Auctioning Wall Parts

The Biden administration is using its final weeks to haul a massive amount of border wall materials away from the southern border to be sold off in a government auction, an apparent effort to hinder President-elect Donald Trump’s effort to secure the border, The Daily Wire has learned.
Videos obtained exclusively by The Daily Wire from a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agent show unused sections of the wall being hauled away on the back of flatbed trucks from a section of the border just south of Tucson, a hotspot for illegal crossings during the Biden administration. The agent estimates that up to half a mile per day of unused border wall is being moved.
“They are taking it from three stations: Nogales, Tucson, and Three Points,” the border patrol agent, who was granted anonymity to speak freely, told The Daily Wire. “The goal is to move all of it off the border before Christmas.”
Trump made clear during his campaign that he intends to finish construction of the border wall, making use of the materials that have remained untouched at the border since President Joe Biden took office in 2021. If the material brought to the border during his first term is sold off, it will significantly delay any progress on one of Trump’s flagship campaign promises at the border.

This is third-grade level stuff.

And, it's costing money.

Remember when the Clintons took all the W's?

Really? Seriously?

Being auctioned off so that we can buy them again.

Nasty, senile, bitter old man.

[Mik]

They’ve clearly learned nothing.

[LuFins Dad]

I doubt it goes that far up… And it’s why we need a reckoning with the administrative bureaucracy.

If Trump's administration would like to investigate this incident and uncover the whos and the whys, I think the country will be interested in the results.

But that said, I'm sure there's a chance that this was scheduled before Nov 6. It would be surprising for a bureaucracy to move this quickly actually. Getting some construction materials auctioned off in a mere 5 weeks.

Agreed, but they could also have cancelled that action with too much difficulty.

Seems like it would be easy to find someone who would agree to buy it and sell it back next month, perhaps with a small markup to cover storage fees.

I was imagining a Trump-friendly wealthy person who would do it to foil the current administration.
