Bidens leg hairs said:
Where was the Republican Party? Don't you think with all the millions in campaign funds that you would have a team of investigators and spies tracking the Democrat Party and trying to expose fraud like this?
This is a great question that is fairly easy to answer, you just have to follow the money.
Our government is nothing much more than laundromat for trillions of dollars that is distributed in a plethora of ways to the top tier career politicians. The once biggest money maker was WAR! The Charlie Wilson story was just the tip of the iceberg. Endless military police actions dating back to the Brown & Root LBJ days. The Military Industrial Complex that Eisenhower warned about on his way out of office. Blowing up third world countries and rebuilding them with tax money is huge business. Red and Blue politicians with DOD contractor connections push the agenda, head the committees that fund the machine and reap the spoils of war.
Then along came the Barry era when they figured out how to Superfund USAID and allow war to take a back seat to mega funding NGOs that are connected to the same politicians that gorged themselves at the DOD trough for years. Same game just a different angle and a new laundering arm of the USGov. They passed legislation that gave unlimited funding to USAID, and is was run through the US State Department when the hyperfocus was still on the DOD Costs of endless wars, USAID corruption spread like wildfire.
Trump threw a wrench into the money machine and wasn't beholding to any of the players involved. You ask where the republicans were? They were turning a blind eye to the obvious, they too wanted Trump out so they can crank up the money machine and get back in business because the beast needs to eat. It's not a red or blue thing it's a swamp thing.
