“The Obama administration seemed to bust taxpayer budgets in an effort to fund the Soros operation.”
Judicial Watch said Wednesday it is suing the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to get records showing nearly $5 million in American taxpayer money went to the Macedonian branch of George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.
The conservative watchdog group filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the State Department and USAID after both failed to respond to a Feb. 16 FOIA request seeking records related to grants or payment authorizations, records of communication between State Dept. or USAID officials and the Open Society Foundations. The group had also asked for responsive records of communication sent from Jess L. Baily, an Obama-appointee and former U.S. ambassador to Macedonia, and similar records of the political activities of the Open Society Foundation-Macedonia.
The USAID website reported that between Feb. 27, 2012, and Aug. 31, 2016, USAID gave $4.8 million in taxpayer money to Soros’ organization. The USAID’s website links to one of the Open Society Foundation websites, which says the project trained hundreds of young Macedonians “on topics such as freedom of association, youth policies, citizen initiatives, persuasive argumentation, and use of new media.”

137. Sanctions for Violating FOIA
ReplyDeleteAction Against Individual Employees: Sanctions may be taken against individual agency employees who are found to have acted arbitrarily or capriciously in improperly withholding records. Additionally, the court must award attorney fees and other litigation costs against the government.
Failure to comply with a court order to produce the records in question may also result in punishment for contempt for the responsible employee.
This would be interesting information on how Soros and family is undermining the US and our elections. I have always said kick him and family out of the US and confiscate all his / their assets and sponsored tax exempt organizations.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, he is one of the biggest supporters of anti american riots, looting and illegal supporting POS Ive ever seen on this earth, along with Obama, Clinton, Sharpton, and Jackson.
