Brian Anderson will make sure taxpayer money is spent correctly during the pandemic and recovery.

President Trump on Friday named a White House lawyer to be the chief watchdog to oversee the spending of $2 trillion in coronavirus stimulus money.

Brian D. Miller, a special assistant to the president and a senior associate White House counsel, will serve as Special Inspector General for Pandemic Recovery inside the Treasury Department.

Miller served as the Senate-confirmed Inspector General for the General Services Administration for nearly a decade, where he led more than 300 auditors, special agents, attorneys, and support staff in conducting nationwide audits and investigations.

As the GSA IG, Miller reported on fraud, waste, and abuse, including lavish spending on employee conference trips to Las Vegas.

Previously he served inside the Justice Department as a lawyer for the deputy attorney general and as a federal prosecutor in Virginia.

If the virus bill is full of pork (and of course, it is), Trump should name and shame the pork and the Democrats who put it there.

It is hostage money Trump agreed to in order to get the deal done quick.

Yup - and so it always goes. More bovine excrement taking our country down the tubes, but the Elite Deviants will do just fine, one more time.
If you haven’t listened to Jon Rappoport’s podcast (now on youtube), I highly recommend it. The youtube link is in his article. NOt recommended for anyone wedded to the Official Narrative.

Isn’t there someone available with a background in handling money like a CPA or a financial planner?

Good. Democrats care about wasting that money which is why they now want to give it to illegals, foreign nationals who have absolutely NO business being here.

********

I suspect they were already involved. The lawyer may be getting involved for the aftermath of yet another federal aid honeytrap.

NOPE!!! With no experience of the complex machinery of the giant federal bureaucracy? NOPE, do not want an inexperienced private sector dude. You know the famous saying, to stop crime, you hire a reformed criminal. They know the business better than others.

They should forensic audit that filthy Kennedy Center down to the red penny. I’d come out of retirement to do it...if I could from home.

Good! One of the reason you’re seeing inflated statistics is that the states (And their politicians) ) all want to get as much as they can out of this.
