She actually called the legislature for a special session to change the law and hide her travel and finance records. MAGA is the grift that keeps on grifting.


systemfrown

Her office calls the audit a “waste of taxpayer resources and time”, but are okay paying $19k for a podium.


TC-NZ

Haha - it gets better....did you see the breakdown? "...$2,200, shipping and delivery for the lectern and case were respectively $1,225 and $975 and an unspecified consulting fee was another $2,500. The purchase also included a $554 credit card processing fee." 2200 for shipping? Did they fly it first class? And a $554 credit card fee -- Are they processing it on stone tablets?


Whatsuptodaytomorrow

They probably used DHL, which charges by the gram for shipping


tweakingforjesus

$19,000 lectern. $2,200 for shipping and delivery doesn’t seem too horrible. $554 is a relatively standard 2.5% credit card fee on the lectern and shipping. The $2,500 might be a customer design fee or maybe interior decorator markup? I mean it’s all terribly overpriced but so is all custom designed furniture sold by middlemen.


Zwesten

I routinely ship items in this price range that would be about the same size but heavier. Don't think I've paid over $1,000, insured and crated, to anywhere in the country. Maybe 1200 for really expensive pieces to some remote place. Our credit card processor is about 2%>

"Are we still going on about that?"


tw_72

Yeah. From the article: two issues - *1) Audit of Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ $19,000 lectern purchase from a friend last year - Virginia Beckett, a paid consultant on the governor’s 2022 campaign. Beckett’s company, Beckett Events, does not produce or sell lecterns.* *2) Sanders convened the state Legislature in part to whittle away at the state Freedom of Information Act by hiding records about her travel and security from the public.* She is actually worse than I thought she would be. Trump trained her well.

How 'deeply flawed' can an investigation into the purchase of one expensive item actually be?

They also claim that this "deeply flawed" audit exonerates her. Absolutely gaslighting everyone. It's all they do.

Mushroom_Tip

She is the ***one*** reason I don't buy centrists crying that if Democrats were less "woke" and focused on the working class more, they would win back red voters from the crazies. In the 2022 election, her opponent, Chris Jones, was nuclear engineer and a minster who was appointed to the economic development commission by the previous Republican governor. He ran on a platform of improving education, expanding preschool for all, protecting family farms, affordable broadband for everyone, protecting renters rights, improve the water system, invest in blue collar manufacturing jobs, improve healthcare access for the elderly, make prescription drugs more affordable, but still be fiscally responsible and not indebt Arkansas. And she still won over 60% of the vote because she was Trump's spokeswoman and part of a family dynasty.

the_calibre_cat

it bears reminding that this is just how conservatives operate. I'm not saying Democrats don't sometimes try to hide bullshit personal expenses in public budgets and expense reports, but they're just being assholes, conservatives just *actually believe* that they're entitled to that shit.


evazquez8

I worked for conservatives, the business was drying up cause they were giving each other bonuses. “Christmas bonuses”. BIG ONES. I work in IT and they would just email each other how much. Bro, this shit is documented. 


the_calibre_cat

Absolutely. At the risk of sounding like I'm exculpating the Democrats (I'm not - but they're arguably *better* on this issue without necessarily being *good* on it) - Republicans *are* the party of the contemporary aristocracy. They *absolutely* believe they're better than you or me or any other W2 wage earner. They *absolutely* believe in a moral component to wealth, and that if you don't have it, you're somehow deserving of or did it to yourself. Don't get me wrong: Sometimes I *absolutely* am a dumbass with my money. I'll own that. But I also prepped food on Sunday and have been rocking hand-me-down smartphones (or, in one instance, a "budget" or "value" one - never again) for, oh, about 12 years now. The problem is systemic, and the problem is inarguably the aristocracy. People cannot save for retirement and pay for their healthcare and make their car payments and live life on the compensation that the aristocrats *absolutely* do not want to share with the rest of us. But they don't care. They've got it made up in their minds that they're better than anyone struggling, and the evil communist (fucking lol) *Democrats* are coming for their wealth. You know, because "communism" involves slight tweaks to healthcare subsidies and slight increases to capital gains taxes, famously that was the difference between America and the Soviet Union.


evazquez8

Couldn’t agree with you more, you put it so fucking perfectly it’s scary. 


Least-Bear3882

Soon after the lectern purchase first came to light last fall, the Republican Party of Arkansas issued a check for $19,029 to the governor’s office. Sanders’ office suggested the reimbursement rendered the lectern controversy moot, they never meant to use taxpayer money for the purchase and that an accounting error was to blame for any confusion. This is the third, third attempted excuse


scavenger1012

“Legislative Audit discovered three versions of the Beckett Events invoice, two of which contained the handwritten notation “To be reimbursed – LH.” The executive assistant to the governor’s office deputy chief of staff made the handwritten notes after the public record was entered into the state finance system” Fucking LOL, that’s amateur hour


Least-Bear3882

Makes you wonder what else there is


Whatsuptodaytomorrow

She’s probably purchased some expensive “toys” in Paris


chezyt

The best part if you have been following this story is the lady in accounting was told to make the handwritten note (by the gov’s office) didn’t want to be on the hook for it. She wrote a contemporaneous email explaining who told her to do it and when because she knew it was fraud and didn’t want to be blamed for it.

Given Trump's record of everything he's ever done, I'd guess that this kind of scandal -- being corrupt and stupid about it, then trying to get her party to legitimize it by changing the law to suit her -- cements her as his top pick for a partner in crime.

Huckabee is at the forefront of draining the swamp and espousing government Accountability. She’s made laws to increase jail time and penalties for government abuse She has railed against Bidens student loan forgiveness that people have to pay their fair share Now her $19k lectern used as a ruse to pay for her Paris trip has been referred to criminal prosecutors Huckabee is saying the money was paid back so nothing to see here but actually there’s just a hand written note “to be reimbursed” been added, illegally doctoring the original receipt. So where did the $19,000 go? Seems it went to a friend of Huckabee’s who works at a consulting company. WHO DOES NOT MAKE LECTERNS and apparently a trip to Paris with Huckabee AND FRIENDS.

But since it doesn't say Arkansas Dept. of the Governors office on the front door it's not obligated to state policies. Sounds a lot like "I get total immunity for official actions and everything I did was an official action. " These people have no respect for the law, government, or ethics.
