The copy of the email gained through a FOIA request indicates that Sect'y and Mrs. Carson selected the dining room furniture and is found at page 60 of 163.
P.S. a link to the emails is found in the article, at the link, I posted in my original post this morning on this subject.

Additional info regarding the ongoing investigation of the Sect'y of HUD family's involvement in governmental operation and their personal enrichment thereof.

Maybe that is the newest philosophy of the GOP--that government doesn't exist to serve the masses but rather for the enrichments of the fortunate few and their family members and friends who are lucky enough to find a seat at the table.

Re: Good Grief!!!
i read the entire drama and wasted bureaucracies filled thread and frankly nothing indicates what they claim. the email to mrs Carson mentions nothing about the 31k set. it invites her to a meeting page 27 is telling of Helen getting butthurt and then telling of staff that has previously misappropriated funds. However the Only communication noted from the carsons is that the chairs are wobbly and need repair. Seems Anita Rodriguez is the source of the order and pushed it as the only solution to potentially unsafe chairs.
the one thing it makes clear is that Dr.Carson pushed toward the used option going as far as looking for himself and chose to use the budget on the blinds and again this collaborates the Carsons Statement , Its a smear campaign for those who just read the headlines and assume the implied claim is legitimate and vague accusations breed odd things in the imaginations of those looking for something.
page 51 shows the intent of Dr. Carson i think.

Re: Good Grief!!!
The email (at page 60) Clearly states that the dining room furniture was selected by "the Secretary and Mrs. Carson"...no, it is not a sworn statement signed under penalty of perjury; however, whose veracity is more believable at this point, the author of the timely email or the folks caught with their hands in the cookie jar?
Also, did you see the matter contained within that FOIA release of Carson's Daughter-in-law getting an almost $500,000 HUD contract?
My guess is that it was more Mrs. Carson and she told the Secretary what he "selected."
Edited to add: I don't believe that "the chairs" referred to in the March 3, 2017 email (at page 51) only a day or two after his confirmation were dining room chairs; but, rather office chairs.

Re: Good Grief!!!
Well I read in that she selected a style they thought was nice but declared the amounts were outrageous conceded to use the budget on window treatments and proceeded to physically go to the basement to find alternatives for furnishing. . It was later that the staff contrived to say the chairs were a danger and ordered it under a different budget. I have not read about a Hud contract. My news intake budget is overdrafted now lol
