The Pentagon has opened more than 50 criminal investigations into U.S. aid to Ukraine, the agency's inspector general said.
50 criminal investigations. That's all that anyone should need to know to want to at least pause more money to Ukraine.
At a briefing Thursday, Inspector General Robert Storch said the probes, which are at varying stages, are examining "procurement fraud; product substitution, theft, fraud, or corruption; and diversion."
"We have not substantiated any such allegations, though that may well change in the future," he said, according to Bloomberg. (Bloomberg is paywalled, FYI)
He added that there would likely be more investigations as time goes on, "given the quantity and speed" of aid heading to Ukraine.
The "quantity and speed" of aid is determined by us. Tell congress to stop it until you get your arms around what's going on with this money/assets. How ridiculous is it that more aid is even being considered with all this going on?
