Even as a contractor, if I took something from a vendor amounting to almost nothing, even an ice cream cake for my birthday, I’d be in trouble.
These guys take gifts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and then lie about it, and get off with nothing. Not even a warning.
Nobody can call that right. Not even the trolls, though I’m sure they’ll try to think of an excuse.
BTW, the article Alito wrote for the WSJ flat out lied. He claimed this was a private residence, but it’s for rent to anyone with a thousand bucks a day to throw around. And the plane ride was worth 100K – it was a special charter. And the rules/laws on such matters lay airplane/travel expenses out EXPLICITLY as reportable.
