Full title: Tom Fitton: 'Air Pelosi' – What you don't know about the lucrative travel our leaders enjoy on your dime
When President Trump denied House Speaker Nancy Pelosi use of a military aircraft for a CODEL (congressional delegation trip) to Afghanistan recently, he called the public’s attention to wasteful taxpayer-funded congressional travel.
In his letter to Pelosi blocking the trip, President Trump mentioned the 800,000 federal workers going without pay. The real irony is that U.S. government workers in Afghanistan, who were among those not being paid, worked for two weeks to plan the trip – and on a holiday weekend.
We at Judicial Watch were not at all surprised by this foolishness. For years we have been exposing the lucrative travel our leaders enjoy at taxpayer expense.
We have long noted Pelosi’s abuse of the perks of public office that granted her access to luxury military travel. This current expedition is hardly new for her.
In 2009, during Pelosi’s first speakership, we uncovered documents from the Department of Defense detailing her multiple requests for military air travel. The documents included internal DOD email correspondence detailing attempts by DOD staff to accommodate Pelosi’s numerous requests for military escorts and military aircraft as well as the speaker’s last-minute cancellations and changes. https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-uncovers-documents-detailing-pelosis-repeated-requests-military-travel/
In response to a series of requests for military aircraft, one Defense Department official wrote, “Any chance of politely querying [Pelosi’s team] if they really intend to do all of these or are they just picking every weekend?… [T]here’s no need to block every weekend ‘just in case’…” The email also notes that Pelosi’s office had, “a history of canceling many of their past requests.”

She is an entitled bitch. Needs a comeuppance.

One year, the bar tab —JUST the bar tab— for her yuge plane was $100,000...!
I saw her speak this morning. She ain’t well.
Her voice was all over the place. Couldn’t keep a train of thought going. Looked really confused. Even more than usual.
Seriously? That’s incredible. But given her recent spa vacation, maybe not so much
I saw part of her speech, she was even reading much of it and was still rattled.
That's a lot of Courvoisier.
“She is an entitled bitch. Needs a comeuppance.”
She is an entitled bitch and daughter of a DEMOCRAT MAYOR of Baltimore where Daddy palled around with the guys from ‘Our Thing”
See her hands shaking as well?
She sounded like a blithering idiot.
Whats the deal with the 93 family members? Who has 93 family members? Did every congressman bring a dozen family members each? Were other anonymous people listed as family? Who were they and what were they doing?
Trump needs to call her “Air Pelosi”
From a completely serious viewpoint, she does not look at all like she knows what is going on.
I haven’t seen any more info on them other than many were relatives of congress members.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
Anytime The President of the United States can stop a HATE AMERICA TOUR, it needs to be done for security reasons.
Air Pelosi with a picture of a witch on a broom.
Was that on FOX by chance? I’d like to see if there’s video of it.
With all the kickbacks the democrats get they still want lucrative travel at taxpayer expense.
Their greed has no limit
She doesn’t
And shes my congresscritter
