trump has always been the single most corrupt president the US has ever had.

If you don't count Jackson, Andrew Johnson, Harding and Nixon.

Oh, I know, whatabout them?

Imagine, Nixon conspired to cover up a burglary.

How could Mr Trump ever compete with something like that?

Now we know why musk has gone after USAID.
It would appear that the USAID inspector general was investigating musks starlink contract in Ukraine.

Correct.

PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT: Inspection of USAID's Oversight of Starlink Terminals Provided to the Government of Ukraine

The USAID Office of Inspector General, Inspections and Evaluations Division, is initiating an inspection of USAID’s oversight of Starlink satellite terminals provided to the Government of Ukraine.

Our objectives are to determine how (1) the Government of Ukraine used the USAID-provided Starlink terminals, and (2) USAID monitored the Government of Ukraine’s use of USAID-provided Starlink terminals.

________________________________________________

The U.S. Agency for International Development Office of Inspector General was established on December 16, 1980, by Public Law 96-533, an amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.

On December 29, 1981, the International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1981 brought the USAID Inspector General under the purview of the Inspector General Act of 1978.

Our office oversees the programs and operations of four U.S. foreign assistance agencies:

USAID, MCC, USADF, IAF

Who would have thought that there was corruption in trumps gov. Grin

Are you posting from Macedonia, Hinty McHintface?? Russia? Chi-na?

Wont be long before you run away from this thread too frank, not when the truth comes out. Grin

In 2022, USAID and Starlink collaborated to provide 5,000 Starlink terminals to Ukraine, to give the country fighting Russian invasion access to Musk's advanced internet system, operated through SpaceX, as reported by The Lever.

"In addition to another ongoing audit on direct budget support, we are examining USAID's Energy Security Project, USAID's oversight of Starlink Satellite Terminals provided to the Ukrainian government, and USAID's efforts to protect against sexual exploitation and abuse in Ukraine," Martin told Congress.

"When completed, we look forward to sharing the findings of these reports with the subcommittee."

Sooooooo.... where's Musk's turpitude?

You mean, you didn't find it in two paragraphs roughly outlining the absolute basics?

Must mean everything is okey dokey then, eh fruitbat.

Meanwhile, in the realm of the non-hypnotized, an "investigation" tends to involve numerous intertwined processes enacted with the intention of discovering the truth regarding a matter or matters. They are conducted when something doesn't quite add up. Often, people or groups are cleared in investigations.

In short, you need more than two paragraphs to explain them. Generally speaking. I mean, you could probably do it in two if you left out the descriptions of the matters at hand, unlike what you did.

But you didn't do that, now did you.

Do you think maybe Elon thought he wouldn't be cleared in this investigation?

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT: Inspection of USAID's Oversight of Starlink Terminals Provided to the Government of Ukraine

The USAID Office of Inspector General, Inspections and Evaluations Division, is initiating an inspection of USAID’s oversight of Starlink satellite terminals provided to the Government of Ukraine.

Our objectives are to determine how (1) the Government of Ukraine used the USAID-provided Starlink terminals, and (2) USAID monitored the Government of Ukraine’s use of USAID-provided Starlink terminals.

Our office oversees the programs and operations of four U.S. foreign assistance agencies:

According to this report USAID is the provider of starlink to the Ukraine government so starlink must have a contract with USAID and then USAID provided the service to Ukraine, so the question is did starlink have a contract with Ukraine

And Trump knew Nixon and sympathised with him - even admired and compared himself to Nixon, except to say, 'but Nixon left... I don't leave'.

He said all DOGE did was check to see which Federal Agency was violating Trump's orders the most and that turned out to be USAID, so that became our focus."

Ah.

This is like the illegals waiving Mexican flags, blocking roads and burning the US flag - as an expression of their love and desire to stay in the US.

Who will investigate the investigators?

Er.. Musk and his team of 20 year old boy geniuses, not beholden to ths Permanent Bureocracy.

Bad reporting by FT. This article falsely claims that Starlink terminals & service were paid for, when only a small percentage have been.

This operation has cost SpaceX $80M & will exceed $100M by end of year.

As for what’s happening on the battlefield, that’s classified.

https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1578433482757271552

Elon gave Ukraine Starlink it cost Space X how much?

Russia blew up communications in Ukraine they would have had nothing without Elon.
