Giant Grift: Biden administration has only recovered a few of the $280 billion in stolen COVID aid
Just the News ^ | 9-2-23 | John Solomon

It has been called the greatest grift in American history: an estimated $280 billion of taxpayer money that was supposed to help needy families and businesses through the COVID pandemic has been stolen.

Only about $8 billion has been recovered through Justice Department prosecutions, according to a new congressional letter that is raising serious concern that the government is essentially yawning at a staggering amount of loss in tax dollars.

House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer wrote the letter to the Justice Department last week that he believes the vast majority of unrecovered money was stolen by criminal rings in Russia, China and Nigeria.

“It is highly concerning that possibly billions of taxpayer dollars intended to help Americans suffering the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic were stolen by organized criminal rings in foreign countries,” Comer wrote.

“How much did The Big Guy get???”

Exactly. Biden does not want the recovery of the Covid money to go to deep.

I can’t believe they can’t track it down. That money had to go into someone’s bank account somewhere. There had to be applications filed to apply for aid. If they can’t find the money it’s because they don’t want to.

If anyone believes that Biden doesn’t know where every penny of the COVID $billions went, they’re dopey than he is.

Yeah, missing taxpayer money is a feature not a bug in Democrat/Globalist machinations.

And the Feds locked Martha Stewart up in the federal penitentiary for $20K legitimate capitol gains.

Maybe Biden can send those 87,000 new IRS agents to Russia, China, and Nigeria to collect our money.

"the greatest grift in American history"

If it's American history then it's World history as well.

“....were stolen by organized criminal rings in foreign countries,” Comer wrote....”

Recovered only $8 Mil. out of $280 mil. You don’t say!!! But the most crooked politician in the history of the nation is the one who dispensed the money. Follow HIS money trail and you will find most of it. The Biden Family Criminal Cartel with Don Joe calling the shots!!
