MSM is allowing us to do their jobs on story development. It’s fine. On pol and other sites feebs monitor. If credible information, they investigate. I strongly believe some of the 4,000 arrests worldwide in human trafficking/pizzagate came from anon digging their public sources.
If bid process is fair and CBRE was selected as lowest bid according to bid sheet/qualifications, I don’t have problem with this.
The question is, based on the “appearance” of objectivity, was this a third person transaction or was contractor given insider intel.
I have many state workers friends, who “retire”, then bid jobs from old depts-giving decision maker the appearance of fairness. In reality, they met with someone, who told them cost numbers of competitors.
If process was a blind bidder system, that would be different, too. CBRE is a huge real estate company. It’s possible everything was above board. Family members need to be subject to additional scrutiny. There are desclosures on bid forms regarding relatives working in govt. just because huge profit dollar, don’t assume it was under table payback deal. Percentage wise $1billion could be <10% profit.
Can we assume Page was the “FBI source inside Trump’s campaign”?
Reference to Feinstein’s release of transcript. Does anyone have Grassley’s reaction?
