So what! He is rich on his own but his job requires it! "The accusation glosses over an unassailable requirement that the FBI’s director relies on government planes to take personal travel, the Times story notes."
“Directors must fly on government aircraft for their travel because of required access to secure communications equipment,” it reads.
Patel, the report goes on, must reimburse the government for the cost of a commercial ticket to and from the destination, far less than the cost of operating a privet jet. The story’s authors also point to three private trips the FBI director has taken to visit his girlfriend, a country singer in Nashville, Tennessee.
An FBI spokesperson replied “all ethical guidelines are rigorously followed” when asked about whether Patel is adhering to the letter of the law."
