Now we know where some of the missing state department money went. Perhaps. Or, is that additional?

[angcat]

I hope she dies.

[BenLurkin]

“No bid” contracts?

Better believe the money went to companies tied to the Clinton Crime Family in some fashion.

[DiogenesLamp]

These people should be tied to a post and whipped with a horsewhip, and then made to pay back that money.

Per the article, it was a no-bid contract.

Who got it?

[fishtank]

I’d look in that house over in Chewbacca-qua-qua for the “stemware”.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

She probably will....right after the election.

[mewzilla]

I wonder how many other no-bid contracts Foggy Bottom let while Hillary was there...

[afraidfortherepublic]

Lots of crystal was broken during the Benghazi raid. s/off

Verklempt to death

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Are they in Chipakwa? Her reservation over yonder in New York?

[afraidfortherepublic]

If that’s where they landed, perhaps she needed replacements because she’s thrown too many at Bill.

Meanwhile, the USS Olympia. A national treasure is rotting in Philadelphia for want of 20 million dollars of dry dock work.
They are discussing towing to sea to sink it as a reef.

A classic historic ship, fired the first shots of the Spanish American war in Manila Bay. Carried the unknown soldier home from WWI. And they spend 6 million on crystal stemware. I hope they choke on their expensive champagne which im sure they bought as well.

I would love to know.

**$53,004 her agency spent on "marble polishing services" **

My lovely Polish housekeeper would have done it for far less. [AND brought you your slippers]

[LydiaLong]

When you don’t have to pay for your stuff, you don’t care how much the wine glasses cost.

[Uversabound]

I’d look in that house over in Chewbacca-qua-qua for the “stemware”.

I work one town over from there, hang on let me go check.

And she is running for president of the USA?

Hello?

[ExSES]

a $5.4 million "no-bid contract for crystal stemware" and $630,000 to "increase Facebook likes on four State Department pages."

I'm sure Hitlery thought this was much more important than improving security at Benghazi! I wonder how much of the crystal stemware disappeared upon her exit from the State Department???

[HiTech RedNeck]

I’d lay at least even odds that Donald Trump would find a way to pay for it, even if that entails putting the Trump logo on the side of the restored museum piece...

[Gunpowder green]

There should never be “no-bid” contracts. A “no-bid contract” is a form of treason, and a direct theft from the citizens.

5.4 million for stemware? $54 a glass gets you the top of the line, did they buy 100,000 glasses? I’m guessing they paid many times that amount, and a connected friend pocketed the difference.
