EPA Director Lee Zeldin told Miranda Devine, her podcast, that $20 billion was laundered through a network of "pass-through" NGOs from the "Inflation Reduction Act" to groups controlled by former Obama and Biden administration officials.
EPA DIRECTOR LEE ZELDIN: When I was going through the confirmation process, this video comes out—it was done through Project Veritas. It was of a Biden EPA employee who was talking about how the agency was “tossing gold bars off the Titanic,” rushing to get billions of dollars out the door before Inauguration Day.He was also talking about the desire to get themselves jobs at the recipient NGOs.
And when Democrats had one-party rule in Washington, D.C., they passed this bill called the Inflation Reduction Act that had tens of billions of dollars to go out through EPA.
Well, EPA didn’t know how to spend tens of billions of dollars, so they decided to park $20 billion at an outside bank and have that bank send the money through eight pass-through entities.
All these NGOs—pass-through entities—were riddled with self-dealing and conflicts of interest, former Obama and Biden officials, Democratic donors, as you pointed out. And the EPA was a party to the account control agreement with those prime recipients.
But here’s the thing: when the money goes through the prime recipients to others, EPA is no longer a party to the account control agreement. EPA is losing oversight -- by design.
I could sit here with you, and you could ask me...where the money was going after it leaves the pass-through entities.
And the crazy thing is how little I would be able to answer—even today, this far after Inauguration Day. That is by design. The DOJ has been investigating. The Inspector General’s office has been investigating. I terminated all of it.

LEE ZELDIN: Absolutely. This has been going through a litigation process. It’s set in an appeals court right now in the federal court system. And we are basically at the end of the closeout period now—because when these grants get terminated, there’s a 120-day closeout period.
This money should be recovered for the American public. I’m proud to be able to do my part, with this great team here, to figure out, one, where the money went.
They tossed the gold bars off the Titanic. I was told to go out and find the gold bars. We found the gold bars, and we’re bringing them back on board. We’re doing that for the American public, and we’re proud of it.
This scandal came out shortly after Trump took office. This interview reveals the fact that they are expecting to recover a lot of it.

One other thing that we learned from this interview is the way they passed the money from the original NGO’s to other ones that had no oversight from the EPA. Really corrupt.
Crime so huge nobody can see it for the scale. Like California’s High Speed Rail corruption.
We’ve known this for a long time now. Also this is why CBS fired colbert. They no longer got kickbacks to keep him employed while losing over $40M per year.
The Democrat Party is a criminal organization. RICO them out of existence.................
Ruh roh,,

the DNC
and a whole boat load of people
got a RICO colonoscopy coming eh ?
😁
Wasn’t the #BidenCrimeFamily doing similar things at every agency?
BTTT
“Green” is the new Dirty. Every single green project is just a way to launder money to the Dems’ cronies.
And what is going to be done about it?
Talking about it is more effective than investigations. It plants the seed as to what they were up to but these are pros and they know how to cover their tracks. When Bill was sneaking around as governor his enemies should have called the cops and report there was drug dealing at their tryst locations.
All their machinations are grinding to a halt. The realization is that the Left is paper tiger. If the Repub's keep the House and Senate as well as gains in other races, it is because their endless supply of funds has dried up.
Question: RICO?
I wonder if the Reverrrand (in Rush’s voice) Al Sharpton still owes the IRS 5 million they never bothered to collect - AFAIK.

They forgave it, in exchange for Al becoming an FBI Stoolie.
No wonder this country is in trillions of debt. These bastards never thought that they’d get caught.
So why hasn’t the EPA punk caught on tape “throwing gold bricks off the Titanic” not been hauled, at a minimum, in front of the House and senate, but by the FBI to a federal court?
Maybe he has behind the scenes. Maybe he is doing a Squeals for Deals.
I watched some of this happen from the inside.
Sat in Zoom meetings with people like Reed Hundt former FCC chairman and one on bill clintons buddies .
Once I saw how bad it was I left.
They stated a year ago they ( the EPA) will spend all the money ahead of time should Trump get elected
