At least half of the six contractors that built prototypes for Donald Trump’s border wall have deeply questionable histories, according to a nonpartisan watchdog group that reviewed public records, a previously unreported whistleblower lawsuit, and documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.

In a report released Tuesday, DC-based group The Project On Government Oversight (POGO) identified three contractors—Caddell Construction, W.G. Yates & Sons, and Fisher Sand & Gravel—who have been hit with multiple allegations of mismanagement and criminality.

The report found that one of the contractors, Caddell Construction, faced “debarment”— which prevents companies from extending, renewing, or bidding with any federal agencies—on multiple occasions.

Caddell Construction, which was hired to design two border wall prototypes, faced debarment by both the Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Air Force.

They're aided and abetted by our "finest" procurement officers...see Fat Leonard as a prime example.

You won't be able to read much about how Ocwen and Nationstar Mortgage screwed over thousands of homeowners with mortgages, though. Those two companies "voluntarily withdrew" from their contracts with the FDIC, thanks to the diligent work of the section I worked in a few years back.

An agency wide email issued by a senior manager in response to one of my after action reports was titled:

Houston, we have a problem...
