Biden admin scrambles to track $20B in Ukraine aid as House Republicans warn of audits

President Biden's administration is scrambling to track the nearly $20 billion in military aid it has sent to Ukraine as Republicans warn of impending audits when they take control of the House in January.

Likely future House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has said his party will not be giving Ukraine a "blank check" to fend off Russia's invasion. A potential audit would determine how much, if any, of the U.S. aid is ending up in the wrong hands. The Biden administration's previous tracking efforts have inspected only a fraction of the aid provided to the country.

While some staunch Ukraine allies fear Republicans will cut off aid to the country, there remains widespread support for ramping up oversight efforts in Congress.

Joe Biden will do whatever he wants because everyone and their mother knows full well the second the GOP gets called “Putin supporters” or “democracy haters” they will immediately acquiesce.

Sounds like the Biden administration had no oversight or control over the billions given to Ukraine. Doled out money to everyone concerned and never checked to see if it made the destination. A free for all so to speak.

Republicans are mad that they didn’t get a big enough cut of the laundered money.

Hope to see one day that all congress critters must undergo a full audit every two years. Including their family members.

Yes, but they're excellent at doing so.

In other words:
We have been getting shorted in our kickbacks from the foreign aid scams we funded, and have the offshore bank accounts to prove it, WE WANT OUR FAIR SHARE

No need to audit Ukraine.

Just audit FTX, and the picture will become clear.

No need to audit what shouldn’t have been spent.

In fairness to McCarthy, what can the GOP do if Biden has given the money to his brother James or the money went to Iran? Dems will NEVER vote to impeach or reprimand someone with a D after his name. And there are too many spineless RINOs in The House. And the MSM will attack as they always do.

“A potential audit would determine how much, if any, of the U.S. aid is ending up in the wrong hands.”


If any? Who do they think they’re fooling. After checking
it would not be surprising to learn at least half of congress, would be richer after the big guy took his 10 percent. The precedent set with Trump’s taxes will be coming into play here.

That’s correct...the money went back to the DNC. And many Republicans voted for the Ukrainian “aid” without any accountability.

Bingo.

Even with the results of the midterms and the taking of the House, despite claims of auditing, they have stated they will continue to support aid to Ukraine.

Shat is mind-numbing.

I think some of the money (the lion’s share) got laundered back to democrat coffers, too. Who’s going to notice $200 or $300 million dollars out of $40 billion?
