might have been.
