Despite pledges of transparency, we still have no record of who got money – or how much – from the Paycheck Protection Program. Congressional Oversight Commission Member Bharat Ramamurti joins Stephanie Ruhle to explain why we don’t know where hundreds of billions of American tax dollars went, and what we can do about it. Aired on 06/16/2020.

Oversight Official Speaks On Trump Admin Keeping Details Of Bailout Funds Secret | MSNBC
Trumpism is so blatantly corrupt. And Congress should be ashamed.
@juan hernandez Fake news won’t report about all the people who have been arrested for major crimes . Like arson destroying state and personal property during the riots If they are from a different state then it’s a federal crime . They are looking at major jail time basically they have ruin their lives .
@juan hernandez Did you complain about the debt when OMAMA was President . HOW much is the yearly interest payment on the 20 trillion Trump started with .
@#TrumpIsNotWell # ANTIFA are terrorist and will be hunted down and the scum who are funding them . I hope you’re ANTIFA
@NDFOOTBALL ya, if it’s all fake with no disclosure!
@soaringvulture absolutely! There’s nothing real in that my friend!
The fleecing of America by Team Trump.
I just don’t understand how this can possibly be called a “democracy” while these crooks rob us blind
@Adam Prall This is how Fred Trump secured little Donald’s first bankroll. How much do Donald’s grandchildren already have tucked away in their in offshore accounts?
But what are our Democratic leaders in the House and Senate doing about this? Time to write to them. They would only hide this if they are stealing this. Like the protest, if we don’t get involved they don’t act. Call, write.
because this money is going to trump family businesses
Nothing new, check out “Opportunity Zones”.
Exactly
NO STATE BAILOUTS WHAT SO EVER. CORRUPTION AND THIS WILL COST THE PRESIDENCY.
He literally tells his followers not to believe what the media says he said even if there is video of him saying exactly what he didn’t say. All he has to do is yell fake news.
@DC Means I That’s not how that works. Members of the house and the senate will have to vote and then Pence announces the winner.
America, as a sanity-driven Democrazy, is already dead and is being buried in #COVID19 and #Hdroxychloroquine filled MASS GRAVES! The BIGGEST heist on American tax-payers funds aka the U.S. Federal government’s BIG purse and on Lady Liberty’s Va-J-J was successful latest when Trump openly proclaimed:
” .. could just shoot someone on 5th street and NOTHING will happen!”
120,000+ COVID-19 and gods quads police-involved dead and the biggest mass unemployed Americans since the 1930s later still NOTHING is happening to the mentally ill most criminal.Mafia Don and his theocratic foreign oligarchs operated self-enriching clown carts! The Trump-Mafia who will walk away as the new SUPER billionaires because the American system is a system of incompetence and elite corruption.
REMEMBER, even.PONZI came here to make his con artistic name even more famous!
Trump’s DELUSION of being untouchable is thus already larger that Adolph H’s after that equally insane Nazi Führer in those days successfully evade a near-death-penalty just to years later unleash one of the biggest genocides around Earth.
Oh never mind your Now. Watch.your Tomorrow rather, all yeh lovely but dumb-corrupt Abe’s Kiddos. 😊😷🤗😘

@DC Means I
If Trump contests the election, he will still no longer be President. I’m sure he will whine a great deal.
@DC Means I IF he loses the Presidency, they will jump ship with the money.
The Trump administration has been very good for the swamp.
VERY good.
Blue, America is sinking beneath GOP quicksand.

Trump turned the swamp into a cesspool.
@Projectheureka just pasting your diatribe all over the chat board is not actually a form of conversation.
@Jeffrey Down I do not “converse” with any of you violently primitive religious fanatic apes, Down!
That IS what your entire kind is to me, Kiddos! 😊😷🤗😛
LMAAO! For example, Kiddo: What a religious fundamentally ill white supremacist sociopath pretense-party the GOP just is! Trump and his genocidal theocratic billionaire clown carts certainly make no words about the serial murdering Killer cops within the police, no words about the Mafia-like brotherhoods, the KKK and Nazis within the police killing innocent people for their confederate Don and Führer Trump as for billionaire bimbos as DeVos, no words about the Christian terror organization called the NRA which funds and operate the police unions as the S.S troopers of such criminal ultra religious rightwing crony billionaires as the senile German-American Nazi Trump.
The ongoing American Fascism and Nazis is run mere by banal amusing assemblies of religious authoritarian deplorable sociopaths,, as Hillary already said so well knowingly. 😁😷🙄😍😴😴
Well no surprise here, fascistic totalitarianism was born in the far authoritarian ( Abraham’s) Kingdoms and Feudalism systems – aka under “The Church”-rule – to which today’s Vatican, as the smallest totalitarian state within the Italian state, long before Mussolini and Hitler belonged and still is a larger part of ( e.g. the other pope)
What ergo means Totalitarianism took off long, long ago in all religious / fascistic totalitarian states, from “The Church” Kingdoms, the Roman.Catholic Vatican, up to the fanatic terroristic Islamic states to the later created Jewish-only state of Bibi’s Israel ( in parts), and to the stolen lands of Americas right now certainly:

The American Mafia fully taking over the DOJ was and is predictably amusing.
Yet here you ever ignorantly self righteous religious frenetic U.S. Americans always only complained about the Russian Mafia, the Nigerian Mafia and Mexican Mafia. But now that YOU have the most corrupted American imaginary white “god-mandated” Mafia running the U.S. government with their highly sociopathic Don sitting in the White House, are you equivalently complaining? Nope!
That’s hilarious! Wonder what Russia, Nigeria, Mexico etc whom you always accused of been run by the Mafia will say to you soon?
Oh, but me too, me too Kiddos! 😁😷😁😘

Much like t’rump and his tax returns, if you have nothing to hide, then usually you have no problem with being transparent. 🙄
Right?
What are our Democratic leaders in the House and Senate doing about this? Time to write to them. They would only hide this if they are stealing this. Like the protest, if we don’t get involved they don’t act. Call, write.
Most of the politicians are corrupt, that’s why this shi+ keeps happening. That’s why we need new candidates.
The greedy baby boomers need 2 go!!
Be sure that some of that money went to Trump’s owned businesses.
Corruption runs rapidly In this Trump administration
Trump is stealing it, again, so whats new? this is his pay off, to get his mafia family out.
Trump owes Putin billions
You have issues. Probably from spending so much time alone, with the cable news. You’re brainwashed
@Stephen Slattery Slattery, your existence proves superbly well why America, as a sanity-driven Democrazy, is already dead and is being buried in #COVID19 and #Hdroxychloroquine filled MASS GRAVES!

@Stephen Slattery Donald Trump paid Jeffrey Epstein for the privilege of purchasing the virginity of underage girls as young as 12 years of age. Truth. We have an affidavit attesting to it.
Bunker boy and his administration is corrupted. No doubt his family of evil spawns and rich buddies got a BIG portion of that money.
Sir. Lancelot they are corrupt, not corrupted
It’s because millions of $ went to Trump businesses, and they need to cover it up
Walter Bo Actually they’re billionaires now.
Here’s how it works: the treasury gives large sums of money to various companies. After receiving the money, those companies each turn around and give a portion of the money to the Trump campaign. In this way, Trump gets the taxpayers to fund his campaign and in the process, he also purchases the fealty of large financial entities.
Let’s call them out for what they are ‘thieves’ lying, stealing low life’s in suits.
Disaster capitalism at its finest. So typical of this administration.
this is so corrupt with american tax money they are just thief and cons
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 22 TRILLION TAX PAYER DOLLARS THAT WENT TO THE WAR ON POVERTY.
X democrats for TRUMP 2020.
@Dionysus STFU MORON!! 🌊
Vote blue

I blame the racist Trump Supporters and Republican enablers for the destruction of our country.
Sleepy Joe for President.
Jim Battersbee gerrymandering and voter suppression along with Russia hacking to change votes won trump the presidency
@ramos1258
Nope, a corporate Democrat named Clinton, the GOP, 63 million Americans and the American Electoral college gave Trump the presidency. And now look at it, bodies everywhere, record debt, riots, protests, your own military on the streets, taxpayer funded scams, the USA is finished.
@Jim Battersbee
people will be studying for decades how this could have happened. But hopefully in 2021 we can start healing (however slowly)
@Jim Battersbee Labeling any sane Democrat “corporate” is truly pathetic. Do remember three million more voters chose Clinton, who would have made a much better president for the people. Blaming her for the antidemocratic Electoral College is moronic. She was the best candidate I’ve seen in my lifetime, and would have helped the American people much more than the demagogic Marxist, a small idiotic minority wanted. And that Marxist’s terrible, selfish behavior helped Trump win. It is Trump who is helping corporations get billions of taxpayer’s money.
@Deborah Freedman
No doubt Trump is a dirty lowlife crook but he’s also the product of a greedy self obsessed culture. All you had in 2016 was a choice between two grifters, one clearly mentally unfit and the other neither liked nor trusted. Trump/Clinton is little different to Trump/Biden, your entire two party political system is corrupt and rotten, the USA has the worst inequality in the developed world, the worst gun violence, the highest prison population, it’s the only country on the planet with a *rising* maternal death rate. None of these things are new or unique to Trump, the racism is centuries old. Your culture is a failure and Trump is a product of your culture.
Trump and his cronies are pilfering our tax dollars. Period
Boing, Trump Inc and Kushners definitely recipients of these loans. Absolutely insane!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Dionysus …. You my friend are proof positive why there should be background checks on keyboard sales.
bmon40 that makes zero sense. 3/4 of online activity is from a smart phone. Not even sure if they make keyboards anymore. 👍🏽
The corona con man and his cult of conservative cronies are corrupt to the core.
Abe Lincoln 🤣🤣🤣 It’s supposed to make as much sense as the poster I’m responding to. More for the human humour factor than anything else. Have a great day and stay safe
Trump just gave it away to his billionaire buddies , And to his is failing golf resorts and hotels
And those billionaire buddies will each give a percentage of the money to the Trump campaign. Guaranteed.
The clown is gone after November. I’m a republican voting Blue for sure.
Thank you!
Anarchy, I’m no big Biden fan but I can’t take anymore. Trump was never interested in serving us, his interests are to line his own pockets and stay out of jail. He’s the worst president in American history and the current Republican party are complicit. Vote for change in November. I’m not even bothered if chump is indicted after this, just want him gone and our country back.
WAY TO GO!!! BE ON THE SIDE OF MORALLY RIGHT. WHAT GOD WOULD ENDORSE 45?
Me too
Thank you. 🙏🏻✌🏻
The largest heist of Corporations fleecing Americans Taxpayers with Trump’s help.
@Stephen Slattery
As are you. Irrational partisan hatred goes both ways.
@Projectheureka What they fear is what the Japanese feared in world war 2 , We as one nation were the sleeping Giant, we have to be one nation again to stop this all. Divided we fall.
And you can bet that every single one of the companies who got a payoff will turn around and donate a portion of that money to the Trump campaign.
What are our Democratic leaders in the House and Senate doing about this? Time to write to them. They would only hide this if they are stealing this. Like the protest, if we don’t get involved they don’t act. Call, write.
Trump approved this fleecing. Ban Bunkerboy from the White House. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Trump and his whole administration is corrupt to the core. I can’t wait until Trump and his whole mafia crime family is out of that White House.
