My only hope is that Nancy set a trap. She had to have known this would happen. But then what does it matter, since nothing will be done about it?

The Pandemic Response Accountability Committee is one of three portions of the coronavirus law designed to provide oversight of the biggest spending law in American history, along with a congressional oversight committee and a special inspector general to oversee a $500 billion Treasury Department fund designed to rescue flailing industries. Trump nominated Brian Miller, a White House aide and former Bush administration inspector general, to fill the latter role.

If the GOP continues to be accessories to Trump, all we can do is publicize what Trump is doing, and why.

give trillions over to Trump to hand out to big business before we even know how long this will last.
I have repeated this a dozen times here every single Republican voted against giving Obama any help with
the Great Recession. They made a pact the day he took office to oppose everything Obama wanted, they even
prevented him filling a SCOTUS vacancy. Even with this fiasco they may have helped to re-elect him. It is crazy!

Months from now there's no doubt we're going to be hearing stories of how much fraud was committed with this money. Sadly, there will probably be very little recourse, because it's going to be like the wolf guarding the hen house.
