The Biden administration’s EPA didn’t just mismanage taxpayer dollars—it may have orchestrated a last-minute heist before the clock runs out. The Department of Justice and FBI are now investigating what EPA Chief Lee Zeldin is calling a “gold bars” scheme, a stunning $20 billion transfer to eight so-called “green” entities. Citibank has since frozen the funds, throwing a wrench into what looks like a desperate, eleventh-hour cash grab. A last-minute payout before power shifts? The timing couldn’t be more suspect.
Zeldin, in a formal request to the EPA’s Inspector General, outlined an alarming pattern: reckless financial decisions, outright conflicts of interest, and billions in taxpayer dollars funneled to unqualified recipients. The DOJ and FBI are now digging into the details, and if even half of these allegations hold up, this could be one of the biggest financial scandals of Biden’s presidency.

DOGE should certainly be all over this.
“Well, son of a Bi##*”
Same thing he was doing for 4 years.
Everyone does it!
When my turn?
“Citibank has since frozen the funds”
That’s music to my ears. I was wondering if that was going to happen. I wonder if it took a quick private call from Bondi, Zeldin or Trump to Sunil Garg, the CEO of Citibank, N.A., the primary banking subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. Or maybe a group call.
“Mr. Garg, President Trump, AG Bondi and EPA Director Zeldin on are line 1 for you.”
I know Trump wants his “big, beautiful bill” but Congress should get back to allocating the expenditures - not pass these $trillions omnibus bills that gets doled out helter skelter.
THEFT

NONE of which were qualified to spend the money on any “green” initiatives. It was purely a way to park $20 billion to be returned to Democrat pols as pay-offs and campaign funds and other nefarious pro-commie uses.
The only problem is that it's been so long since any agency presented a budget, they have no idea how any of it is spent. They couldn't present a budget if they tried.
Scary, huh?
biden’s whole presidency was on big scandal.

But will there be any consequences for those involved? Likely not.
Yeah, the Congress is made up of weak critters who want the easy way out. As it is now, they can say the either did or did not vote for this or that.
And whichever party controls the executive likes being able to allocate the cash, Trump included. Hence, his ‘big, beautiful bill.’
Or, am I wrong? Does the BBB specify where every dollar goes?
Remember the outrage over just a simple line item veto? Now there are no lines at all.
