A former Department of State official is headed to prison for conspiring to steer $2 million in sole-source micro-dairy contracts to his son’s business, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Kenneth Apple faces up to 20 years behind bars after a federal jury in Virginia convicted him Thursday of ensuring the State Department awarded four contracts for creating milk-processing factories in Iraq to Xtreme Global Logistics Solutions (XGLS). Apple’s son, Jonathan Apple, owned 50 percent of the Montana-based company, the DOJ said.
Apple — a State Department agricultural advisor from Oregon in charge of micro-dairy contract oversight in Iraq between January 2009 and March 2011 — told his son in 2010 to apply for the contracts worth $2 million total and helped him file the application using false information, according to court records obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
“Kenneth Apple conspired to use his official position to pass on non-public information to his son in order to fraudulently award and administer government contracts,” the DOJ said in a news release.

And the Clintons avoid any consequences for doing worse?
And the Parliamentarian replies: "Of course! Why else does one go into politics??"
Hi son apparently failed to make the requisite donation to the Clinton Family Foundation.
THEY ALL DO STUFF LIKE THIS.
The question is.... why did they choose to prosecute just him ?
Seems you answered my question before I asked it. : )
Mr Apple must be registered as an “R”. There is no other explanation.
He must have thought he was a Clinton.
Looks like there are a couple of “rotten Apples” in this family. Very similar to the Clintons, n’est pas?
The RAT way!
Mr Apple or Mr. Potatohead?
Happened under Hillary’s watch, did she get a kickback to the Clinton Foundation? It’s worth checking into.
Let me guess, the Apple doesn’t fall far from the Tree.
we were just traveling thru Montana today and I swear I saw a Global solutions truck...
This always happens at the end of each administration. Some people start being convicted , as though the govt is legit. The whole time billions have been stolen without a peep.
Someone remind me again, how much did hill get funneled to the Clinton Global Slush fund for approving the sale of 20% of our uranium mines to the Russians?
The democrats run a criminal enterprise to make the Tong envious.
American historian WILLIAM FEDERER explains how Muslims overtake cultures...
Definition:
ISLAM: to submit
MUSLIMS: have submitted.
Muslim 3-Step Program:
* Religious - Immigrate to a country.
* Political - Increase in number.
* Militant - Eliminate those who oppose them.
Every Congressman and Senator should listen to this short discussion by American Historian by WILLIAM FEDERER on Islam.
During the Q & A a student asked why legislators are so weak when it comes to condemning Islamic aggression.
FEDERER responded, “3 Things.”
1. They are ignorant about the history of Islam.
2. They are afraid of Islam aggression.
3. Or, they are on the take.

Dang! 25 years later and the Obama's State Department is involved in a baby-milk factory* scandal!
* That's a Gulf War I reference!
I'll bet that's running through his mind now!
"Who'd we forget to 'donate' to...?"
yup, is he a Republican, or if a Democrat whose toes did he step on??? Maybe he failed to make the requisite payment to one of Hillary’s henchmen.
