Yesterday I noted that when DOGE showed up on Monday at the USIP offices, they came with what appeared to be private security in addition to FBI agents. It turns out that those private security people were USIP’s own security contractors, only they’d switched sides to DOGE. That contractor is called “Inter-Con.” Realizing that DOGE might try to suborn Inter-Con, the USIP’s head of security had already canceled Inter-Con’s contract and that cancelation had been acknowledged.
suborn:
transitive verb
1 : to induce secretly to do an unlawful thing
2 : to induce to commit perjury
also : to obtain (perjured testimony) from a witness
Did not know that word.
