Ruh-ROH … sounds like Adam Kinzinger may have some ‘splainin’ to do.
Kinzinger was ON THE BOARD of the Ukraine org that scammed people out of millions of dollars! https://t.co/xSXHOyK25b

Huh.
From The New York Times:
Last spring, a volunteer group called Ripley’s Heroes said it had spent approximately $63,000 on night-vision and thermal optics. Some of the equipment was subject to American export restrictions because, in the wrong hands, it could give enemies a battlefield advantage.
Frontline volunteers said Ripley’s delivered the equipment to Ukraine without required documentation listing the actual buyers and recipients. Recently, the federal authorities began investigating the shipments, U.S. officials said.
In his defense, the group’s founder, a retired U.S. Marine named Lt. Col. Hunter Ripley Rawlings IV, provided deal documents to The Times. But those records show that, just as the volunteers said, Ripley’s was not disclosed to the State Department as the buyer.
Yeah, that doesn’t look good.
There is now an ongoing federal investigation into Ripley's, according to NYT.
Ripley's donations were used to funnel cash from the non-profit into a for-profit venture. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this is fraud.
What did Kinzinger know about it?

Fair question.
Was Adam Kinzinger a party to a massive fraud scheme? Sure seems cozy with these guys, who visited his office in September. https://t.co/I9o2wj8XgY

Yikes.
This is outrageous

Sadly, it’s not all that outrageous anymore. So many corrupt, lying, grifters.
It's always about making money.

That’s why they always say, ‘Follow the money.’
The same guy who pretended to be James Dalton from Road House and gave himself an award for it?

Now, at this point, we can neither confirm nor deny any of this but what we can say is it looks shady AF.
And would explain soooooo much.
