Becerra made sure his knowledgeable staff landed a long ways away from DC and had secure employment under his watchful eye and outside of the DC cocktail circuit.    /s

Xavier Becerra, California Attorney General
Sean McCluskie, Chief Deputy Attorney General

On this one issue, I love Rick Perry’s idea more. Reset them ALL to zero, then resume whichever countries “earn” the aid, by their attitudes and actions in support of the USA.

Never Trumper? RINO lover? Please explain.

Both Bushes helped destroy this country. They were barely better than Bill Clinton. Trump at one year is better than any president we have had since Reagan.

We mostly give aid to influence and further our own interests in a country or region.....occasionally humanitarian....

That was the original intent.....

If judiciously administrated and with proper oversight it can greatly influence trade and prevent regional conflicts.....saving both US Blood and Treasure....

Unfortunately, our political leaders of late (both Republican and Democrat) both improperly managed and used these programs for their own enrichment.

The entire program needs to be reviewed for true cost benefit analysis and dramatically scaled back in most areas but may need limited increase in others...

The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years...

Frankly I’m shocked it wasn’t a hell of a lot more.

Now it should be nothing.

[Dontcha just love his BOLDNESS?]

Have we had the hand-wringers yet upset that he wasn’t nicer to the foreigners who take our money and finance terrorism?

Wish my country had given me 33 billion dollars -— I would stimulate the economy with a few purchases, LOL.

George Bush took extremely aggressive actions to secure Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal and to decouple Pakistan’s ISI from the Taliban, which was a proxy for Pakistan.

Sean McCluskie was up Becerra’s butt in Congress. Pretty sure he knows where all the bodies are hid.

here’s some info

It sounds like post 9-11 you are describing, with George W. Bush in charge. I’m assuming his action in Pakistan took place following our invasion of Afghanistan, overthrowing the Taliban regime & bombing the Tora Bora mountains.

In other words, the Pakis knew we meant business, and complied. Hope Trump will achieve the same when he cuts them off without a dime, and strengthens our relationship with India.

Wonder if the evidence made the trip all the way from DC to Sacramento?

It is still unclear what type of services that Eric Holder is provide the State of California.

Xavier Becerra and his staff need to explain.
