Federal Employees Could Get A Huge Windfall From Biden’s Student Loan Bailout

Federal employees could receive thousands of dollars in refunds for student loans payments that they never made under the White House’s new student loan forgiveness program.

Jason Delisle, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute who previously worked for the U.S. Senate Committee on the Budget, said in a series of tweets that some federal employees could see a significant “bonus windfall” as a result of a technicality in President Joe Biden’s new student loan forgiveness program. If an employee had previously taken advantage of a federal relief program, where the agency they worked for paid up to $10,000 per year of student loan debt, refunds offered by the Department of Education (DOE) on payments made during the pandemic would go directly to the employee, as opposed to the agency that actually made the payment, Delisle alleges.

The DOE’s website discussing qualification and conditions on the new student loan program states that any voluntary payments made during the pandemic on a loan that would have otherwise been forgiven will “automatically” be refunded, “even if someone else made a payment on your loan.” To qualify, borrowers must have an outstanding balance on their student loan payment.

The DOE website gives an example where a borrower, eligible for $10,000 in relief, paid $1,000 on a $10,500 balance during the pandemic. This borrower would see the remaining $9,500 discharged and receive a $500 refund.

Delisle directly references an Office of Personnel Management (OPM) report on the Federal Student Loan Repayment Program, and notes that per the program, federal employees had up to $10,000 per year in student loans repaid for them by the federal government agency that employed them. In 2018, 10,412 federal employees received a combined $78.7 million in federal relief, according to the OPM…

Top FBI Official In Russiagate Probe Under Scrutiny For Alleged Russian Ties: REPORT

Federal prosecutors started scrutinizing a former FBI field office counterintelligence chief for ties with Russia and other foreign governments after his involvement in the probe of the 2016 Trump campaign’s Russian contacts, according to Insider.

A grand jury assembled in late 2021 began probingCharles McGonigal, and authorities seemingly investigated his business dealings with an aide to Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska, based on court documents the outlet obtained. Washington insiders have been known to seek private benefit through public service ties, but an FBI official becoming part of a grand-jury investigation is highly unusual, according to Insider.

Deripaska did business with Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort, according to CNBC. Investigators were given 2016 emails suggesting Manafort allegedly attempted to clear significant debt to Deripaska with his campaign position, offering “private meetings” about the campaign’s progress.

“If McGonigal is mixed up in any way shape or form with Deripaska, that strikes me as unseemly, to put it politely,” Tim Weiner, author of “Enemies: A History of The FBI,” told Insider.

FBI headquarters’ cybercrimes section leader, McGonigal heard early on in 2016 about a Trump campaign official saying the Russians had negative Hillary Clinton-related information, which led to the Operation Crossfire Hurricane investigation, according to Insider. He was announced as the next leader of the New York FBI field office’s counterintelligence division that October.

A November subpoena asked for records related to McGonigal and the Spectrum Risk Solutions consulting firm, Insider reported.

Purported former Soviet foreign ministry official Sergey Shestakov claimed to have earned over $30,000 for referring Deripaska’s aide to Spectrum Risk Solutions and New York law firm Kobre & Kim, which he said McGonigal helped facilitate, according to a different late-2021 court filing the outlet cited. The law firm specializes in representing clients probed on “fraud and misconduct” suspicion.

People can be imprisoned and fined for not disclosing lobbying, public relations and other actions under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, according to Insider.

The outlet said it was not clear whether the grand jury’s investigation is primarily focused on McGonigal, and the Justice Department did not tell the outlet whether it was still active. He retired in 2018.

“The FBI has no comment,” its national press office told the Daily Caller News Foundation. McGonigal did not return the DCNF’s request for comment.

>>17524269 Martha's Vineyard Humanitarian Crisis! (50 whole illegals now residents)

So the woman said in the video, everyone here wants a job,not a handout. So is she assuming these illegals dont want a job? And why would a person staying there ask if he can leave because he needs a job to support his family? Is he held against his will at the shelter. What is the shelter for if it not for citizens that are down on their luck.

She goes on to say those who stay there are not asking for food, clothing or money? First of all isnt most of their job helping people with food, clothes and housing? Is she saying tge illegals are asking for a handout? You would think all the elite would send food, clothing anc assistance to this shelter. Is this shelter a money laundering, humsn traffiking location?

That interview was very, very strange, its slmost like that don’t offer what other homeless shelters offer. Why do they have it?

Anons, any ideas? What are they doing there?

Her final ststement these people need to go somewhere else!

Does she even think, I wonder what the border states do with those 1,000s that come into their states.

This video will go viral because of the woman’s callous way of talking, like “these dirty illegals cannot stay here”
