Greenbelt, Maryland — Four men, including a government contracting officer for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and three owners and presidents of companies, have pleaded guilty for their roles in a decade-long bribery scheme involving at least 14 prime contracts worth more than $550 million in U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Roderick Watson, of Woodstock, Maryland, who worked as a USAID contracting officer, pled guilty to bribery of a public official; Walter Barnes, of Potomac, Maryland, pled guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official and securities fraud; Darryl Britt, of Myakka City, Florida, pled guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official; and Paul Young, of Columbia, Maryland, pled guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official.

In addition, Apprio and Vistant, both of which contracted with USAID, have agreed to admit criminal liability and enter into three-year deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs) in connection with criminal informations filed today in the District of Maryland. As part of these resolutions, both Apprio and Vistant admitted to engaging in a conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official and securities fraud. The DPAs entered into with Apprio and Vistant require each company to, among other obligations, provide ongoing cooperation with and disclosures to the Justice Department, implement a compliance and ethics program, and report to Justice Department regarding remediation and implementation of these compliance measures.

Turns out Elon and trump was right huh, those protesters should be thrown into prison

Grok told me that 4.5 million children have already died in Africa of aids from these cuts. And then all that food went rotting on the docks and another million died.OP it's obviously a republican, as its psychopathy is showing.

>enter into three-year deferred prosecution agreements
This means they won't be charged.

The right to protest is fundamental to all Americans, not that you would know being a foreigner.

I must've missed the part where protesting allowed you to threaten federal employees and invade government buildings. Then again what else do i expect from a domestic terrorist sympathizer whose now literally supporting bribery and corpo corruption. can you be anymore of a cocksucker

>>1414832 (OP)
I know tensions are high, but let's all take a moment to thank the good folks at DOGE who make things like rooting out govt corruption possible?
Thank you, DOGE!

Trump taking credit for shit starting under Biden again.

I like how Trump apologists suddenly care about threatening feds. Amazing transformation.

>black people cant feed their kids, fucken whypepo amiright
That sounds really close to white people aren't feeding their pets properly.
>>1414841
You have a right to protest. You do not have the right to forcefully kidnap and detain people and make them join your protest by blocking roads. You don't have a right to engage in property destruction.
You have a right to protest, you do not have the right to riot when you realize no one else cares.

Maybe have a little empathy for all the people cutting USAID starved you fucking retard. If these guys stealing from it is bad, how is it not worse to take the entire thing?

>>1414902
I have empathy for them, I'm angry at the black people in africa for not taking care of their children, while your upset because white people are a little less generous.

If I give you $50 every week to feed your kid, and then eventually I realize my house is falling apart and I stop giving you $50, whos fault is it if your kid starves to death?

>>1414903

Except in this case, your house isn't falling apart. You're deciding to cut someone in need off from what they need to live so you can have a boring little military parade for your birthday.

>>1414874
>>1414899
The Taft-Hartley Act fucked the normal methods of protest, so you get what you get. Protests that don't make people uncomfortable don't work. Keep trying to outlaw the dreg methods though, I'm sure eliminating all legal options will work out.

>>1414902

Your post makes no sense at all.

Because one is corruption, the other is just a free benefit. The free benefit is out of the kindness of someone, the corruption is illegal and extremely amoral

Yes.

>>1414906
No it didn't. You just think your the next big thing and the next big protest and when a majority of the people don't care or align with you you throw a temper tantrum.

>>1414909
Yes it did. Political strikes were how protests actually got shit done. The people standing around with signs were just the visible part to make the public aware. With general strikes off the table, we need something else to fill the "actually upset the system enough to make it change" part. Standing around way out of the way where nobody is inconvenienced will never do anything.

Hey all of Trump's fuckups happened AFTER he cut USAID.

>>1414892
nice whataboutism you deserve your citizenship revoked and send to guantanamo bay for being a terrorist. gotta love the retarded hypocritical logic of a far-lefty where 9/11 is the worst thing since hitler but riots and repeated doxing of federal employees is fine

>>1414910
>Standing around way out of the way where nobody is inconvenienced will never do anything.
This is the mentality that makes you folk riot, burn and loot it appears

>>1414915
Keep banning all the alternatives, see what happens.

>>1414917
you screech about 9/11 over and over but its fine when its done by a lefty. keep being a hypocrite and see where it gets you, oh wait you literally got trump elected and now people are asking for losers like you to be exterminated or deported. enjoy

>>1414918
Schizo take.

>>1414906
>I'm sure eliminating all legal options will work out.
..rioters have already killed Americans and burned federal buildings, how much worse can things get?

>>1414920
That's piddly shit compared to how bad it can get. Historically if the government workers aren't hanging from street lights by their necks or ankles and the buildings are still standing, it's not as bad as it can get.

>>1414920
This is where I'd put a picture of a guillotine if we could post images on this board. People tend to forget that protests are already the alternative to much, much, much more hostile action.

>>1414922
I'm trying to not be a histrionic fag, but what the fuck are you talking about

There is a politically aligned group of Americans that are supporting illegal immigrants in their attempt to recolonize California. They're waving Mexican flags and killing federal agents. They tried to shut down LAX. That's literally an insurrection.

>>1414922
if a gullotine pops up you're literally the first on the chopping block retard. the vast majority of people support trump over democrats and treason is an offense punishable by death. so yes please may the gullotine come out.

>>1414924
You're being a histrionic fag. The government does not give back power once it takes it. Letting them get away with nabbing random people because they have a quota of people to disappear (and ICE does, that's why they're going after the low hanging fruit at home depot rather than cartel safehouses) using unaccountable, anonymous thugs means letting them get away with doing that to you. The bar is already way too low and you are not the in-group. At best you're a useful idiot.

>Turns out Elon and trump was right huh
USAID's budget is $40 billion per year. This was $55 million per year, or about .1375% of USAID.

And literally nobody said there isn't fraud and corruption in government.
>The federal government loses between $233 billion and $521 billion annually to fraud, according to GAO's government-wide estimates
They said eliminating massive amounts of spending instead of just that fraud and corruption is insane, which it was. If you applied this ratio of elimination of spending to elimination of fraud to all of government, you'd see the budget reduced by 170 to 380 trillion dollars. The budget is 6.75 trillion.

SPOT THE FUCKING PROBLEM! God damn anarchists!

Don't care. You're still fucking delusional if you think the people doing long hours underpaid just for the ability to live here are "recolonizers".

>>1414941
I don't think most people fit that description, just pointing out the groups that you don't think exist clearly do in fact exist

>>1414929
plenty of other fraud cases, and this is just the highest profile case we know of so far, you'd have to be a fucking moron to think this is the only one.

>>1414933

https://oig.usaid.gov/node/7653
why are you asking for examples do you seriously believe this was the only case? here you fucking sealion.

Random googling, only since Jan 1 2025
June 2025 R. Watson + 3 execs $550M bribery conspiracy (2013–2022), Guilty pleas
May 2025 Stephen P. E. Sutton Fraud in Pakistan power project, Convicted & sentenced
April 2025 Ruth M. Mufute Wire fraud on housing allowances, Indicted
April 2025 COVID relief program staff USAID COVID-relief fraud (~$370K), Guilty plea & sentenced

>>1414951
All of these examples were being prosecuted before Trump was inaugurated.

>>1414952
wow so they knew about the fraud and they're still trying to cover up for them? democrats really are scum

>>1414947
>plenty of other fraud cases, and this is just the highest profile case we know of so far, you'd have to be a fucking moron to think this is the only one.
I didn't say this was the only one. I said burning down government agencies to address fraud is bad, actually.

Hell, I said this is at most .025% of the fraud in government.

Literally nobody has a problem with prosecuting fraud unless the person being charged is a former Republican president.

It's factually correct this investigation started in 2023 though.

>>1414966
You know ShareBlue doesn't exist anymore, right?

>>1414970
So it rebranded, is what you're saying.

Maybe they've decided they don't like you after Palantir comes online and extrapolates your post history. Maybe they just round you up in a raid by mistake but don't want to admit it. Either way, your name is Pablo now and you're off to a gulag in El Salvador where they don't allow cameras or lawyers.
