#1 When the story first broke that the Service Employees International Union had a huge stockpile of masks, there was something sketchy about it.

Now we know the rest of the story.

#2 pocket the entire $9 million profit.

Nah, the Feds get their 37%. Then state and local get their ounces of flesh.

#3 Hey, to me it's an example of business acumen. And you did get your masks.

#4 What masks? At least "No money was exchanged in the attempts to finalize a deal, Brady said."

#6 But in this case, there was no warehouse, and there were no masks to seize.

#8 Lori Loughlin was saying that a lot of these stockpiles were fake. Now it seems we may know why. Trump was right again. Find out who is doing the whining and start sniffing around.

#10 I saw a news report on TV about it. Yes, it was Lori. Probably trying to make amends to society. She has been trying to coordinate getting stashes of PPE into medical hands. She said one thing that has been frustrating is that often these stockpiles she unearths turns out to not exist. I figured after reading this article that there is all kinds of prearranged, ongoing fraud.

#13 Well, guess the whole deal really was right in the SEIU's wheelhouse.

#14 It’s SEIU, of course it’s got something crooked in it!
