I don't want to excuse whatever rule violation happened, but folks, today, email, e.g. internet bandwidth is virtually free. It isn't a valuable resource.

What they should be concerned with his how the corrupt Congresscritters - all of them - abuse taxpayer funds by handing it out in the $10 and $100B to folks who don't use it for public purposes.
