Now to the merits--Why hasn't Powell come out forthrightly and denied any wrongdoing?
Maybe because there have been cost overruns? Cost overruns are SOP when the government is involved. I was heartened when Trump started screeching at the weapons industry, for burning so much government money, without actually delivering much of anything.
Powell can't say there are no cost overruns, if there are. He will need to mount a defense, if he can, for why he is not accountable for the cost overruns. Why Powell is being investigated, but not the "war department" for gross negligence regarding taxpayer dollars, is a political question, but that isn't what the investigation is about.
