EXPOSED: Former SecDef James Mattis Had Dinner With Amazon Before $10B Contract Awarded
Well, this one is a little odd.
It might be highly unethical, too.
Let’s just jump right into it…
Here’s the scoop, via Daily Wire:
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis had a secret meeting with a top Amazon cloud sales executive in 2017 before the Pentagon announced a $10 billion cloud computing contract that critics say was designed to be fulfilled only by Amazon, Fox News’ Tucker Carlson reported on Friday.
Earlier this month, The Intercept reported:
Amazon Web Services and Microsoft are now the two finalists to win the highly contested $10 billion contract for what is known as the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI. The deal, one of the largest federal contracts in U.S. history, would pay one company to provide cloud computing services in support of Defense Department operations around the world.
Fox News’ Tucker Carlson had the scoop.
WATCH:
Self-described Democrat Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has made some statements of late that caused a group to put billboards up in New York City slamming the freshman lawmaker.
AOC was not pleased.
For example, here’s the first one…
From Daily Wire:
Job Creators Network, a nonpartisan organization founded by entrepreneurs like Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, purchased a billboard in New York City slamming socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for killing tens of thousands of jobs for New Yorkers that would have generated billions of dollars in economic activity.

AOC saw the first billboard. She figured she had to respond.
She sent a tweet calling the sign “wack”:
Few things effectively communicate the power we’ve built in fighting dark money & anti-worker policies like billionaire-funded groups blowing tons of cash on wack billboards (this one is funded by the Mercers).
(PS fact that it’s in Times Sq tells you this isn’t for/by NYers.) https://t.co/B4QTPi1r2k

The people behind the billboard then saw AOC’s response.
They decided to go after her a second time…

Now, Job Creators Network is back for thirds after AOC recently declared that she is “the boss”…
From BizPac Review:
A conservative, pro-business group unveiled the digital billboards mocking the 29-year-old progressive darling nicknamed “AOC” for her initials and her comments made during a February town hall event in which she touted herself as “the boss.”
