Even though she’s not in Congress any more, she’s getting a government pension I’m sure (plus disability probably)... so they’re officially part of the “government ruling class” which makes them “special”. They don’t have to live by the same standards we low-life citizens have to adhere to.
Actually, she was injured on the job ~ but so far she doesn’t seem to be any more disabled than she was before the injury. A good workman’s comp fraud investigator could probably bust her down in no time.
