(58,785 posts)from outside (including Obama's Protect Democracy) are probably flipping coins for who'll get stuck handling this petty crap.
Of course, that's only if it's not handled from the inside. Most rules of law are alive and well, and very powerful, just need to be applied.
Btw, huge bow to Politico for giving this creep plenty of rope to hang himself and then fashioning the noose. Rachel was explaining last night how their first story reveled he'd chartered some private jets for work-related travel. Next story revealing there were actually dozens of charter flights. Next story revealing some were just for personal travel, not all for work. Another explaining that his public promise to repay was actually just a sleazy, contemptuous dodge to pay for one lone seat, the one he sat in, in each jet he chartered.
Masterful! For once press manipulation served truth, the people, and profits.

(54,396 posts)You use $1 million of taxpayer money to fund a travel spree in high style, pretending it was government business until the press caught you.
THEN you just quit.

Republicans claim to be the part of morals. As in having no morals.
