"Hersh is incredible, as in not credible. Bad reputation."

Anybody with half-a-brain knows there's corruption going on when none of the billions sent to Ukraine is being tracked or accounted for.

The My Lai Massacre was uncovered by Hersh. He didn’t make that up.

The American soldiers involved admitted to it and it got to their conscience.

Mercedes? I heard the Zelinsky officials were in new Rolls Royces and they’ve got luxury villas in the sun to escape to courtesy of USA money printing press.

I think FJB knows....one thing he does know in his demented state is lying and stealing...it’s burned into his bones.

The Senate and Congress knew, too.

The Congress voted to not have an IG Auditor, even after they were given warnings of large amounts of money missing.

The money flowing to Off-shore Accounts is the plan!

But of course! Zelenskyy is a saint! On his last foreign visit, instead of flying, didn't he just walk across the Black Sea?

US has given $113B in aid to help Ukraine in its war with Russia, oversight report says
By DOUG G. WARE
STARS AND STRIPES • January 19, 2023
https://www.stripes.com/theaters/us/2023-01-19/ukraine-funding-congress-military-russia-8822450.html

[Excerpt:]
WASHINGTON — Three inspectors general, including the Pentagon’s top watchdog, have issued their first comprehensive oversight plan that outlines transparency efforts to manage and keep track of billions of dollars that the U.S. has provided Ukraine to defend itself against invading Russian forces.

Congress requires the IGs produce the oversight plan and the first edition, which was released Wednesday, elaborated on where aid dollars authorized by federal lawmakers went during most of 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine at the end of February.

Lindsey Graham
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsey_Graham#Military_service

[Excerpts:]

Early life

Lindsey Olin Graham was born in Central, South Carolina, where his parents, Millie (Walters) and Florence James “F.J.” Graham, ran a restaurant/bar/pool hall/liquor store, the Sanitary Cafe.[19][20] His family is of Scots-Irish descent.[21][22] After graduating from D. W. Daniel High School, Graham became the first member of his family to attend college, and joined the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. When he was 21, his mother died of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, aged 52, and his father died 15 months later of a heart attack, aged 69.[21] Because his then-13-year-old sister was left orphaned, the service allowed Graham to attend the University of South Carolina in Columbia so he could remain near home as his sister’s legal guardian.[12] During his studies, he became a member of the Pi Kappa Phi social fraternity.[23]

He graduated from the University of South Carolina with a B.A. in psychology in 1977, and from the University of South Carolina School of Law with a J.D. in 1981.[24]

Military service

Graham being robed as a judge for the Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals, November 2003
Upon graduating from the University of South Carolina School of Law, Graham was commissioned as an officer in the Judge Advocate General’s Corps (JAG Corps) in the United States Air Force in 1982 and began active duty that year. His duty began with a stint as an Air Force defense attorney, after which he was transferred to Rhein-Main Air Base in Frankfurt, Germany, where from 1984 to 1988 he was the Air Force’s chief prosecutor in Europe. In 1984, as he was defending an Air Force pilot accused of using marijuana, he was featured in an episode of 60 Minutes that exposed the Air Force’s defective drug-testing procedures.[21][25] After his service in Europe, he returned to South Carolina, leaving active duty in 1989[26] and entering private practice as a lawyer.[21] He served as assistant county attorney for Oconee County from 1988 to 1992 and city attorney for Central from 1990 to 1994.[27]

Lt. Gen. Jack L. Rives pins the Meritorious Service Medal on Colonel Lindsey Graham, April 2009
After leaving the Air Force, Graham joined the South Carolina Air National Guard in 1989, where he served until 1995, then joining the U.S. Air Force Reserve.[26]

During the 1990–91 Gulf War, Graham was recalled to active duty, serving as a judge advocate at McEntire Air National Guard Station in Eastover, South Carolina, where he helped brief departing pilots on the laws of war.[28] In 1998, the Capitol Hill daily newspaper The Hill contended that Graham was describing himself on his website as an Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm veteran. Graham responded: “I have not told anybody I’m a combatant. I’m not a war hero, and never said I was. ... If I have lied about my military record, I’m not fit to serve in Congress”, further noting that he “never deployed”.[29][30]

In 1998, Graham was promoted to lieutenant colonel. In 2004, he received his promotion to colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserve at a White House ceremony officiated by President George W. Bush.[31] That year, a lower court determined that Graham’s service as a military judge while a sitting member of the Senate was acceptable. In 2006, the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces set aside the lower court’s ruling after concluding it was improper for Graham to serve as a military judge.[32]

In 2007, Graham served in Iraq as a reservist on active duty for a short period in April and for two weeks in August, where he worked on detainee and rule-of-law issues.[33] He also served in Afghanistan during the August 2009 Senate recess.[34] He was then assigned as a senior instructor at the Judge Advocate General’s School, though he never went.[31]

In 2014, Graham received a Bronze Star medal for meritorious service as a senior legal adviser to the Air Force in Iraq and Afghanistan from August 2009 to July 2014, overseeing the detention of military prisoners.[1][31] In 2015, he retired at his last rank of Colonel from the Air Force with over 33 total years of service, after reaching the statutory retirement age of 60 for his rank.[35] Graham earned points toward a military pension but was unpaid as an Air Force officer while a congressman and senator as he was ineligible for a military paycheck during his time in federal government service.[31]

the nudgers that engage at all on hersh articles seem to be stuck with the ad hominem or credibility angle to work with. they don’t go into specifics on his past credibility, of course.

just ignore the nudge brigade. they will never stop (as long as the check is coming in).

"Congress requires the IGs produce the oversight plan and the first edition"

Oh goody, they have a plan to track the money that they've been sending to Ukraine since the war started in January 2021? Should be a pretty accurate accounting since it's two-and-a-half years late.
