Just what the criminal class needs: another slush fund.
Washington, DC..March 19, 2013
Congressman "X" resigned last night, shortly after it became public knowledge that videos of him engaging in sex acts with several young females went viral on the internet.
"X" had rigged the bedroom in his Georgetown apartment as a mini movie studio, complete with multiple hidden videocameras and microphones.
"X paid for the equipment, and the installation costs, with funds from his campaign accounts, after he had told the FEC that he was upgrading the security measures in his apartment..
Isn’t the horse kinda outa the barn as far as her personal safety is concerned?
Ollie North, call your office.
“..or officeholder activities..”
So then, the need to fly first class or chartering a plane could be said to result from the fame of being in office. Right?
So could staying in the swankiest, most exlusive lodging, etc.
That’s outrageous!
By that measure, ANYONE that’s been a victim of crime ought to have the federal government pay for added security. Since I was burglarized several years ago, I think the feds should be paying for my alarm system. Maybe I’ll apply today. LOL
So who sits on this “commission”? A bunch of lawyers.
“...improved exterior lighting, safety locks and a duress alarm button.”
As a caregiver, all these items would have been very helpful when I brought my husband home from inpatient rehab after his TBI (traumatic brain injury). Oh not for security from criminals, but for helping me monitor him as he needed round the clock supervision.
yeah, sorry she got shot, but when is her seat going to be filled by someone capable of representing her district...ie an 'officeholder'...
The Giffords might be closing the barn door after the horse is gone and in hindsight now know that spending campaign funds on security works best when done at campaign events. I think they get a pass on this one, especially with all the crazies out there.
