Senate Democrats banded together Wednesday night to oppose the creation of a new office to audit US military assistance for Ukraine as part of a provision in the annual defense spending bill.

Forty-five Democrats — including every member of the Senate Armed Services Committee — voted down an amendment to establish an Office of the Lead Inspector General for Ukraine Assistance as part of the fiscal year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) also joined the Democrats in rejecting the new oversight office.

Like the UFO whistleblower said when asked how these Black ops get their money, when there's billions floating around as the government is awash in tax dollars, it's pretty easy to mis-allocate funds.

Can’t have anyone find out about the kickbacks. That would even make Mitch uncomfortable.

Grifters gotta grift.

“Senate Democrats block oversight office to monitor US aid for Ukraine”

Once again the Senate Democrats come through for the NeverTrumpers (Ukraine War supporters). No surprise here.

Did Paul vote against passing the whole enchilada, or just the auditing? Maybe the NYPost got it wrong? Paul sponsored an amendment to audit Ukraine aid!

And, if I’m not mistaken, they haven’t passed any of the audits that were done.

And a bill that would ensure that the US would not submit to the UN in war declarations. And his fellow senators shot that down.
