Schiff and Hoyer book pricey taxpayer-funded military jet to Europe for speeches
Washington Examiner ^ | June 27, 2019

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., are scheduled to take a taxpayer-funded military jet to Denmark to give speeches at a ritzy pro-democracy conference, raising questions about possible misuse of resources.

Rather than book cheaper commercial flights, Schiff, Hoyer, and at least three House colleagues are scheduled to depart Joint Base Andrews on the military plane around 8:45 p.m. Thursday.

Schiff’s Friday speech kicks off a six-day Nordic jaunt that he will lead, according to an unclassified but confidential itinerary seen by the Washington Examiner. Schiff, at least four colleagues, and two committee staff also will stop in Finland and Norway.

Trump should cancel their plane like he did for Nervous Nancy. She didn’t like it one bit.

The Justice Democrats should primary Adam Schiff, with an AOC type candidate.

How expensive?

There are 5 of them going.
Whether they need to go or not might be questionable. But there might be a business case for taking the plane.

What's the excuse, that somebody has to go on a junket to smear the President and undermine the county's foreign policy? And it ain't cheap work?

Anyone who wants to know why AOC was doing her little jig outside her office need look no further. 'Tis good to be the Ruling Class.
