When President Donald Trump’s administration last month awarded a contract worth up to $1.2 billion to build and operate what it says will become the nation’s largest immigration detention complex, it didn’t turn to a large government contractor or even a firm that specializes in private prisons.
Instead, it handed the project on a military base to Acquisition Logistics LLC, a small business that has no listed experience running a correction facility and had never won a federal contract worth more than $16 million. The company also lacks a functioning website and lists as its address a modest home in suburban Virginia owned by a 77-year-old retired Navy flight officer.
A multi-billion dollar contract to a home-based small business, yeah, that doesn't stink one bit. [/sarc]
Will there be a "Mission Accomplished" sign in gold letters?
ReplyDeleteIn 2017 a contract worth $300 million to work on Puerto Rico's electrical infrastructure after Hurricane Maria was awarded to Whitefish Energy holdings that was connected to the Trump administration and his Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. They had no experience at such a job and or crews to do the work required. They might as well have gotten $300 million to throw paper towels.
ReplyDeleteJust normal business procedures in Trump's Griftland.
Tom "Inhumane" Homan, Trump's immigration führer was a lobbyist for GEO Group an immigrant detention outfit that donated one million dollars to Trump. They are estimated to make $400 million in taxpayer money for as a result of Trump's and Homan's actions. It's always follow the money with these guys.
