(PB) >>21826314 Retired General Barry McCaffrey says because President Trump wants to eliminate the “deep state” he’s a fascist. He’s basically admitting they are, in fact, the deep state😆

Ex-Military are some of the most detestable traitors of all. Many go to work for the Defense Industry to get rich peddling influence. Meanwhile these Defense Contractors rob the Treasury blind. No one ever goes to jail they just pay a fine and still come out way ahead on the balance sheet.

"These schemes to defraud caused the DOD to pay Raytheon over $111 million more than Raytheon should have been paid on the contracts."

Raytheon Company to Pay Over $950M in Connection with Defective Pricing, Foreign Bribery, and Export Control Schemes

Wednesday, October 16, 2024

Raytheon Company (Raytheon) — a subsidiary of Arlington, Virginia-based defense contractor RTX (formerly known as Raytheon Technologies Corporation) — will pay over $950 million to resolve the Justice Department’s investigations into: (i) a major government fraud scheme involving defective pricing on certain government contracts and (ii) violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and its implementing regulations, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

The Criminal Resolution

According to admissions and court documents filed in the District of Massachusetts, from 2012 through 2013 and again from 2017 through 2018, Raytheon employees provided false and fraudulent information to the DOD during contract negotiations concerning two contracts with the United States for the benefit of a foreign partner — one to purchase PATRIOT missile systems and the other to operate and maintain a radar system. In both instances, Raytheon employees provided false and fraudulent information to DOD in order to mislead DOD into awarding the two contracts at inflated prices. These schemes to defraud caused the DOD to pay Raytheon over $111 million more than Raytheon should have been paid on the contracts.
