Politico swept up in USAID scandal as records show government paid $8.2 million to left-leaning news site
Politico has become the latest target in Elon Musk's clampdown on public spending after it emerged taxpayers were footing the bill for pricey subscriptions to the outlet.
Yep. It’s also possible this is a distraction from us remembering USAID was investigating Starlink in Ukraine for shutting off satellite access to help Russia.
It is, but it's far more likely you missed or didn't understand the word could.
So many possibilities!
There are but the most likely one is you not knowing what could means.
Maybe! The one about the guy getting unrestricted access to the group investigating his company for wrongdoing makes a lot of sense though.
Conspiracy theories must be quite common for people that don't know what could means.
Getting the feeling you’re just wanting to argue or something. It’s not a theory. USAID was investigating Starlink for aiding Russia by restricting Ukraine access. That is at minimum a conflict of interest.
I’m not here to squabble. If you are I suggest goading someone else.
Based on your actions I don't think you know what squabble means either.
Further USAID was not investigating starlink. They don't have authority to investigate starlink. They were investigating how the Government of Ukraine used the USAID-provided Starlink terminals & how USAID monitored the Government of Ukraine’s use of USAID-provided Starlink terminals.
Finally Starlink was never turned off for Ukraine they denied access up to Crimea because of US sanctions on Russia.
