Politifact: No, Hillary didn't lose $6 Billion dollars in the State Department

[A Perez]

A thread in this message board claims that Hillary Clinton "lost" 6 billion dollars belonging to the US State Department. Hill on Trump, "What kind of genius loses a billion dollars in a year?" Hillary lost $6B in 4 years

However, fact-checking website Politifact.com rates this as a "pants on fire" claim. In other words, it's a lie. Link

In other words, the State Department was terrible at paperwork. The $6 billion figure refers to the total amount affected by file mismanagement. It’s akin to spending $20 on lunch and losing or not asking for a receipt. Documentation over where that $20 went was lost, but not the $20 itself.

So the State Department under Clinton, who wasn’t mentioned in the alert, may have been financially disorganized, but it didn’t "lose" $6 billion.

All members are hereby reminded not to type bullshit. Let's keep this message board's reputation high.

It sounds lost to a right-wing guy from a message board, but it doesn't sound lost to the Inspector General.
Gee, tough choice.

[Vigilante]

Amazing the low 2 digit left expects the rest of us to FALL OUT when they bring up the left wing slanting Fact Checkers, that are part and parcel of the DemocRAT/socialist party.

Sounds like politifact has lost all resemblance of being unbiased.

NOBODY read the Politifact link, did they? The money wasn't missing. The paperwork in the files was shabby, and the worth of the contracts was 6 bil. If I forget to fill out some of the paperwork required by the feds on a student, it doesn't mean the student doesn't exist. Or that the student is missing.
