Guardian: The state department has said it is looking into the apparent disappearance of a nearly $6,000 bottle of whisky given more than two years ago to then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo by the government of Japan.

In a notice filed in the federal register, the department said it could find no trace of the bottle’s whereabouts and that there is an “ongoing inquiry” into what happened to the booze. The department reported the investigation in its annual accounting of gifts given to senior US officials by foreign governments and leaders.

The department’s office of protocol is required to record gifts given to US officials and keep track of their disposition. Recipients have the option of turning gifts of a certain value over to the National Archives or another government entity or purchasing them for personal use by reimbursing the treasury department for their value.

The Japanese whisky was valued at $5,800 and was presented to Pompeo in June 2019, presumably when he visited the country that month for a Group of 20 summit that was also attended by Donald Trump. But unlike other gifts, the department said there was no record of what had become of the bottle.   Read more..

  1. This may seem trivial, but lies have to be stacked onto each other the more questions are asked. This is the cork in a bottle full of them. My suspicion is , that due to the general knowledge that inventory is impossible in many departments, like the military, the loyalists were grabbing everything that was not nailed down. Thieving traitorous liars.

    • A $6000 bottle of Scotch is only worth that in some other-worldly realm. In the real world, it’s probably no better than the cheap hooch you can buy down at the 7-Eleven. The ugly truth is that someone probably drank it and found that out.
