Well they got the first one. How many more are they going to get? USAID is nothing but a slush fund for corruption for democrats. More people need to go to prison.
By the way, and no big surprise, they are all democrat voters.
I must have missed this because I don't remember any lib media reporting on this? Democrats are so corrupt.
USAID official pleads guilty to taking part in $550M bribery scheme: ‘Violated the public trust’
A federal contracting officer and three businessmen pleaded guilty Thursday to participating in a $550 million bribery scheme involving the embattled US Agency for International Development (USAID).
In February, President Trump declared that USAID’s spending was mostly “corrupt or ridiculous,” adding, “the whole thing is a fraud,” in remarks from the Oval Office.
Musk has alleged that the agency is run like a “criminal organization” by a “viper’s nest of radical left Marxists who hate America.”
DOGE slashed more than $8 billion in funding and fired nearly all USAID employees and contractors as part of its efforts to dismantle the agency.

The dazzler, noted fiscal conservative with a mythical MBA, hated DOGE and the work they did. Cutting government fraud and waste just isn't a voting issue for the guy. Now we have more money we can run through the Department of Education and finally adequately fund
education for the kidsthe dem education bureaucracy.This is just skimming the surface, Im sure the fraud is in the Trillions.
This is why no outsider has been allowed in the oval office. Ross Perot was gonna clean up the corruption and they threatened his kid to stop him. JFK assassination… this goes way back. Further than most can comprehend.
The lifer politicians..Pelosi..Biden, McConnell, you name it.. all of them from both parties are corrupt as hell and have been covering up the grift. And they weaponize the full weight of the government to squash anyone snooping around asking questions.
NO MORE!
Time for the traitors to taste justice!
This.
Given the level of shitty services and crumbling infrastructure and general disrepair in this country, there no fucking way a $36+ trillion debt was used for good. It was laundered elsewhere.
There's not a country in the world with a GDP the size of the United States. We should all have gold bidets and butt plugs. And high speed rail and goddamned levitating cars for fuck's sake. The best of everything. Instead our cities are shitholes with zombies walking the streets.
We've paid for Euros free healthcare, paid for Israel part and parcel, paid for countless wars that have jack shit for ROI. We already know there's no internal controls on elections. Why should we expect there would be proper controls in place on the cash register? The managers have their hands in the till along with everybody they are shipping out money to.
I think that's why Trump walked back on auditing Fort Knox. There's nothing in the vault.
People who can read will note that how this was a $550 million! bribery scheme is never discussed.
It's unfortunate that public officials can be bribed. The article says he got as much as a million dollars over time.
Are you against funding transgender ballerina squirrels in Nicaragua? You monsters!
Proper segregation of duties and internal controls reduce risk of bribery and corruption.
Must have skipped auditing and accounting in your pretend MBA program.
"Roderick Watson, of Maryland, is alleged to have received bribes valued in excess of $1 million while working at USAID in exchange for using his position as a trusted overseer of taxpayer money to direct 14 prime federal contracts to two consulting companies, Apprio and Vistant."
550 million in contracts from the fed for "consulting" for our resident who can't read good or do other things any good.
Bot helpfully points out that no one was actually defrauded out of $550 million.
I’d already said that, but our agreement is a thing to celebrate.
You mean no one but the taxpayers.
Are you defending corruption? We have zero idea what happened to the hundreds of millions. We have no idea if the work was done.
You are defending corrupt individuals by saying it was only a million.
You are pathetic.
Nanny-state H defending taxpayer fraud is no surprise to anyone.
Did our resident commies get a cut? Dazzler, Ducks etc. speak up. How much?
Dazzler seems like the type of man who puts his wife as owner of the LLC so he can cut in line for government contract work.
Dazzler showing off that "mba" level of understanding.
As I said, or do other things any good.
the thing I hate the most about the BBB is that we don’t completely shut the water off on this shit
