1. ...and writing it off as a business expense.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. Well, if they were drinking all that wine....

....it might explain how that stuff got blabbered out in the first place.

Wait 'till 5 pm, folks. Always the best policy.

not that these particular lawyers were drinking it.

4. One was on our dime and the other was probably

on our dime.

5. Nice to be a fatcat republican wine guzzler defending republican TreasonWeasels

6. No, he did not. He only said that particular wine is on the BLT menu.

Looks a bottle of Perrier on the table to me.

[Sanity Claws]

7. One was WH counsel

And would have his expenses paid by taxpayers. What rules apply to expense claims of federal employees?

[onenote]

8. BS: he noted that the restaurant has a $3K bottle of wine on its wine list

They also have $40 bottles of wine on that list.

I've eaten there a few times for lunch. It's pricey, but not as pricey as several other DC restaurants.

[samnsara]

13. did they actually order a bottle that expensive?

[unc70]

14. Apparently Not.

They appeared to be drinking nothing more than Pellegrino.
