(9,674 posts)52 million for 3.5 million tests that don't work with a client name simply noted as the WH. Kushner is a procurement officer?
With an investigation and subsequent charges, Ivanka's cuck should be hung up by his shriveled ball. January can't get here soon enough.

(182,877 posts)As I posted below the refrigeration mistake is Procurement 101. Brutally tragic and remarkably stupid. You dont have to be a procurement professional to know that if its in or not in the contract THAT is what will be done. Thats just the technical procurement rules.
If he made a decision (again he has zero authority) to willfully deny services based on political positioning - whew boy.

I was not aware of the extent of the Rockefeller involvement. Ive heard almost nothing about them in this whole thing. I had heard of Penn being involved (nice tease at the beginning of the article) due to an appearance he made on Fallon where it was mentioned.
They made a political decision with people's lives? Id read early on that it was Jared who advised Trump that it was nothing and to treat it like bad PR. Trump realized it was blowing up in his face and was furious with Jared.
This is some really good reporting I hope Katherine Eban is recognized for it.
