Pentagon Lied, Joins the D.C. Crowd

It is becoming clear that in order to be a Big Poohbah in D.C., one must be a liar.  Now it's the Pentagon's turn!

...The Department of Defense inspector general and acting inspectors general for the State Department and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) had assured the House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC) last year that all the warfighting equipment and financial aid was going to where it was intended in Ukraine. “Each of those testifying confirmed that no diversion of resources or military equipment could be substantiated,” Liberty Nation reported. However, a report by the Department of Defense Inspector General (DODIG), released to the public on Jan. 10, 2024, casts significant doubt on whether assurances given by the agency witnesses testifying before the HFAC last March were truthful....

The trickery and deceit in the above is red-highlighted.

Here's how that works:

 ...“Although ODC-Ukraine [Office of Defense Cooperation-Ukraine] and Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel conducted some required inventories, as of June 2, 2023, serial number inventories for more than $1.005 billion of the total $1.699 billion (59 percent of the total value) of EEUM [enhanced end-use monitoring]-designated defense articles remained delinquent. Additionally, the DoD did not maintain an accurate inventory of Ukrainian EEUM-designated defense articles.”...

Of course no diversion "could be substantiated."  That's because the Pentagon had no f*****g idea what was sent over there, nor if it was actually there at all.

If you're old enough, you remember the Clinton Parse.
