Oh, for Pete’s sake. it is no big deal, other than the fact that they were supposed to be in Israel on government business.

I think that it is more scandalous that the FBI was tailing them and conducting an investigation before any crime was committed. That is the reason that the Democrats did not report it.

It was mixed company and they were there on a trip paid for by a lobbying group.

But if a bunch of adults want to do something late at night after they've been drinking in another country, whatever, my bigger problem is that it just highlights the perks that Congress critters get and how they are all but bribed with these kinds of paid vacations, or "fact-finding missions" as they like to call them.

That's the real story - the critters in Congress take a lot of trips paid for by lobbying groups, and they pretend like they are "fact-finding".
