#2 But, but, but, I was in charge. The money never actually never left the government. It was simply an accounting redirection of funding. "Iceberg"...no, no, no, it's the way we've always done business. Your account, my account, no one is actually accountable. All classified transactions which I am not at liberty to discuss.

#7 Sounds like 0.01% of corrupt government officials are going to be held accountable. Let’s celebrate when we get to 1%

#9 It'll never happen. Plenty of covid kyllers around like low-hanging fruit, but the Pfizer-Trump Administration does nothing.
