It’s a lovely thing to use Other Peoples Money recklessly and satisfy your whims….our government has lost its way. America is over, there is no way back.

“We have taken great care to ensure the project is carefully overseen since it was first approved by the Board in 2017,” Powell claimed..”

$2.5B. From corporate life in the private sector I can quickly ramble off a lot of questions to question this cost. Without any data, I know any of us could cut large chunks of taxpayer dollars off the cost.

But it really doesn’t matter until someone is punished. Prosecuted and jailed for for squandering the money taken from us. DODGE is meant to find the waste and stop it. There needs to be a highly active and pissed off set of attorneys going after the malfeasance.

Compare how Powell handled this building project to how Trump handled the US Embassy building in Jerusalem.

Trump did everything he could to save taxpayers’ money. Powell ... just the opposite.

Powell didn’t understand the timeless rules of power.

You bend and bow to whomever occupies the seat of Caesar.

If you don’t, the powers that be will come after you.

Had he bent to Trump, his trespasses would have been given a pass.

He and other RATs are likely stealing at least half of it.
Just like the fast train to nowhere in Calipornia.

Another money laundering scheme.

Isn't embezzlement illegal?

Given our debt situation the FED should be sitting around a few card tables pushed together.

“Referring” it to the DOJ is just making a suggestion. It will go nowhere.
