Has anyone done these kinds of audits ever? Prices are shockingly higher than they have ever been because of the OBVIOUS AND BLATANT CORRUPTION of politicians funneling TRILLIONS of our tax dollars out all sort of various back doors.

Yes, USAID was successfully audited by an independent 3rd party financial auditor literally in November, for example.

And that was using actual GAAP accounting auditing methods!

So I guess if the “like this” you mean an ideological Cmd+F “audit” done by people with apparently zero financial experience, never mind public sector auditing, then no.

Can you share a specific instance of fraud that has been found?

Incredible lack of perspective. It's more than USAID. FBI, CIA, IRS, DOD, EVERYONE is being FULLY audited. This has never happened, ever. If you're not stunned about the corruption being revealed and eliminated by now, I'd suggest you've fully bought the narratives that the USAID media has pumped you. You are a target and a victim.

"Contracts I don't like" != fraud, obviously.

So I'll ask again: Can you share a specific instance of fraud that has been found?

The US Treasury can't track $4.7 trillion in payments. Medicare sent $2.7 trillion overseas to people that weren't eligible. Pentagon lost track $2.5 trillion. Social Security sends $100 billion a year to people with no identity. Department of Education spends $50 billion a year to make your kids gay. USAID spends $50 billion a year to make everybody else gay.

And you think all of that is 'not fraud'? IDGAF what it's called, people should go to prison and no other president has even tried to get in touch with this filth.

Alrighty I’m going to assume your “downvote and ignore” is to be taken as a cowardly “no, I can’t share a specific instance of fraud.”

You should have the integrity to just say it!
