Isn't this typical of "the donald" and his ideology.
"the donald" is the biggest fake and fraud of all time.
Rep. Ryan Zinke, Donald Trump's pick for secretary of the interior, committed travel fraud when he was a member of the Navy SEAL Team 6, according to three former unit leaders and a military consultant, The Intercept reports.
While a member of the elite unit, Zinke, a Republican from Monatana, traveled numerous times to the state in 1998 and 1999 to renovate his home, the website reports. But according to The Intercept, its sources say Zinke claimed the travel was for official duties.
And, it noted, he turned in travel vouchers and was later compensated for the costs.
An investigation by two SEAL officers revealed a years-long "pattern of travel fraud," The Intercept reports. After being confronted about the trips, Zinke acknowledged the time was spent repairing and restoring a home in Whitefish, Montana and visiting his mother, two retired SEAL Team 6 leaders claim, according to The Intercept.
However, even after being caught and warned, Zinke still traveled to Montana and turned in expenses to the Navy, the website adds.
He was never punished even though he could have been referred for criminal charges or have been the focus of a non-judicial proceeding that might have led to his censure.
Again, typical, if you commit a crime all you need is to be a teabagger and you get no punishment.
A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad. Theodore Roosevelt
