DOD closes office of net acquisition allegedly involved in Trump-Russia probe

AND Ministry of Defense He dissolved his net acquisition office-the think-tank like a pentagon, which the Republicans claimed was involved in the Trump-Rusia investigation.

Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell said that civilian employees will be “transferred to critical roles” because the Dod founded a plan for the renovation of the office “in accordance with the strategic priorities of the Department”.

The office is intended to provide long-term strategic analysis within the DOD, but it has become the target of Republicans who claim that they have participated in “projects not associated with its mission.”

“Praise the gentlemen. This wise move saves US taxpayers more than $ 20 million a year,” Senator Chuck Grassley, R-iowa said in a statement.

The office called “wasteful and ineffective.”

The office has focused on strateging a potential war with China in recent years. He advocated the strategy known as the “Airse Battle”, where a blinding campaign against the National Liberation Army (PLA) of the masked bombers and submarines pulled out Chinese long -term surveillance before the naval attack.

But Grassley has been examining for years -the contractual practices.

For years, she has failed to produce classified net assessments, with the Adam Lovider’s whistle analyst once complained to e-mail director James Baker that the office has attracted overrated documents in academic style instead of classified net assessments.

“As far as quality is concerned, I have repeatedly heard the performer studies marked with” Derivat “,” Faculty Levels “, and in a large extent it was based on secondary sources,” Loverder wrote in the email in September 2016. “One of our performers studies is literally cut and glued from the World Bank report.”

Loving complained of questionable government contracts allocated to Stefan Halper, an FBI Information FBI Spying Trump’s campaign in 2016.

The DOD General Report of the DOD Inspector later found that Halper did not properly documented the research he had worked as a contractor in four studies worth $ 1 million. Four contracts, which extend from 2012 to 2016, were to cover relations between the US, Russia, China and India.

The report found that Halper did not provide proof of any meetings or locations he visited as part of his studies.

“The staff could not provide us with any evidence that Professor Halper visited any of these locations, founded an advisory group or met with any of the specific people listed in a statement of work.”

For a study of what they might look like in China in 2030, Halper suggested trips to London and Tokyo.

“The contract was a fixed price on the basis of accepting the results and did not demand that Professor Halper submitted receipts about travel. The staff could not provide documentation that Professor Halper traveled because of this contract.”

Contracts show that Halper cited a Russian intelligence official as an adviser for that project, the same intelligence official who was listed as a source in Trump’s file used for spying on Carter Page. He was in contact with Page and former Trump’s assistant campaign, George Papadopoulos, “asking questions about whether Halper used the US dollars of taxpayers to seek ties with the Trump campaign officers,” said Grassley.

Halper was also a confidential human source for the FBI investigation -a Russian involvement in the 2016 election, which recorded talks with the campaign officials.

Senator claims that she asked the stone at her Halper’s relations tests to Trump-Russia probe.

Senator Jack Reed, Dr.i., a top Democrat on the Armed Forces Committee, called the closure of the office “short -sighted”, adding that this would “undermine our ability to prepare for future conflicts.”
