And what does the Puerto Rican government have to say about this?
It’s amazing, all these mountains of coincidental connections in the Trump universe. Whitefish, WhiteHouse, WhiteRussians, WhiteLies… None of them mean anything, no, really. All coincidence. So says the WHouse ethics Czarina,
“This is a contract that was determined by the local authorities in Puerto Rico, not something that the federal government played a role in,” Sanders said at a press briefing Friday, asked if the White House was concerned about the deal. “But as we understand, there is an ongoing audit and we’ll look forward to seeing the results of that later.”
She added, asked about Trump’s donors’ ties to the company: “The federal government has nothing to do with this contract or the process. This was something solely determined by the Puerto Rican government
‘okey’
Ma Hamhock’s faux-protestations assure us that the Trump administration is deeply involved in this no-bid contract scam.
So says Trump’s handmaiden.,
Donors, time elapse, sealed FEMA dossier…seriously LOL
It’s just a job and some one has to do…I’M told. I don’t question why, I just DO IT, no matter what I own it . It’s my job. My daddy told me when I was just a little girl, to do a good job for the MAN and your rewards will be great. I never question MY DADDY.
Best description of Movement Conservatism and the GOP I’ve read.

Trump: Its Obama’s fault. He should have put stronger guidelines.
Really? Their argument is that PR authorities were given carte blanche to determine how $300M of our taxpayer dollars would be spent?
This isn’t even remotely believable. It doesn’t even pass the giggle test.
Well, think about it: If the steampunk WH HAD been involved, sunny, windy, tidal-energy abundant Puerto Rico would be building coal-powered power plants, grammar schools, private prisons, and MAGA hat factories.
Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was back with soot.
And everywhere that Mary went, his sooty foot he put.
That’s absurd, and I feel comfortable saying the courts would find such nonsense provisions are void as a matter of public policy. Of course, I’ll now be proven wrong by some elected GOP-appointed judge.
When she speaks this is all I see
Trump: If I was Whitefish, I would charge the govt like $1000/hour. Its free money. Take it while you can.
Shorter Sarah Huckabee Sanders:
“We have no idea what an honest statement is, because we have never given one from this podium.”
Then what’s the point of a White House? Let’s just shut it down now.
The contract was granted not by the PR government but by PREPA, the creditors’ committee established by an act of Congress to oversee Puerto Rico’s bankruptcy. Roselló, the governor, has called for an audit of the contract.
Except for the minor fact that the contract forbids audits/accounting follow up for Whitefish Energy Sarah…what about that?
