This is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of waste, fraud, and abuse in our government.
Let’s let a real businessman take over.
You can bet that's all in Chappaqua now.
I certainly would not bet against you.
A no-bid contract means they had a supplier in mind and they were going to reward that person no matter what with this contract.
Obviously, more than one business supplies crystal, more than one business makes crystal, and there is absolutely no reason to believe such a contract had to be filled immediately so it just had to avoid the bidding process.
IOW, there was a kickback somewhere in there.
BINGO@!
Along with the art from China and Mexico, no doubt.
These kinds of expenditures are all over the federal system. I plugged the calculator the other day. If we split the approx. 3.5 trillion federal budget up for each of America’s 320 million people, they’d each get about $11,000.
You just know that involves unbelievable waste, fraud, and abuse.
Actually it seems to be a Trump campaign press release, dated Oct. 27, 2016:
Excerpts As Prepared For Delivery
If I were to hand that number over to any CFO in ANY company they would want a detailed accounting of those "overruns"
These people are nothing but thieves, pure and simple.
I am so sick of this. If I ever have to hear this banshee harp on about how she “fights” for the women and the children, I’m going to throw up.
That kind of money could open up daycares, provide money for education, among a million other things.
Biggest lying shameless hypocrite this world has ever seen!!
Not wasted the majority of that money was laundered back into the pockets of the Tools, their cronies and Corruptorat coffers.
It’s theft.

TOONS not tools.
Could have bought track chairs & helped our vets.
Then there was the $6B of State Dept. money that was completely unaccounted for...
But no money or outpost security in Benghazi.
....the latest WikiLeaks underline everything weve heard about the Clintons' sleazy drive to enrich themselves. In a 2011 memo, Bill's ex-aide, Doug Band, openly boasted about Teneo's activities raising millions for the Clinton Foundation and for Clinton personally from his Teneo business clients.....described as Bill Clinton Inc. Band bragged about helping the Clintons use their government service to feather their own nest.
Bands Teneo clients were pressed to give millions to the foundation and millions more to Bill. At that time, Teneo had raised $8M for the foundation and $3M in paid speeches for Bill. Plus, Teneo had also set up more than $50M in for-profit business deals for the ex-president, with contracts worth $66M more.....doesnt include loads of in-kind freebies, vacations and private jets.
This circle of enrichment was a one-hand-washes-the-other arrangement.
After her sexting hubbys career nose-dived, Hillary aide, Huma Abedin, needed help to make ends meet. Hillary facilitated Huma's cashing in bigtime: at Teneo, pocketing a foundation salary as Abedin cashed US govt checks from the State Dept. Abedins husband, Anthony Weiner, would later brag of how easy it is to earn big money in private-sector consulting. (Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Add these frivolous expenses to the ‘’missing’’ 6 billion and there’s enough money combined to make Social Security healthy again.
