Talk about crony capitalism,,, it is all rigged. Big government + big business working hand in hand to support themselves.
These articles need to be catalogued and maintained carefully. For the day of reckoning.
And we will never hear a word of this on the DNCmedia.
To criticize this would be to open the door to criticizing the Clintons. Therefore, DNCmedia must remain silent.
The Daily Beast?
I thought they were a Left Wing publication, and above such ‘mundane’ type news.
At least for another 7 months.
....and our intrepid community organizer deigned to warn Briton not to leave the EU....
Pickering is the George Soros of diplomacy!! he also “cleared” Hillary of Benghazi!!!
I believe this will be determined to be completely against the ethics charter of the Boeing company. Keep an eye on this because Boeing will also want to do business with the US. (And this would seem to be a clear conflict of interest.)
BTW, there has long been an association between Boeing and the Democrat party. Likewise Lockheed Martin seems to do well under a Republican administration. With exceptions for break through systems from time to time.
In other news liberals complain of big business influence on America.... nope, crickets.
Jail him.
My agency paid 20% more to upgrade old equipment than it would have cost to buy an even more advanced model. An OIG investigation resulted from it, but our comptroller is still with us and we still completed most of the contract.
Against the ethics charter for Boeing, completely in line with recent practices like the 767 leased tanker deal.
But will this get a small fraction of the coverage of Valerie Pflume? A nobody.
This guy is career State Department. He rose to the ambassador level in 1974 as ambassador to Jordan and went through post after post for the next 26 years before going out to lobby.
Insider and ready to honor any side.
Pickering also chaired the State Department Accountability review board that examined Benghazi and failed to interview Hillary.
Thomas Pickering.. .the guy “hired” to investigate Benghazi.
The lease did not happen.
The BUY happened, after the Air Force told Boeing that if they offered a 777-version the extra size would count against them, whereas when the Europeans proposed the huge Airbus as their bid, they were given extra points for its size.
And sensitive discussions revealed the Europeans wanted Airbus to win, not just for jobs, but for the leverage it would provide against the US—The US does something the Europeans didn’t like, they withhold essential part. Manufactured in Alabama, sure, but the majority of the parts came from Europe.
A national strategic asset like a tanker is not something we should turn over the unreliable, socialist, muslime-loving Europeans.
No man has greater contempt for Boeing than me, but in this case, I have to admit the KC-46 buy is the right thing to do.
Tim Keating is chief of their Wash DC operations, a long time democRAT operative.
When a republican takes the White House he will be replaced by a republican crony.
I’ll have to show this to my husband. As soon as we heard about the Boeing deal, he said it was tied in to the Iraq agreement. Yes, as Trump said, the system is rigged.
