Taxpayers Paid $14K to Fly Holder, his Daughters and their Boyfriends to the Races

Eric Holder

Who says living standards are down? The Obama Gang is living it up better than ever. Want to take in the horses? Just jet on over. The American people will cover most of it. Bring your daughters. Bring their boyfriends.

Uncle Sam is footing the bill.

On a pleasant Saturday this summer, Eric Holder, his daughters, their boyfriends and two security officers boarded a government-owned Gulfstream and jetted off to New York for the Belmont Stakes Thoroughbred horse race.

Even for personal trips like this, the attorney general doesn’t fly commercial. For security reasons, Holder — like other top government officials — flies a government plane, though is required to reimburse taxpayers for airfare.

According to records obtained by The Daily Caller through a Freedom of Information Act request, Holder is getting pretty good deal here — especially when he flies a government-owned Gulfstream V jet.

That one day trip to Elmont, N.Y. on June 7, according to records provided to TheDC by the Department of Justice, ended up costing the government $14,440.

But Holder only had to reimburse the government $955 for flying him and four passengers to the final leg of the Triple Crown horse races that day.

A nation of cowards indeed.

    Ever since Team Obama entered the corridors of power, it’s been Giddy Up! at taxpayer expense. Wait until the last year of Obama’s term of office, when the free riders know it’s all coming to an end. Then you’re going to see looting that will put the Clintons to shame for walking off with whatever isn’t nailed down.

    Ben Shapiro is right. The RICO Act needs to be extended so the US Taxpayer
    can take mafioso like Holder, Jeh Johnston, Lois Lerner, the ICE director John Morton, to court. Because thats all the Obama Admin is..a Mafia.

    Here we have Obama, Holder, and their entourage of hundreds going to luxury vacation spots at taxpayer expense. Over 1000 Veterans died on VA waiting lists while 500 Million was paid to VA employees in Bonuses. Hundreds of Christians are murdered by Obama funded ISIS terrorists. Waste, fraud, incompetence and abuse will be the Legacy of the Obama Administration.

    Hmmm, that doesn’t sound very green. Where’s the idiotic environmental crowd on this? Oh right, they agree politically with this criminal, so they won’t go after him.

    Eric Holder, The epitome of law & order with dignity and fairness, equal to the way Bagdad Barry runs this Country.
    If Moochelle can travel on the Citizen’s dime, so can Holder.
    What’s the problem?
    Kings, Queens, and their Concubines should he treated like any other Royalty in a Democratic Society.
    The PoS owes his royal life to Bagdad Barry.
    I’m surprised Holder hasn’t engaged himself or his department in any type of corruption or cover-up yet…….
    Hey, wait a minute…..

    Don’t encourage it. Feeding trolls is never a good idea; they follow you home and you can never get rid of them.

    Still think Hitler is going to return like some “King Under the Mountain” to punish the Jews?

    You gutter trash never cease to amaze me with your delusional stupidity.
