Just what is the purpose of these CODELs (other than entertain politicians and their families)? Have they accomplished anything to speak of? Have they brought about peace somewhere? What are they even there for?
"It reads like a dream order for a wild frat party: Makers Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Baileys Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey and Corona beer.
But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for in-flight services including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosis trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. Thats almost $1,000 per week.
Documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by Judicial Watch, which investigates and prosecutes government corruption, show Pelosi incurred expenses of some $2.1 million for her use of Air Force jets for travel over that time.
Speaker Pelosi has a history of wasting taxpayer funds with her boorish demands for military travel, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said today. And these documents suggest the Speakers congressional delegations are more about partying than anything else.
Pelosi, D-Calif., recently joined President Obama on a Judicial Watch list of Top 10 corrupt politicians because of her sense of entitlement, the group said.
Politicians believe laws and rules (even the U.S. Constitution) apply to the rest of us but not to them. Case in point: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her excessive and boorish demands for military travel. Judicial Watch obtained documents from the Pentagon in 2008 that suggest Pelosi has been treating the Air Force like her own personal airline, the evaluation said."

Nothing is too good for old San Fran Nan.
It’s nice to know we are all working hard so Nancy and family and friends can fly all over boozing it up.
My family wont spend this much money on vacations over our entire lifetimes
And this was ONE trip
Do they write a report to we the taxpayers who pay for these trips? There should be a website that is sortable listing all such trips with their details, purposes, time spent on official business and cost.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
Im starting to think Trump needed to ground Pelosi as she is under investigation for treason and was deemed a flight risk !
Its Stealing
shes gonna pay for her sins somedays
What is their purpose? to gather friends against Trump, to let them know we are waiting him out and we will be back in business, don’t deal with him,. These treasonous evil scumbags. Fat head ted did it and so did Kerry. Im glad trump grounded them
She needs to be billed to pay that 2+ million back.
She can afford to pay it. Isnt that the rationale of every democrar socialist like Nanzi for their tax hikes on people and businesses?
I just want her to consistently live HER OWN STARED VALUES.

TALKING POINTS: Taxpayers demand these expenditures be stopped.
Americans struggle to make ends meet but are forced to pay for these useless, expensive trips for self-serving Congress members.
This must stop at once.
Nancy’s life is threatening to turn into a series of daily disclosures of her life of political corruption — caused by her refusal to end the Shutdown and thereby take herself out of the spotlight.
What I would really like to find out, now that Obama is out of office, what the real cost of his trip to India was. Was it $200 million per day?
Communism is wonderful for the inner circle.
It took four years to pry this info out of the Air force?
“Judicial Watch previously uncovered that Pelosis military travel cost the United States Air Force $2,100,744.59 over one two-year period $101,429.14 of which was for in-flight expenses, including food and alcohol.”
Over $100k for food and alcohol over 2 years? Outrageous!
Wow, that is more than some people make in an entire year.
Nazi Pelousy’s expenses are pocket change when compared with those of Michelle Antoinette.
“Michelle Obama Lavish Expenses Cost Taxpayers Big”
