Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm trying to stay on topic here...
But yes, if he used government private flights when he should have paid for his own travel.
It doesn't matter if Republicans abuse it more. Democrats are supposed to be the adults in the room. And adults don't get to get away with stuff just because the toddler threw shit on the walls.
If he didn't do anything wrong, then it's very easy to prove. There's all types of records for this stuff and a GS6 could put a report together in an afternoon.
There's zero reason not to do that
And there's no reason to waste the House of Representatives time with a floor hearing or panel, either. Because either he did or didn't. And if he did, it would have been shouted at from the rooftops rather than dragging out meetings. So we both know he didn't. Then there's the $1 salary thing which is just Greene dicking around because... they have nothing else they can do.
Just re-read what you just said. "it doesn't matter if Republicans [are corrupt assholes]. Demcorats are not supposed to be [corrupt assholes] and [not-corrupt assholes] don't get to get away with [being corrupt assholes]." I don't know about you, but I'd like to have a congress that isn't filled halfway with blatantly corrupt assholes that seem to be doing everything in their power to fuck over Americans. maybe that's just me.
Which isn't an investigation...
And would only happen if the very simple investigation showed abuse.
I dunno, I give up. Apparently I can't explain this well enough
