During a Senate Energy and National Resources Committee hearing this week, Republican Senator Josh Hawley exposed a Biden official as having no clue what is going on in her own department.
Hawley grilled Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland regarding alleged shady meetings with foreign “dark-money groups” that actively fund radical left-wing environmental initiatives.
“Is it common practice at your department to meet with dark money groups off the books and conceal it from the public?” Hawley probed.
Talk about corruption: Biden’s Interior department has *off the books* meeting with liberal dark money group funded by foreign billionaire, conceals it from the public, then does everything they want. In this case, canceling critical mining in the US. To benefit China. pic.twitter.com/tfQeEXq1f3

Haaland Replied “Senator, thank you for the question, and of course, I can’t answer to, uh, if you’re referring to our former deputy secretary. He’s no longer at the department.”
“Who worked for you,” Hawley fired back.
“He worked for the president. He was appointed by the president,” Haaland said, attempting to to deflect responsibility.
“He’s your deputy secretary,” Hawley said, adding “Are you the secretary of the Department of the Interior? I thought that’s why you were here.”
Hawley then asked “Are you the secretary?” Scolding Haarland for attempting to look to colleagues for assistance.
“Don’t look at her, look at me. Are you the secretary?” he repeated.
“I am,” Haaland responded.
Hawley further asked “Do these people who are sitting here today answering most of your questions, do they work for you? Do they report for you? You’re not in charge?”
“They work with me,” Haaland answered.
“They work with you. So you’re not in charge of the department?” An exasperated Hawley asserted, adding “Oh my gosh, I thought you were in charge! I thought that was why you were here!”
“We work as a team,” Haaland responded,
“Oh, okay. So who’s in charge then?” Hawley demanded.

“Uh, I, I provide the vision, I provide the overall direction and —” Haaland stuttered.
“But you’re not in charge,” Hawley proclaimed, asking “Do you take responsibility for what happens at the Department of the Interior?”
“I take responsibility,” Haaland said.
“Good, then why are your leadership meeting with dark money groups and concealing it from the public? Why are they doing it off the books? How many times did this happen?” Hawley asked, returning to the original question.
“Senator, this is the first I’m hearing of this,” Haaland claimed, adding “I don’t, I didn’t … my deputy secretary is no longer there, and, um, I can’t answer to what he did when he was there.”
Hawley again accused Haaland of refusing to take responsibility again, and charging that Haaland’s Department has “a corruption problem.”
“We have foreign billionaires, who are funding dark-money groups, coming to meet with your leadership, concealing it from the public, while they are filing lawsuits adverse to the department,” Hawley urged, concluding “The American people should be charge—not the foreign billionaires.”

Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland:
“How”
Deb Haaland Becomes First Native American Cabinet Secretary
“Honorable”
“Honorable” would be claiming to be only an American; instead, she’s a hyphenated half-breed ashamed to be half-white.
Like Obunghole, who never honored his white mother because he prefers black women with dicks, Deb claims no heritage from her Norwegian father, an active-duty marine for thirty years.
Most “Natives”are leftist and don’t know why…..I am 1/8,the rest scotch-irish…my wife is full blood wagon burner….has no grip on political reality tho currently a Trumpist….
Most leftists are pro-idiocracy and don’t know why.
My father’s mother was half-Cherokee. Her brother, “Uncle Joe” who I never met because he was a stone alcoholic, hand-made my first bow with feathered arrows when I was four.
I didn’t know about my ‘injun’ blood until i was a teen. Back then, southerners didn’t fluff their feathers because they had tribal blood if they could pass as white.
Some Indians are a bit more trad-con/libertarian:

BEST OF RUSSELL MEANS: WELCOME TO THE RESERVATION

MARK DICE AND RUSSELL MEANS ON THE ALEX JONES SHOW, 02/12/2009, STATE SOVEREIGNTY AND BILDERBURG
WORD, that.
El Coyote, the wise Council Elder enshrined on TBP’s “Wall of Fame”, is sorely missed in these days.
His eye for irony was unsurpassed and he effortlessly yanked us into laugher at the world and ourselves.
When I’m done with this tour, I hope to see him in his happy hunting ground.
I’m native American.
I was born in America.
That’s what Russell Means would say. He said to call him an Indian and the others native Americans, if born here.
I have never seen anyone look that Jewish who wasn’t.
The literature says that there often is testable genetic overlap between American Indians and Ashkenazi Jews, who are of course significantly Asian, genetically. She may actually be an American Indian.
I have noticed that resemblance occasionally, but even her style is very Jewish. I assumed mixed race when I said it.
A small part of the big picture.

Its a message that cannot get re-sent enough……..go ahead and educate the “educated”about fractional reserve banking…..
Most if not all of these “derivatives”type financial instruments are flat out CRIMINAL!. .
truly a house of cards……
No,it didnt work in Russia…..
No….she’s NOT in charge and she can’t say that openly….it would be taking credit from HER bosses…..she can’t tell you who they are either …….nor will she…..
“Dark money?”
Does that mean Michael Jordan, Boncey and Jay Z, or maybe Al Sharpton?
Just kidding. So concerned for the First Nations, Sec. Haaland could have asked for some of that $100 billions for the Injuns on the Rez. Maybe bring many of them up to Second World level of living.
Nope, doesn’t really know who is in charge over in Zhou Bai Din’s Interior-land but still supports genocide in Gaza and fratricide in Ukraine because Communist Democrat party policy at the cabinet level.
You put a bunch of white people on a desolate reservation and in 6 months there will be running water, McDonalds, Fruit Loops on the shelves, and a gunsmith.
Wow………….that Hagland woman is sure is ugly.
These hearings and meetings are all staged productions. No other explanation.
After this and that economic advisor explaining why we print and borrow money at the same time it should be pretty clear that none of these people are actually doing anything except filling a slot.
Potemkin people.
Not a thing happens afterwards, other than a slap on the back with each other over drinks. As Camper Van Beethoven sang on “Jack Ruby”, “drinking whiskey and water after hours/saying Let’s do business boys, the drinks are on me”.
Hawley is one of the biggest whores for Jews in the congress.
Biden’s whole administration is a lie built on a stolen election…of course all the half-wit DEI hires take dark money, it’s almost their sole function..
Every once in a while we get to see how the Government really works.
