Biden Charges Secret Service to Rent Cottage Next to His Home
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-charges-secret-service-to-rent-cottage-next-to-his-home

The Secret Service pays the vice president $2,200 per month to rent a cottage next to his waterfront home outside Wilmington, Del., FoxNews.com has confirmed.

The Washington Times first reported that Biden has raked in more than $13,000 since April from the agency tasked with protecting him, and under the terms of their contract could make up to $66,000 by the end of 2013.

“The amount provided is based on a government formula, not set by the homeowner...”, according to a Snopes article about the Clintons when they bought a house in NY and had their security detail live on the property. If true, then what all did that amount entail, and did Trump accept payment? According to the Snopes’ Clinton article, the Clintons didn’t accept payment, although it’s standard practice that whomever the SS agents are renting from is supposed to get paid. If the Clintons didn’t, and we know how money-hungry they are, it seems unlikely that Trump would, since he seems to be far more grateful to those who work around him than they are.

Did anyone ever do an audit on how much Nancy Pelosi misused government assets, like using a military plane to fly herself home every weekend? Or audit the number of times she, Biden, Obama, and other Democrats used military planes to fly overseas during which time, family members who flew with them conducted personal financial business on taxpayer dollars? Remember when President Trump grounded her flights during the government shutdown?

Here's another example from 2019:

Nancy Pelosi Charged The Air Force Nearly $200k To Fly Her Family And Other Lawmakers To Italy And Ukraine

Obama had vacations half way around the world to Hawaii. Did anyone question how much that cost tax payers for secret service and plane usage? Hawaii is one of the most expensive places in the country. We (the taxpayers) flipped the bill for that.

“.....including once instance in which they charged the agency $1,185 per night to protect Donald Trump Jr. when the government rate was $201.”

__________

It’s my understanding that the $1,185 was the cost for several agents and the government rate of $201 was the rate for just one. I’m not sure where I got that information, but this issue came up some time ago and someone made a point of that difference.

Don’t see Clinton listed either. THAT one was “in your face” after Clinton left the WH....Trump never went into politics to enrich himself or to rip off the taxpayers.

As I understand it, Trump asked the Secret Service for a
band-aide and didn’t use it on site. Rumors state that
he used it on a Russian immigrant, clearly proof of
collusion with Russia. /s

No the Clintons actually made the SS buy an adjacent house. Curious how much that cost?

This assumes that Government Rates were available. Government Rates are capacity controlled which means there were only a limited number of rooms that could be rented at the Government Rate.

“government rate?? Where did that come from??”

Probably GSA travel per diem rates for lodging, meals and incidentals for us worker proles. All of which, of course, go out the window when it’s the President’s security detail or staff. Hell, I’ll bet Blinken’s entourage stay in hotels well above per diem. This is garbage.

He also donated his $1,600,000 salary for the four years, so the government came out ahead.

I was living in Kailua when that mutt came to Hawaii every few months. I know houses in that neighborhood rent out anywhere from 4000 to 15000 per night. It was hell when he came. And more hell when he would go out for a shave ice because they would close all three cross island highways.
