https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/07 ... o-thin-airOn March 31, three weeks after the World Health Organization designated the coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic, a DHL truck rattled up to the gray stone embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Washington, D.C., delivering precious cargo: 1 million Chinese-made diagnostic tests for COVID-19, ordered at the behest of the Trump administration.
Normally, federal government purchases come with detailed contracts, replete with acronyms and identifying codes. They require sign-off from an authorized contract officer and are typically made public in a U.S. government procurement database, under a system intended as a hedge against waste, fraud, and abuse.
This purchase did not appear in any government database. Nor was there any contract officer involved. Instead, it was documented in an invoice obtained by Vanity Fair, from a company, Cogna Technology Solutions (its own name misspelled as “Tecnology” on the bill), which noted a total order of 3.5 million tests for an amount owed of $52 million. The “client name” simply noted “WH.”
TEAM JARED
The secret, and legally dubious, acquisition of those test kits was the work of a task force at the White House, where Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and special adviser, has assumed a sprawling role in the pandemic response. That explains the “WH” on the invoice. While it’s unclear whether Kushner himself played a role in the acquisition, improper procurement of supplies “is a serious deal,” said a former White House staffer. “That is appropriations 101. That would be not good.”
Though Kushner’s outsized role has been widely reported, the procurement of Chinese-made test kits is being disclosed here for the first time. So is an even more extraordinary effort that Kushner oversaw: a secret project to devise a comprehensive plan that would have massively ramped up and coordinated testing for COVID-19 at the federal level.
Six months into the pandemic, the United States continues to suffer the worst outbreak of COVID-19 in the developed world. Considerable blame belongs to a federal response that offloaded responsibility for the crucial task of testing to the states. The irony is that, after assembling the team that came up with an aggressive and ambitious national testing plan, Kushner then appears to have decided, for reasons that remain murky, to scrap its proposal. Today, as governors and mayors scramble to stamp out epidemics plaguing their populations, philanthropists at the Rockefeller Foundation are working to fill the void and organize enough testing to bring the nationwide epidemic under control.

So it looks like Jared is largely responsible to purchasing and "vanishing" testing supplies that should have come to Michigan. Kristians, can I get an Amen!

By the same metric, your headline could read: Team Cumo and Whitmere Killed Thousands.

New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

This one is just getting started. Vanity Fair happens to have all the paperwork needed for a lengthy Congressional hearing.

Re: Team Jared Killed Thousands
I'd trust those Chinese testing kits about as far as those seeds they're sending us now, and the helpful things CHINA did in creating the virus and spreading it over the world.
History has told us you have to stand up to the bully (CHINA) and not believe the CHINA controlled WHO lies. The politicians who trust CHINA are like the politicians that pandered to Hitler before World War II. Very similar-China believes they are the new Master Race. They have been coddled by US Academia since the 60s who fawned over them and convinced them they were a superior Master Race. Americans aren't inferior, they're just lazy, and let the Chinese get ahead.

Exactly. Aided by American Academics who let them spy.
I never realized how wrong and mean spirited academics could be until I spent 2 years in Ann Arbor. The older, true geniuses were OK, but the younger Academics were just plain mean, cut throat, and did questionable research just to publish something.

Let's see where this goes. Suburbanites stuck at home won't be happy to learn the Trump administration played games with their parents lives.
