    Or Pete Travelling?

    I’m trying to stay on topic here…

    But yes, if he used government private flights when he should have paid for his own travel.

    It doesn’t matter if Republicans abuse it more. Democrats are supposed to be the adults in the room. And adults don’t get to get away with stuff just because the toddler threw shit on the walls.

    If he didn’t do anything wrong, then it’s very easy to prove. There’s all types of records for this stuff and a GS6 could put a report together in an afternoon.

    There’s zero reason not to do that

      And there’s no reason to waste the House of Representatives time with a floor hearing or panel, either. Because either he did or didn’t. And if he did, it would have been shouted at from the rooftops rather than dragging out meetings. So we both know he didn’t. Then there’s the $1 salary thing which is just Greene dicking around because… they have nothing else they can do.

      Just re-read what you just said. “it doesn’t matter if Republicans [are corrupt assholes]. Demcorats are not supposed to be [corrupt assholes] and [not-corrupt assholes] don’t get to get away with [being corrupt assholes].” I don’t know about you, but I’d like to have a congress that isn’t filled halfway with blatantly corrupt assholes that seem to be doing everything in their power to fuck over Americans. maybe that’s just me.

        Which isn’t an investigation…

        And would only happen if the very simple investigation showed abuse.

        I dunno, I give up. Apparently I can’t explain this well enough
