One of Senator Mary Landrieu's (D-LA) Republican challengers, Colonel Rob Maness, has called on her to "produce specific details of each flight" included in the 11 page spreadsheet of "mixed-purpose" charter flights she took between 2002 and 2014 released by her campaign on Friday and described as a "full report."
"[I]f the Senator refuses to provide full disclosure for these flights," Maness told Breitbart News in an e-mail on Sunday, "she should immediately refund taxpayers for these 'mixed-purpose' chartered flights."
Breitbart News reported on Saturday that Landrieu's own press statement on Friday identified 43 such chartered flights she took between 2002 and 2014. The cost of these flights, paid by the taxpayers, was $298,883. Landrieu's attorney, Marc Elias of the law firm Perkins Coie, informed the Senate Ethics Committee that Landrieu's campaign sent a check to the U.S. Treasury on Friday in the amount of $33,727, which he determined was the campaign's pro-rata share of that $298,883.
The total amount paid by taxpayers for these mixed-purpose flights for which Landrieu claims she was not responsible is $265,156.
"President Reagan said it best: 'trust but verify,'" Maness told Breitbart News. "A disturbing pattern of behavior has emerged where Washington politicians are playing by a different set of rules and holding themselves to a completely different standard."

I made 43 mistakes between 2002 and 2014 that cost the taxpayers only $298,883, which I am contesting because I really don’t want to pay it back.
I had no clue.
Please forgive me and trust me with your vote.
lol
She will choose neither or a close enough lie to be believed as being choice one.
Silly. Democrats don’t have to disclose information that might hurt their reelection chances.
Shouldn’t this criminal freak be arrested for theft?
Been seeing this all over FB. YT is flooded with Cheap Date Mary ads too.
I'm voting Manness, because he's NOT a Rove potato head.
Absolutely!
