Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are headed to Fort Knox to see its gold hoard first hand.
Mnuchin announced Monday, while appearing with McConnell at a Chamber of Commerce event in Louisville, Ky., that he would tour the bullion depository so that he could personally attest that the roughly $200 billion worth of gold there is part of the government’s assets.
“I assume the gold is still there,” Mnuchin said.
“We’re going to find out,” McConnell joked.
“It would really be quite a movie if we walked in and there was no gold,” Mnuchin added.
The status of the government’s gold at Fort Knox is sometimes the subject of speculation and conspiracy theories. The stores are reviewed by the U.S. Mint, and the Treasury reports that the government has 147 million ounces of gold stored there.
But the vaults are not often visited by high-ranking officials. Mnuchin said Monday that he would be only the third treasury secretary to visit. He pointed out that the last time that members of Congress visited Fort Knox was 1974.
“It would really be quite a movie if we walked in and there was no gold,”
It would really be quite a movie if they walked in and all they see is tungsten plated with gold.
Unless statistically-selected random bars are drilled and checked for gold content, this whole visit is nothing more than a dog-n-pony show.
Ron Paul asked for this visit many times and was never allowed…perhaps he’d discover/reveal the truth to the public, kinda like auditing The Fed. Anything short of that…it’s all smoke and mirrors.
“I assume the gold is still there,” Mnuchin said.
“We’re going to find out,” McConnell joked.
that right there is them both admitting that they know its a ruse , fake..no gold

Turtle head is so funny – I laughed my ass off.
If there is a proper accounting of the treasury why would you need to go “visit” it?Unless you’re planning on perpetrating another fraud…
Good thing they got it out of the Twin Tower’s basement before those evil Arabs attacked.
Yeah.
I’ll believe this Jew F@#ker when Hades freezes over.
Take pics with your iPhone asswipe!
I still won’t believe it.
But you’ll have to make an effort, at least.
But effort is the one thing Jews can’t muster.
That want to purchase everything.
I’ve coined this phrase myself.
But I’m sure it’s been used before.
Be Extremely wary of any Tribe who’s members name themselves after CURRENCY.
Gold, Silver, Green, Money, etc,
Let me guess what they’ll say.
It’s all there…!
A stack of IOU’s.
I wonder if Geraldo Rivera (aka jerry rivers) will be there… hahaha
