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?

OLDIE BUT GOODIE FROM 2010 -

"It reads like a dream order for a wild frat party: Maker’s Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey’s 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 Pelosi’s trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. That’s 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 Speaker’s 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."

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.

I’m starting to think Trump needed to ground Pelosi as she is under investigation for treason and was deemed a flight risk !

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.

ACTION NOW:

Call President Trump: Comments: 202-456-1111 Switchboard: 202-456-1414

US CONGRESS SWITCHBOARD: (202) 224-3121

U.S. Department of Justice Comment Line: 202-353-1555 Switchboard: 202-514-2000

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?

“Judicial Watch previously uncovered that Pelosi’s 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!

Nazi Pelousy’s expenses are pocket change when compared with those of Michelle Antoinette.
