O wow. I see no clear answers coming through on this one.

Kerry - $9 million to daughter’s foundation.

Hillary - $6 Billion Missing - check Panama Papers?

So there is $6,009,000,000.00 he can count on.

Will this figure include all the money skimmed off the top for parties, influence buying, bribes, investments, travel, and other gifts by those looting or diverting the funds into their own off shore accounts?

you forgot the price it cost for redecoration of offices. I am sure they have the best interior decorators money can buy, like the VA did.

I wonder if they’ll just refuse to answer like DOE did. Which they can do right up to January 20. After that, (clearing throat) “YOU’RE FIRED!”

This is a preemptive strike by Trump. The cockroaches scattering from the light being turned on will be duly noted for further analysis!

..! First team Trump wants OMB to detail UN expenditures....

If they refuse to tell the Oval Office anything he wants to know about their spending, that’s insubordination on the job not protected by the Union.

“January 20th, 2017 = T-Day! A date which will live in

with FDR’s Pearl Harbor quote.
