Committees demand answers after officials in multiple states report the feds seized their supplies without warning
Two House committees have called on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to turn over documents related to reports that the agency is seizing orders of coronavirus medical supplies from states, as well as the involvement of President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, in overseeing those efforts.
The chairs of the House Homeland Security and Oversight committees called on FEMA to turn over documents responding to a "troubling report" from the Health and Human Services Department's inspector general detailing "severe shortages" of emergency equipment reported by hospitals around the count.

Then turning the supplies over to third party vendors for resale, is fencing stolen property.

He'll probably stroke out before he is sent to prison, but Kushner is going to spend a long, long time in prison when all this is over.

(13,540 posts)16. So this is why Barr is dredging up the "unfair" impeachment of Trump:
he wants to stop this madness against der fuhrer.
This may lead to something huge. It was done so fast, and sloppily by Trump, their are probably a lot of missing pieces to be found by congress.
