Researching Staffer Travels And USAID https://www.armenianbd.com/news/view/us-lawmakers-seek-more-aid-for-democracy-in-armenia.html Armenia?  What's in Armenia? Jackie Speier?  House Intelligence Jackie Speier? Was there any Democrat Staffer travel to Armenia? Uh, yeah.  And, there was a layover in Qatar on the trip.  Maybe that is a normal part of the route? Frank Pallone staffer traveled to Armenia February 16-23, 2019, with a layover in Qatar in February 17. The trip was sponsored by House Democracy Partnership.  Here's what the staffer trip report said about the purpose for the trip. "The goal of the delegation's visit to Armenia is to identify potential opportunities for impactful engagement by HDP with the Armenian National Assembly.  The delegations also will make recommendations around the alignment of HDP support and USAID-supported parliamentary strengthening programs in country, in line with the Foreign Assistance Act and subsequent legislation." http://clerk.house.gov/GTImages/ST/2019/500020690.pdf All sounds good, right?  Right? Except one thing was bothering me now that my eyebrows raise when I consider USAID and Democrats since HRC U1 stuff.  In this case, it's that the staffer travelling works for Frank Pallone.  The Democrat Rep. Frank Pallone.  The very Frank Pallone that Wikipedia reports "Pallone is the current Chairman of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Pallone Q says we are the news now.  So, fellow citizen journalists, am I being needlessly suspicious?  Is there more to this or all is good faithful stewardship of the spending of our tax dollars?
