SocraticGadfly: No-bid border wall contracts in Big Bend area

No-bid border wall contracts in Big Bend area

In addition to the question of whether or not a border wall will actually be built through Big Bend National Park — an issue that currently still SEEMS to be "no" but be skeptical — we have a new issue:

No-bid contracts. 

The full (for now) exposure of this dirtiness comes courtesy of a federal lawsuit. A main focus is Tommy Fisher, who built a small section of privately funded wall during Trump 1.0 that drew Der Gruppenführer's scorn then, but his largess now.

That said, the company filing the lawsuit, Posillico, has nowhere near clean skirts on wall-building, let alone wall-building opposition. This is simply another company wanting its share of the grift:

The company has previously built 43 miles of federal wall in South Texas and also won a contract to construct sections of Gov. Greg Abbott’s state border project. The state project experienced many of the same construction delays and cost overruns as Trump’s border wall.

There you are.
