dubious dubai

Is this a real political scandal or just something else for the suits in D.C. to bicker about. When it comes to the current administration I am never shocked, dismayed or bothered by what comes to light.
I am curious though as to just who or whom is benefitting from this deal. My favorite quote from this Times article is the following:

"Our track record speaks for itself," said one United Arab Emirates official, who asked not to be named because of the confidential nature of the security matters.

Gotta love that irony.

Money. This all comes down to money. Somebody in D.C.--probably a whole lotta somebodys, on both sides of the aisle--is getting filthy rich from this fiasco.

Nothing will expose the true shallowness of the average human soul like raw, naked greed. And the denizens of Capitol Hill are far below average.

Wow, thanks to everyone for responding. I must agree with all of you and I concur that someone up on Capital Hill is getting filthy rich on this one, and it's likely the suits that are not complaining much about the deal. That's just a guess.
