It just slithered into the Clinton Family Fraudation.

I wouldn't be surprised at ALL that much of that money ended up in the Clinton Foundation coffers under numbered accounts in offshore financial centers.

One time I accidentally left $1 billion on the bar. Luckily it was there when I came back the next day.

2014 ORIGINAL ANNOUNCEMENT: $6 Billion Goes Missing at State Department
By Brianna Ehley, The Fiscal Times April 4, 2014

The State Department has no idea what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors.

In a special “management alert” made public Thursday, the State Department’s Inspector General Steve Linick warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at the department has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years.

The alert was just the latest example of the federal government’s continued struggle with oversight over its outside contractors.

lack of oversight “exposes the department to significant financial risk,” the auditor said. “It creates conditions conducive to fraud, as corrupt individuals may attempt to conceal evidence of illicit behavior by omitting key documents from the contract file. It impairs the ability of the Department to take effective and timely action to protect its interests, and, in tum, those of taxpayers.”

In the memo, the IG detailed “repeated examples of poor contract file administration.” For instance, a recent investigation of the closeout process for contracts supporting the mission in Iraq, showed that auditors couldn't find 33 of the 115 contract files totaling about $2.1 billion. Of the remaining 82 files, auditors said 48 contained insufficient documents required by federal law.

In another instance, the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement issued a $1 billion contract in Afghanistan that was deemed “incomplete.”

The auditor recommended that the State Department establish a centralized system to track, maintain and retain contract files. The department responded and said it concurred with the recommendations to address the “vulnerability” in its contracting process.

Before Linick took office last fall, the State Department had been without an inspector general position for five years—the longest IG vacancy in the government’s history, as noted in The Washington Post.

No cne --- not even the greedy Clintons---can steal $6 billion and not leave a huge paper trail.

When he went to jail, investigators found Ponzi King Bernie Madoff had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities.

COLLUSION AND CONSPIRACIES GALORE Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers that, to unsuspecting outsiders, seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances.

But the purpose of this complex architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money to Madoff in order to avoid scrutiny.

Betcha Sid Blumenthal knows where some of the missing money is.

INCONVENIENT FACTOID Sid Blumenthal was the conniving Clintons’ bagman-—a $325,000 employee of the Clinton Foundation, he promoted dubious foreign deals and schemes in which he had a financial interest.

Blumenthal was ambidextrous-—emailing Libya foreign policy messages w/ one hand....his other hand firmly in the State Dept cookie jar.

In one confidential e-mail to Clinton, Blumenthal was clearly colluding w/ onetime Amb Joe Wilson to help himself to the cookie jar.

GAME ON Wilson pumped himself as a ‘director’ of Symbion Power-—an outfit seeking millions of dollars in contracts from an obscure government agency chaired by Hillary....the Millennium Challenge Corp. (MCC)

In September 2010, Hillary’s MCC awarded Symbion $47 million tax dollars for (cough) ‘power projects in Tanzania.’

EVER WONDER how much of the $47 million tax dollars got to Tanzania....after the players divvied it up among Blumenthal, Wilson, the Clintons, Obama?

FREEPER ACTION PROJECT—DO THIS NOW: demand the MCC books be opened. We demand to know the financial details and the scope and dimension of individuals connected to the State Dept profiting at taxayers’ expense.

Criminal Clintoon at work as the SOS. When contributions from the Opecker Princes and Wall Street ran low, she managed to keep the money flowing into the Clintoon Charity.

If they actually follow through with this, we may not find the money, but we sure as hell will know it was stolen, and probably a few of the players.

Almost every government expenditure is a inefficient bribe channeled through multiple levels and efficiency is never a concern...

congress would spend a billion dollars of YOUR MONEY to put a literal nickel into THEIR pocket.
