Every year since 1970s, the State Department has published a document called "World Military Expenditures and Arms Transfers." You probably haven't read it, but it is interesting. It's a detailed accounting of global arms sales, what weapons were sold and where they wound up after they were. The U.S. government published this report in the interest of transparency and then continued to publish it through multiple politically charged scandals and conflicts that would include through Iran Contra, two separate wars in Iraq and all 20 years that we occupied Afghanistan. A report like this would be especially useful to have right now and would be critical to have as the Biden administration sends billions in high-tech military equipment every month to corrupt oligarchs in Eastern Europe.
Where are all of those weapons systems going? We should know the answer to that, but we don't know because this year, for the very first time in half a century, the Biden administration has stopped releasing that information. They never explained why they stopped. They just stopped and no one pushed them. Now you'd think this would be a scandal. If there's one thing the news media exists to do, it's to fight for the release of relevant government records because in a democracy, you have a right to know what is being done in your name, but not anymore. That information is classified, Mr. Citizen, so you don't get to find out where those billions of dollars of weapons that you're paying for are going. Who's getting them? What are they doing with them? You don't get to know.

It appears that perhaps a majority of the FBI have sold their souls to the highest bidder.
Defund and disband the FBI.
The dirty cops make the other 1% look bad.
But Putin is the ‘bad guy’, so who cares if we wind up dumping all our weapons in Ukraine to get blown up, captured by Russia, or sold on the black market?
It's called giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.
That’s rich coming from a globalist like you.
The Democrat party.
There’s nothing Democratic about it.
Obvious words spoken.
Pinging Capt. Obvious.
When Trump is president, he really needs to govern more ruthlessly than any Democrat. Just go and do stuff. If anyone in the media complains, just arrest them and refuse to discuss the matter — “it’s under investigation”. Totally serious. This country needs fixing.
The FBI have always been a problem.
If there is one thing that the Founding Fathers would be most appalled by is that our government has an unaccountable secret police force.
So, you are sad that attacks on Trump that fail make Trump stronger? Am I stating your position correctly?
“If there is one thing that the Founding Fathers would be most appalled by is that our government has an unaccountable secret police force”
Yet they’d probably find it unsurprising. They knew what men are and do.
It is not the same FBI run by J. Edgar Hoover!
They guy that wore tutus and ate whole bakeries?
I figured out, years ago, that the Left was winning....this was when my sister and bil taught at Berkley. I was much younger and heard the wine party bloviating of their academic crowd. I figured out that the Left got hold of education, brainwashed many. The unpopular, but book smart kids really bought into hatred of normal Americans, popular Kids, Christians. These angry and resentful young people people went into academia, the gvt, preferably state dept, CIA, some went into officer programs in armed svcs and a lot went into FBI. The somewhat attractive idiots went into ‘journalism’. These people are near the goal line and can’t let Trump win.
The Bureau of lost diaries and Russian disinformation?
Amen! a RIF to Zero but it would take the congress swapping hands to do it.
Don’t forget the essential garage pull cord investigations and enforcement.
