Meet the Pelosi family! Using Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, Judicial Watch uncovered thousands of pages of travel documents related to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's use of military aircraft.
What hasn't been revealed so far is that military aircraft are being used to shuttle Pelosi's kids and grandkids between DC and San Francisco without any Congressional representatives even onboard! Put simply, the United States Air Force is serving as a multi-billion dollar chauffeur- and baby-sitting service for Nancy Pelosi's kids and grandkids -- presumably because commercial travel is beneath the families of the autocrats.
But this couldn't be a waste of resources because the U.S. military really isn't engaged in any other significant activities around the world.
Even if you assume that the Speaker's use of military jets for her personal travel is legitimate (a big "if" -- and here's an example of such a use), it would appear the Speaker is shipping her kids and grandkids across the country -- without any real Congressional delegation on board -- by using the military as a family shuttle service!

If this is true and gets some dissemation this might spell the end of Pelosi as Speaker even before the Nov elections.
I’m shocked!
I've heard she is a good family person. But the very idea of charging the American people for the transportation of her children and grandchildren?
Ms. Pelosi, have you no shame?
She is the champion of the culture of corruption.
What a fabulous perk; getting to have your loved ones travel with the U.S. Military. What a crazy, power-mad woman to do this.
This is an abuse of power, this idiot needs to step down.
There should be a lot of noise made to all our reps and senators about this. Public opinion WILL get results!
This will be airing on CNN and MSNBC soon I’m sure...
Agreed!
What possibly could have been going through her mind when the U.S. was running all kind of crazy deficits, to be spending like a crazy woman and cheating the public this way?
She has some explaining to do to the American people.
This is totally outrageous!!!
This might be the rope that was long enough to hang Pelosi.
I cannot envision any justification for Pelosi’s kids and grandkids flying in an Air Force plane.
Her greed may have nailed her.
She has spent something on the order of one hundred thousand dollars on food and booze on "her government jet" on our dime.
Are their penalties for miss use of federal funds? Just had a local woman (D) sent to prison because she used our small town office, transportation and equipment for personal use. She also used the town’s credit card for lunches etc not related to town businss.
Seems that Nanzi qualifies.
PAY IT BACK NANCY
YOU LOSE YOUR “PRIVILEGE” (to Nancy it’s a RIGHT) of Free Transportation.
;), tic, tic, tic, (crickets)
She is just following the example set by the President.
He even has empty (sure) AF1's fly low over New York, just for photo ops.
“If this is true and gets some dissemation this might spell the end of Pelosi as Speaker even before the Nov elections.”
Not a chance, unless the media goes into hysterics and repeatedly makes demands for full disclosure and that action be taken to pull Pelosi out of her job.
Again, not a chance.
