Yeah. Fun how they describe how they skirt the laws, ain’t it?
Wish the rest of us could take other people’s money and have fun like that.

Oh goodie - another F&F, IRS, Benghazi, PP type 'investigation'!!!!! What difference does it make? Impeachment, power of the purse, and the debt ceiling are ALL off the table.
WITH THIS GOPe LEADERSHIP AND A BOY KING IN THE WH, CONGRESS IS COMPLETELY IRRELAVANT.

Ho hum, more bread and circuses. Nothing will happen anyway.
Nothing but a bunch of spineless liars, thieves and perverts showing off and accomplishing nothing.

âNSA and Obama officials need to be investigated and prosecuted if any truth to WSJ reports,â
