An undercover FBI agent investigating weapon smuggling in the Philippines spent thousands of taxpayer dollars at brothels and clubs known to offer prostitution, including one that local authorities later raided for hiring underage girls, according to court filings.
Federal prosecutors on the case conceded in court filings that the government reimbursed the agent for $14,500 for entertainment, cocktails and tips over a period of less than a year in 2010 and 2011 in relation to the case. The expenses included $1,600 on a night in September 2011 at a club known as Area 51 in Manila.

This could be entirely legit. If you’re investigating sleaze, you have to hang around with sleaze. Still, it could be as sad as with our Secret Service - working in the executive branch for a disgusting communist may have demoralized at least some members of our FBI to where they abuse their privileges just like their Dear Leader does.
Wow, per diem rules sure have changed since I worked for Civil Service. I once had my mileage claim docked because I didn’t take the shortest route home from an assignment.
My Group Manage would have had a heart attack if someone claimed entertainment expense.
For crying out loud, he was in the Phillipines. What do expect him to do at night, read a book? I’d sure like to know what he was getting for that kind of money, though.
Just curious....
