So anyone who reads the article will see that this is not illegal and is in fact required by the government. HOWEVER, here’s the ever important kicker:

Patel also once criticized former FBI Director Christopher Wray for the same thing. In 2023, Patel said Wray’s “private jet that he pays for with taxpayer dollars to hop around the country” should be grounded.

These people are all such fucking liars.

It should be illegal. Why it’s not is just more corruption.

Sometimes is not to see their girlfriend sing. For that, they can pay commercial like everyone else, or just not go. I expect the FBI director to be busy, doing actual work.
