YIKES: Adam Kinzinger sits on Ukraine org’s board accused of scamming people out of MILLIONS (thread)

Ruh-ROH … sounds like Adam Kinzinger may have some ‘splainin’ to do.

From The New York Times:

Last spring, a volunteer group called Ripley’s Heroes said it had spent approximately $63,000 on night-vision and thermal optics. Some of the equipment was subject to American export restrictions because, in the wrong hands, it could give enemies a battlefield advantage.

Frontline volunteers said Ripley’s delivered the equipment to Ukraine without required documentation listing the actual buyers and recipients. Recently, the federal authorities began investigating the shipments, U.S. officials said.

In his defense, the group’s founder, a retired U.S. Marine named Lt. Col. Hunter Ripley Rawlings IV, provided deal documents to The Times. But those records show that, just as the volunteers said, Ripley’s was not disclosed to the State Department as the buyer.

Yeah, that doesn’t look good.

If Democrats are in any way connected to this scam, Krybaby Kinzy is safe from a DOJ indictment.

Yesterday The NY Times ran a lengthy piece on this Ukraine grift. From following the war closely, I think we had a few low IQ’ers contribute to this mess.

Our 'cut and run' bit in Afghanistan - leaving billions of dollars worth of weapons for the Chinese to reverse engineer - makes the above commment a joke. If we had an edge with weapons and technology - it ended with Afghanistan. The Chinese got their money's worth with Joe and Hunter.

Anything tied to Ukraine is corrupted. Everyone in the EU knows this, mainly because their government and banking system is linked together. Since their inception in 1991, their “ government “ sanctioned their corruption, getting their “ take”. Bribes, cuts, etc. are legendary from the 12 year old kid informing the police on whose car to install the “ boot” to the banking official paying out to Ukie government officials.

For those that never have been to the EU, they have an age old saying “ When shaking hands with a Ukrainian, be sure to check how many fingers he stole”.

This is how they give kickbacks.

Nothing will be done about it.

They opened the “Investigation” of Hunter in 2018.

The Senate opted, made the choice to not have the monies sent to Ukraine audited, to not have specific oversight as the money did in Afghanistan.

Half of Congress has relatives in no-show positions working for Defense Contractors.

How come the headline "millions" is never referenced in the article, but only $63,000 is?
