So...you steal $1M from taxpayers and then just quit?

[HipChick]

Price is going to back the taxpayers right? Corruption already started at the top...

1. I know, right? Personally, I'd go for a second million.

9. At least get some mileage points..

2. I thought about this, too. He needs to be hounded or sued. Smarmy babyface fuckstick.

[Hortensis]

4. He will be sued if he doesn't pay up. The groups monitoring this administration

from outside (including Obama's Protect Democracy) are probably flipping coins for who'll get stuck handling this petty crap.

Of course, that's only if it's not handled from the inside. Most rules of law are alive and well, and very powerful, just need to be applied.

Btw, huge bow to Politico for giving this creep plenty of rope to hang himself and then fashioning the noose. Rachel was explaining last night how their first story reveled he'd chartered some private jets for work-related travel. Next story revealing there were actually dozens of charter flights. Next story revealing some were just for personal travel, not all for work. Another explaining that his public promise to repay was actually just a sleazy, contemptuous dodge to pay for one lone seat, the one he sat in, in each jet he chartered.

Masterful! For once press manipulation served truth, the people, and profits.

3. FRAUD

5. "Steal" isn't accurate

"Waste" is.

Its not a Swamp; it's a Cesspool.

6. "Wants to spend more time with family"

Isn't that the standard alibi they use?

[GoCubsGo]

7. $1M that we know of.

Don't be surprised if it comes out that he was taking kickbacks, and otherwise pilfering stealing from us.

8. and they say

crime don't pay hahahaha unless your a repub right

[DFW]

10. Not at all

You use $1 million of taxpayer money to fund a travel spree in high style, pretending it was government business until the press caught you.

THEN you just quit.

[LeftInTX]

11. He won't pay it back

That is why he quit.

[Blue_true]

12. You can if you are a republican.

A Democrat not so much.

Republicans claim to be the part of morals. As in having no morals.
