The Executive Branch has no business dictating to anyone that they must use government taxpayer-paid private planes for travel. The excuse that it is for security and communications is bogus. The Prime Minister of Great Britain flies on British Airways, not a private jet on the back of the taxpayers. We have let bureaucrats and politicians pull the wool over our eyes for too many years, and it has to stop.
Calm Down every one! This is an exerpt from my post below from the Government Accounting Office report: "All AGs and FBI Directors are "Required Use" Travelers who are required by executive branch policy to use government aircraft for all their travel, including travel for personal reasons, because of security and communications needs." - "According to DOJ and FBI flight data GAO reviewed, all AGs and the FBI Directors provided reimbursements for their personal travel in accordance with federal requirements." Does it appear wrong... YES - But is it... NO! It's required as part of their position citing "Security" reasons and therefore legal!
I feel that these is so much corruption that we would have to toss out the entire govt and start over
Just why do we put up with this stuff. How many other jets paid for by us taxpayers and used by appointed bureaucrats are we paying for now? This has to stop. We are out of funds to continue this madness. Even Air Force one needs to be put on a budget. The President uses it like he owns it and goes campaining in it. That is wrong. We need Patriots working these issues.
Why no one gos after him... Apparently its OK - What GAO Found
From fiscal years 2007 through 2011, three individuals who served as Attorney General (AG) and the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) accounted for 95 percent (659 out of 697 flights) of all Department of Justice (DOJ) executive nonmission flights using DOJ aircraft at a total cost of $11.4 million. Specifically, the AG and FBI Director collectively took 74 percent (490 out of 659) of all of their flights for business purposes, such as conferences, meetings, and field office visits; 24 percent (158 out of 659) for personal reasons; and 2 percent (11 out of 659) for a combination of business and personal reasons. All AGs and FBI Directors are "required use" travelers who are required by executive branch policy to use government aircraft for all their travel, including travel for personal reasons, because of security and communications needs. However, according to DOJ officials, while the AG has historically been required to use government aircraft for all types of travel, including personal travel, the FBI Director had, until 2011, the discretion to use commercial air service for his personal travel. DOJ officials told us this explains the AG's greater use of DOJ aircraft for personal reasons than the FBI Director. According to DOJ and FBI flight data we reviewed, all AGs and the FBI Director provided reimbursements for their personal travel in accordance with federal requirements. The FBI also conducts flights from a covert facility to Ronald Reagan National Airport to position aircraft to transport the AG and the FBI Director. Specifically, $1.5 million of the $11.4 million for 659 AG and FBI Director flights from fiscal years 2007 through 2011 was used to fly aircraft from this facility to Ronald Reagan National Airport prior to transporting these officials to their destinations. According to the FBI, these positioning flights are necessary because, among other things, the location where the FBI maintains the aircraft is an unmarked covert facility, and at times, the FBI initiates sensitive flight operations from this site.
Does anyone go after him....or does he just gets away with it as most of them do?
