Those republicans. You just can't trust 'em with your money:

Podliska also leveled accusations about the committee's work environment, telling CNN that "there was very little work actually being done."

He said half the staff was "surfing the Web all day long" and said "there was plenty of drinking during the work day."

And while he was reprimanded for sharing an invitation to an event with his colleagues via work email, he said a group of staffers had set up a "gun buying club" for "chrome-plated, monogrammed Tiffany-style Glock nine millimeters" and that staffers would spend "hours at a time" designing the guns.

The committee spokesperson declined to address these allegations.
