Okay, but why is the Warmaster announcing it? Sounds like a Transport, Commerce, or Energy issue.
Watching the video, turns out there's 8(a) contracts all over the federal government, and they're one of the oldest special initiatives. It's not literally money for pajeets to run gas stations. It's a program of the Small Business Administration to assist "small disadvantaged businesses, owned by socially disadvantaged individual or tribe."
It might have had noble intentions at one point, supposedly giving small businesses run by minorities who'd been unfairly discriminated against a fair shot at competing with the big firms for those sweet, sweet government contracts. Now, it's mostly companies claiming to be some disadvantaged minority, but then don't even do any work, and just subcontract out to some large consulting firm after taking a slice off the top. You know, the kind of finder's fee pass-through fraud that O'Keefe exposed pajeets doing last year.
I think the reason we're hearing about this from Hesgeth, is because these contracts are all over the government. DoJ found $500m in 8(a) fraud. Treasury has already found another $250m in their own investigation, which is just starting. Small Business Administration is also looking at their contracts. All the departments are doing their own internal investigations and audits, What Hesgeth is announcing here is that the Department of War is getting in on the party, and starting their own internal audit/investigation.
While I fully expect the corrupt firms engaging in this to sue as Hesgeth cancels their gravy trains, and for corrupt judges to try to block these fraudulent contracts from getting cancelled, I still think this is a good thing. Multiple, concurrent audits across the various departments are likely to find overlapping fraud, but it is also likely each audit will find things the others miss. And more audits makes for more moving targets for the corrupt judges to try to deal with.
