Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley sent a letter this month to Department of Defense Acting Secretary Mark Esper, urging him for more information regarding contracts awarded by its Office of Net Assessment to FBI informant Stefan Halper. Halper was used by the bureau as an informant to gather information on Trump campaign volunteers during the 2016 election. Grassely stated that the information be provided no later than July 25 and he requested a full in person briefing with his committee staff on all of Halper’s contracts with the DoD.

Grassley, R-Iowa asked for the information after an audit was released by the DoD’s Inspector General’s showed that there was failure to conduct appropriate oversight of contracts awarded under the DOD. Halper had long career in the U.S. government under several GOP administrations. His connections to the CIA and FBI are extensive and he had been awarded multiple contracts with the DOD totaling $411,000 by Washington Headquarters Services on Sept. 26, 2016, for a contract that ran until this March, 2018, according to USASpending.gov.

“Shockingly, the audit found that these types of discrepancies were not unique to contracts with Professor Halper, which indicates ONA must take immediate steps to shore up its management and oversight of the contracting process,” stated Grassley.

Halper was arrested back in the mid-1990s for possession of crack cocaine. U.S. vs. Halper

You know all you need to Grassley. You know more than enough to know that the FBI and CIA needs a night of the long knives and conservatively about a 75% cut in their budgets,

Makes sense. Many fbi and cia assets are compromised individuals.

how frustrating it must be for Sara Carter and John Solomon to see how long it is taking for Spygate/Coupgate to be fully exposed.

Dems seem to move from one narrative to another at will, while Republicans can’t seem t get anything done.

I wonder how many of those contracts awarded inside the beltway continue way after any work is done? I know allot of people outside the beltway would like to have 500 grand! Is there any wonder why people in DC live the great life while the rest of America pinches pennies to raise their families! It’s also the reason the swamp will never be drained.

It sounds like Grassley is more worried about the money than the attempted coup still in progress.

Under Obama, every major institution whose job it was to defend the US, was corrupted. Now its’ DOD. which caved in to Ocommiee’s Feminization of the U.S. Military to the point that it nearly collapsed under the weight of the new Tutu uniforms and same sex bathrooms.

If anyone should be tried for treason, it is Obama and his gang of traitors and cowards. You can see many of them in the infamous “Benghazi” night photo, Obama direct from the golf course.

Was it on a “Congressional Suggestion” letterhead?
The only ones afraid is the GOP-e.

That would be because he’s the Finance Committee Chairman.

Getting paid six figures to hire some kid to write a 20-page term paper. Nice work if you can get it.
