> A lot of humanitarian aid ... ends up in the hands of terrorists.

Which you "prove" by linking to a story how $9 million was "diverted" (although the person responsible was caught and charged) out of a total of $12 billion.

That's 9 parts of 12 thousand or 0.075% that you are describing as "a lot".

If you think that is the only instance of fraud you are deluding yourself.

Here you go, from a five second Google search: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/usaid-official-and-three-corp...

There are others but I suspect there is no quantity or quality of examples that would change your mind.

Keep in mind that the fraud that is discovered and prosecuted is usually only a small fraction of what actually exists.

Evidence from the same corrupt administration that illegally destroyed USAID is not valid.

Thank you for confirming my suspicion that no evidence can convince you.

Valid Evidence can convince me but I've seen first hand that the Trump administration gleefully and shamelessly lies.

All politicians lie. They also tell the truth when it’s convenient and serves their political goals.

What makes you think this is the Trump administration lying about fraud versus them shining a light on actually fraudulent organization that you believe was doing a good job?

You tell me: what kind of Valid Evidence would convince you one way or the other?

		"All politicians lie." This is a stupid thought terminating cliche Trump supporters endlessly repeat because in fact Trump lies far more than any politician I have ever seen in my 49 years of life. He lies so much I'm not even sure he can tell the difference between his lies and reality. "What makes you think this is the Trump administration lying about fraud" Because they lie constantly about absolutely everything. "what kind of Valid Evidence would convince you one way or the other?" Evidence that comes from people not involved with destroying USAID.

It's your story - it's up to you to demonstrate the scale of loss.

So far all you have demonstrated is that US AID loses less aid money than CBH loses in grain to parrots each year.

If you think think that millions of tonnes of grain should be not transported because less than 1% is eaten by parrots then you're committed to starving millions of food.
