I infer from your rhetorical question that you are prepared to overlook her abuse. Wrongdoing needs to be punished where ever it occurs. Her abuse of the Air Force was particularly egregious and practiced with impunity. Of course we should investigate her. sd

I am not sure what punishment may be issued unless she is forced to step down.

The late Freeper Congressman Billy Bob (I would have to look up his Freeper handle) stated that members of Congress cannot be prosecuted by the law while serving in Congress.

That was why Congressman William Jefferson (D-Louisiana) was immune as long as he was a member of Congress. Once he was forced to step down, he was prosecuted.

It would be nice for Congressman Billy Bob to post to this thread...

No. This might just the tip of the iceberg. If you force her to resign, then she can be criminally prosecuted. As a member of Congress, one is immune from prosecution. At least that is my understanding from our late friend on Freerepublic Congressman Billy Bob.
