ch and there would be corruption. Those are the obvious problems. You want to hear another problem? Well, according to several people, including Commissioner Brendan Carr at the FCC, he said this was the worst abuse of agency process I have seen in my 12 years of working at the FCC. So I think the short version of this is that the reason things were held up so long to get that funding out and have it spent so people could get internet in rural areas is that they were kind of waiting for their preferred Democrat vendor to be ready to take the deal.

So we don't have a system that even when this is uncovered and made public and it's in the news, nothing can re
