WASHINGTON – Two high-tech luxury jets that the FBI convinced Congress were needed for the fight against global terrorism have instead been used to ferry around Attorney General Eric Holder and his predecessors, as well as FBI Director Robert Mueller, according to a government report released Thursday.

Those officials -- which included Holder and Mueller, as well as former Attorneys General Michael Mukasey and Alberto Gonzales -- racked up nearly 700 "nonmission" trips between 2007 and 2011, at a cost of $11.4 million, according to the Government Accountability Office.

It is a form of theft. I would settle for Holder paying back his share.

H0lder is too chicken to have a conversation about misuse of taxpayer funded gov’t resources and all the Rules of Engagement he helped to author that allowed/encouraged the FBI to shoot/incinerate American Citizens, in country, over minor infractions.

Imagine a world, a society where doing the wrong thing never results in punishment. That’s Washington DC. Will anyone ever break the string? Not in the foreseeable future. So, the stories will continue to grow more and more outrageous.

What, I wonder, what will be the reaction when our New Emperor rides his steed into Congress and has it named our Newest Senator?

Who’s gonna prosecute him? the same guy who prosecuted the black panthers for their crime of voter imtimidation? or the same guy who admitted that he committed a crime in giving guns to drug runners and went to jail for his crime?

Don’t talk about the First Wookie like that, but

Eric Holder is a shyster, fraud, felon, gun runner and has conspired to commit murder.
May his jet encounter a flock of geese on its next trip.

That’s Bull Shit!

I’ve flown the equivalent hours and mileage as the example(DC to NYC) San Jose to Los Angeles and it doesn’t cost no $15,800!

These guys would have to be flying Net Jets and have two stewards on board, as well ordering high end menu.

I rarely order high end menu. Food is freaking expensive. I usually have sandwiches and veggies.

They must have a fully stocked bar as well and take advantage of it.

I know I clean out the bar when I get off the plane as well as grabbing the little tooth brush kits and at least two decks of playing cards.

But, we paid for that out of our own pocket.

These A-holes are looting the taxpayer and living it up like bigshots.

700 private flights in 4 years? Who the hell flies that much?

Ooops!

Need to amend my post.

A G5 carries more passengers than what I usually fly in, which carries 8, sometimes 6.

We did use a G5(or the equivalent. I don’t pay attention) a couple of times and they would cost $15K for DC to NYC.

Still, that’s a whole lotta muny for a trip that could be done for less and they should never be allowed to use them for personal use.

Fags....
