#3 paid by USAID funds

USAID could not have been the only group used to disburse federal funds to preferred clients. Health and Human Services, the Department of Education, the intelligence community, and DOD probably also supported all sorts of odd little projects.

#4 For many agencies, there was plenty disbursed that looked like support for gender studies in Ecuador that supported clandestine ops or other purposes. None of it should have ended up funding hits in domestic politics. Our track record for destabilizing foriegn countries is dubious at best, but the US government has no legitimate role in meddling in domestic politics. Track all the funds. Jail all the perps. Hold special elections to replace the jailed elected officials.
