Even Rudy isn't that generous. He'll probably get paid via money laundering from some island...or, through the Repub campaign fund.

13. I wonder. Did the State Department pay for his flights and hotels, meals, etc?

Did they pay him anything? Is there a record of him being vetted to work for the State Department?

If it wasn't state business, that opens him to campaign finance violations, right? This whole thing is a mess, a big clusterfuck of corruption.

Barr isn't going to put the US Marshall's at Schiff's disposal anytime soon.

The responsibility of the Capitol Police was transferred from the Commissioner of Public Buildings to the Sergeants at Arms for the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in 1867.

I would be happy to accidentally Uber his ass to the capitol grounds.
