So at what point does this go from a matter for spending more time with his family to a matter for Club Fed?

So, where do we go now? Trump appears to be disinclined to fire him (for now) and the House GOP is unlikely to impeach him. I guess it took people like Trump and Pruitt to expose the inherent flaws in our peculiar system of governance.

My assessment is both lying and ignorant, and I would toss in uncaring of rules and regulations.

Iā€™d like to suggest ā€˜contemptuous of.ā€™
These arrogant bastards not only believe that theyā€™ll get away with this shit but also apparently believe they shouldnā€™t be subject to the ruled and regulations that govern more mundane lives.

Were these guys all as much the unethical, tax-wasting, grifting, self-serving, profiteering, corrupt thieves before they joined the Trump administration? Just waiting for him to say or strongly imply, ā€œHelp yourselves to as much as you can - itā€™s open season on the taxpayers and national treasury.ā€

Wait, so Iā€™m supposed to believe that a member of Trumpā€™s cabinet is lying about unethical and corrupt behavior? I mean, all the others have been so honest.

either lying or ignorant

Here, these are clearly not mutually exclusive.

Youā€™d have to go back in time to when we had a very different Supreme Court. The recent conservative majorities have decided that you donā€™t have bribery unless the elected official and the ā€œdonorā€ agree to specific actions by the official in exchange for whatever the ā€œdonorā€ is providing as incentive/reward. I suspect that the current conservative majority with Gorsuch would concur.
