WaPo: Inspector General Issues Alert Over $6 Billion In Missing State Dept. Money
2016-01-17
Dinesh's take of WaPo news:
The State Department's inspector general has warned the department that $6 billion in contracting money over the past six years cannot be properly accounted for and cited "significant financial risk and . . . a lack of internal control."

The warning was the second "management alert" in State Department history, both issued by new Inspector General Steve Linick. Linick took over the job in late September, after it had been vacant for nearly six years.

I think I'm beginning to see a correlation. Hmmmm who were the Sec of State back then and now?

#8  Everywhere the Clinton machine touches, you find the systematic, clever, looting of some part of the public treasury, feeding their criminal enterprise (CGI) and through "speaking fees" their lavish, entitled lifestyle.

#6  Protection money for locals after they PO'd Blackwater (who had no incentive to provide protection thereafter)?

#5  Oh, I've no doubt that the State Department spent it in the interests of foreign relations. I'm not sure how, but the picture of a slurry mixture of small ice crystals and liquid water keeps coming to mind.

#2  Contract money? Ok, so whom at Foggy Bottom serves as Contracting Officers Representatives (COR)? Should be easy enough to track down.

Difficulty with tracking it down? Start at the other end. Build a compendium of contractors and examine the State Dept. signatures on the contracting documents.

This is NOT rocket science.

#1  Considering most government agencies are little more than legalized theft organizations these days...
