Comment on Politico swept up in USAID scandal as records show government paid $8.2 million to left-leaning news site
Thanks for the update. So it seems to have been legit payments then, neato.
Nothing in the article discusses the legitimacy of the subscriptions. It could simply be a way money was funneled.
Money can be exchanged for goods and services.
If we cannot make a determination of the legitimacy of subscriptions, we equally cannot conclude if it was funneled either.
That’s why I used the word could. In this context it’s used to express possibility.
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.
