Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton may soon have to answer questions about an estimated $6 billion in contract mismanagement, fraud and incompetence that happened under her watch at the Department of State.
Non-profit government watchdog Cause of Action Institute (CofA) filed a Freedom of Information Act request Friday for records related to a March 2014 management alert issued by the department’s Inspector General (IG).

None of the files reviewed by the IG for eight contracts issued by the department’s Bureau of African Affairs and valued at $34.8 million contained required documentation.
Crooked Hillary ran the State Department like a personal piggy bank for the politically connected. Billions of taxpayer dollars went to the corrupt insiders. Nothing was documented.
This is theft on the scale of billions.
“Modifications and task orders were awarded to a company owned by the spouse of the State Department official managing the $52 million contract.”
Robert Kagan??
This FOIA request is about a year late. Given the State Department’s pattern of obstruction and non-compliance with requests for information on all things Clinton, there is no way any information comes to light before November. If the request had been made a year ago, we might get something.
The hubris is staggering. It is not as if the Clintons as a couple were unknown in their tendencies. She and her husband were criminal in office in Arkansas, in DC, in NY and then in the Sec State office.
It is almost impossible to believe in clean government since the Clinton’s rose to power.
But was it INTENTIONAL? She was probably just too busy, out doing good and saving the world, to trouble herself or her staff with keeping records on the billions of dollars that are missing.
“She was probably just too busy, out doing good and saving the world, to trouble herself or her staff with keeping records on the billions of dollars that are missing.”
I wonder how much of this money ended up in the Clinton Foundation.
Trump needs to clean house at the State Department
whe he becomes President.
Corruption is running rampant.
The Clinton Crime Machine is so multi-layered and labyrinthine that it takes months to find a thread to pursue. Even then, it takes many more months to get to the point that you need to file a FOIA request to unravel that thread any further. This is by design.
“Crooked Hillary ran the State Department like a personal piggy bank for the politically connected. Billions of taxpayer dollars went to the corrupt insiders. Nothing was documented.
This is theft on the scale of billions.”
If she becomes President the looting of the Treasury will be on a grand scale.

“cross index to state dept personnel then cross index to xlintonista foundation donors.”
You mean something like checking why millions in ‘refunds’for income tax get sent to ONE ADDRESS in Atlanta ? ( Reportedly )
Maybe not. They are asking for an IG report. It would come from the IG office not the state department.
6 BILLION DOLLARS!!!! How many STARVING children would that feed???
>6 BILLION DOLLARS!!!! How many STARVING children would that feed???
Depends 1) If the owners of said property decided to donate to that cause 2) Presumes GOVT would do a better job of feeding said ‘starving children’ than a public charity\foundation\etc.
Unfortunately, we have an illegal, unconstitutional Democracy, so #1 is right out and, as I can think of NOTHING the govt has touched that was within A1S8\done ‘well’, #2 follows suit.
Now, if you were asking a rhetorical question.... /s
