US Attorneys - Fire! Fire! Fire!

Okay maybe this isn't quite fire in the US Attorney thing, but it's a whole lot of smoke, and it smells like candy.
To recap, the White House awarded a one-month, $140,000 contract to an individual who never held a federal contract. Two weeks after he got paid, that same contractor used a cashier’s check for exactly that amount to buy a boat for a now-imprisoned congressman at a price that the congressman had pre-negotiated.

I would add to the mix that MZM who got the office furniture contract was a DHS/Defense contractor with no past experience with office furniture.

(And, need I add that the office furniture was for Dick Cheney?)

Seriously, take a look.

  • This seems like a really big story - but I hesitate to get my hopes up!

  • There's certainly the possibility that he got the money and made the purchase with no one's knowledge.

    But, it smells just awful.
