Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) ripped the Department of Defense’s finances for failing its fifth consecutive audit and inability to account for 61% of its $3.5 trillion in assets.

“The most ravenous Leviathan of our government that devours the people’s wealth is the Department of Defense,” Higgins said in an impassioned speech during a House Committee on Oversight and Accountability hearing on the DOD’s failed audit, financial management practices.

    Are you saying that representative pulled it out of his ass that America is sending hundreds of billions of taxpayer money to Ukraine?

      I’m saying the representative pulled out of his ass an implication that $2 trillion worth of missing assets all went to Ukraine. The stuff that went to Ukraine almost certainly is accounted for.
