Theft from the Covid relief plan known as PPP was even worse than we thought

The official in charge of Covid relief tells NBC News' Lester Holt that programs like PPP were structured in ways that were "an invitation" to fraudsters.

I take issue with the fact that old, well known fraud is being presented as newly found fraud.

Some people may call doing that, get this...also fraud.

Or…..a distraction to conceal, get this…self-dealing or new grift.

Distraction is a fundamental element of the classic CONfidence game. You have to focus the marks on something other than getting got by the grifter.

Laugh it away...... National Security be damned

Jesse Watters: “You ever try to start a group text, you’re adding people, and you accidentally add the wrong person. All of a sudden your aunt Mary knows all your raunchy plans for the bachelor party. Well that kind of happened today with the Trump administration.”

Reporter: “Can you share how your information about war plans was shared with a journalist?”

Hegseth: “So you are talking about a — deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes…”


Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in an extraordinary breach of U.S. national security intelligence, disclosed war plans in a group chat that included the top editor of The Atlantic two hours before U.S. troops launched attacks against the Houthi militia in Yemen, the White House said

Pete Buttigieg: "They think all of this is a joke or a game. (Pete Hegseth) took classified information about American battle plans and randomly sent them to the wrong guy. If I made a mistake like this as a lieutenant, I would not only be fired but probably tried and in prison. If there's not accountability for this, from Trump who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here?"

US Senator Josh Hawley (R-Missouri): "What Pete Hegseth just said is an outstanding statement, even if everything The Atlantic said is true, nobody can deny the success of what Trump is doing, this is what the leftist media is reduced to, so now we're griping about who is on a text message."

Follow up no 1: So to clarify, you had a deceitful and discredited individual on your group text discussing top secret military operations?

Follow up no 2: Sir, do I smell alcohol on your breath?


When we started hearing reports that European nations were going to stop sharing intelligence information with us, we thought it was because they were concerned over our new relationship with Russia. Maybe it was because they saw what a clown show we have running our country and didn't want some moron leaking sensitive information.

What Hegseth and all of the Republican apologist are skipping over is the use of the unsecured App. They should never been using it for war planning of any kind.

My sincerest apologies for posting an article I just read.
I never knew loans were being given to children.

My bad for not spending the time that polds does surfing the net for every pearl clutching article I can find.

No need to use that many words to say "I was wrong".

It recieved a bunch of pub and was discussed on OP at the time, especially when Mr Pelosi ended up with $10m in PPP loans.

So they admit they didn't get them, they admit they have to continue to vet people they have already shipped out , they can't tell you the names of anyone they deported...now this

The White House said Monday that a Signal group chat discussing a U.S. attack on Houthis in Yemen that inadvertently included Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, "appears to be authentic."

Members of the Trump administration coordinated highly sensitive war plans on the unsecure group chat, Goldberg wrote in a report for the publication Monday. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth disputed Goldberg's description of the chat late Monday.

NEW: In a call with NBC’s Garrett Haake, Trump said Jeffrey Goldberg’s accidental inclusion in a Yemen strike group chat had “no impact at all on the operation.”

He blamed a national security aide for the “inadvertent” add, saying Michael Waltz “has learned a lesson” and is still a “good man.”
