    Rep. Jasmine Crockett just dropped receipts. Per ProPublica, Kristi Noem quietly funneled hundreds of millions in DHS funds to a consulting firm tied to her own campaign. “This is what corruption looks like. Public money out. Private pockets full.”

      It seems like every single member of the Trump organization is more corrupt than anyone who isn’t part of it.

      $220 Mil for an ad campaign? Wtf? –

      >Noem has hailed the more than $200 million, taxpayer-funded ad campaign as a crucial tool to stem illegal immigration. Her agency invoked the “national emergency” at the border as it awarded contracts for the campaign, bypassing the normal competitive bidding process designed to prevent waste and corruption.

      >The Department of Homeland Security has kept at least one beneficiary of the nine-figure ad deal a secret, records and interviews show: a Republican consulting firm with long-standing personal and business ties to Noem and her senior aides at DHS. The company running the Mount Rushmore shoot, called the Strategy Group, does not appear on public documents about the contract. The main recipient listed on the contracts is a mysterious Delaware company, which was created days before the deal was finalized.

      >The contracts total $220 million so far, leading the DHS ad budget to triple in the most recent fiscal year, according to Bloomberg. The lion’s share of ad contracts is typically used to buy TV airtime or spots on social media. Advertising firms make money by taking an often-hefty commission. Federal records show the contracts have gone to two firms. One is a Republican ad company in Louisiana called People Who Think, which has been awarded $77 million.

      >But the majority of the money — $143 million — has gone to a mysterious LLC in Delaware. The company was created just days before it was awarded the deal.

      It’s all just one giant fucking grift. From top to bottom, all of it is just a bunch of racist assholes enriching themselves at the expense of everyone else.

      That she knows them isn’t the problem. The problem is, the diddler and DHS cooked up some BS deal where it did not need to go out for bid. More like ‘hey you know anyone that can do this…wink, wink.’
