(HAT TIP HENCHSTER) How Congress works: they NEVER reduce spending of any kind, so, their tax-paid IT budget allowances are still at the higher rate even though tech equipment is much cheaper.

Now, how do they tap into this slush fund?

<><> First, they circumvent the House inventory control rules to make a majority of the tax-paid budget allowance non-inventory.

<><> Second, they hire some sleazy lackey to procure, re-sell, and launder the money. (Awan)

Problem is, they hired a REALLY sleazy muzzie who, besides ripping off a bunch of the non-inventory equipment, also downloaded all their classified data to sell to ISIS.

Now the Democrat members are between a rock and a hard place:
stuck having to defend their IT guy's scams to protect their own decades-long scam.

MEMORY LANE---The House banking scandal

Bingo! Another typical Congressional abuse. Start a "bank" just for Congresscritters, loot the thing three ways from Sunday, blame the "system" while never paying the money back, and let the taxpayer cover the balances. The outdated (inflated) IT budget scam is just another of the ways these sleazebags have been outright stealing from the taxpayers. There are probably dozens of other budget scams like this.
