Pentagon Inspector General unwilling to reveal if rules monitoring Ukraine Aid were followed

Consider a hypothetical situation where you learn of a friend living in a faraway country who is seriously unwell and his medical bills have drained most of his savings. When you decide to help this friend out financially, which fund transfer service would you choose?

A: The service which has a proper tracking mechanism to ensure that each and every penny reaches your friend; or,

B: The service that has no tracking mechanism or guarantees that even a small percentage of the amount will reach your friend.

The answer is obviously A since the goal is to help your friend in desperate need. According to D.C., this friend in need is Ukraine and the benefactor is the U.S. government. Last May, Sen. Rand Paul blocked the Senate from passing a $40 billion aid package for Ukraine because he wanted a provision to be added to the bill that would ensure tracking of billions being dispatched. The appalling record of corruption in the U.S. under Biden and in Ukraine makes accountability and oversight essential.

But Paul received little support among lawmakers.............To Read More.....

My Take - Wasn't it just the other day we were assured by none other that that paragon of probity,   Samantha Power, there's no evidence of wrong doing.  Wow!  Well, if there's no tracking mechanism in place to follow that money, that means there's no evidence of wrong doing.  See, moral probity by Samantha Power.  Or, then again, one could view all this evidence of moral turpitude instead of probity.  Given her history, I go for the latter.   

As the author states later in the article this claptrap about "no evidence" allows them to lie under oath, and then as the situation changes they can them come back and change their testimony without suffering perjuring charges, although since Clinton, perjury doesn't seem to be a crime any longer, and as long as Merritt Garland sits in the AG's chair, and Biden sits behind the Resolute Desk, the only time perjury will be a crime is if a conservative commits it.  

He goes on to say, "the other trick is to claim to have ‘no recollection", which Fauci (who claimed he has an answer for everything he's said and done) did 174 times.

During this hearing Rep. Matt Gaetz "grilled" the Inspector General asking:

 “As you testify here today, you cannot testify, truthfully under oath, that the DOD has complied with the policy and law regarding end-use monitoring during all times in this conflict. Isn’t that right?”

And, as in so many of these hearings, three times he asked the same question, and again the Inspector General evaded answering, then fell back of the old reliable...."It's classified".
