Well, by all means, let's do talk about it

"Joe Biden's $93 Billion Scandal That No One's Talking About Yet".

During a blistering Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) was visibly floored after Energy Secretary Christopher Wright dropped a bombshell: the Department of Energy handed out a staggering $93 billion in loans and commitments during the final 76 days of the Biden administration, a figure that more than doubled the loan total from the previous 15 years combined.
Kennedy, in classic fashion, drilled in with precision. “The 76-day period you’re talking about, that’s the period between the time that President Trump was elected and President Biden left office. Is that right?”
“That is correct,” Wright confirmed.
Kennedy didn’t mince words when he asked how any agency could properly vet such massive spending in such a short window. “How do you do due diligence on one loan, much less $93 billion?” he asked.

Interesting question, Senator. One likes to think that a broad, comprehensive answer might actually involve someone going to jail, but I'm not holding my breath. 

I'd sure like to have had the ink concession for those autopens.

    Another question is, who in the Administration greenlit this? Not likely it was Joe, although he never encountered a left wing project he wouldn't shovel money to.

  2. Nother question is how much the recipients paid in kickbacks and who got those kickbacks.
    Probably just another bit of thievery for which there will be no repercussions.

  3. I picture a mad scramble of grifters while somebody in the administration throws bundles of money out of a pickup, desperate to beat the deadline.
