This is theft, not the euphemisms "misplacing funds" or "lack of contractual documentation".

The article states that out of total Iraq war costs, I'm estimating $1 trillion, $2.1 billion lacked documentation. That is 0.2% of the war's cost. The Democrats raised holy hell about that.

The State Department budget requests for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 were $14.5 and $16.4 billion respectively. Let's say the State budget was $60 billion for the four years and one month from O's inauguration during which Clinton was Secretary.

The IG's report stated that $6 billion of contracts could not be documented over the past six years. That would include fourteen months under Kerry, forty-nine months under Clinton and four months under Condoleezza Rice. I cannot believe that anything less of 100% of the $6 billion is attributable to the Clinton incumbency.

This is $6B/$60B= 10% of the State budget during Clinton's incumbency, or fifty (50X) times the proportion of undocumented contracts for the Iraq war.

This has all the earmarks of theft.

When it comes to grifting the Clintons are not amateurs.
They have decades of experience.
