Hint: NO ONE. Trump IS the swamp. He makes it deeper and murkier every day, every time he embarrasses himself with his inane and insane tweets. Sad. Presidents over a hundred years ago learned to just shut up. He is Obama all over again, except less sane, and way less knowledgeable.

Do they recind contracts because of protests?<br /><br /> June 9, 2017 at 11:56 PM<br /><br /><br />If you are the current contractor and the NNSA picks someone else to take over, then you get to keep on running the show until all the protests are over, and then 90 days after the last appeal is timed out. Not a bad proposition to keep paying all your high level managers their big salaries, even if they eventually will have to move out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-40565296268980399912017-06-10T09:06:43.610-07:002017-06-10T09:06:43.610-07:00It would be interesting to know how much DOE and t...It would be interesting to know how much DOE and the bidders have spent on this contract.
