Senator Ben Sasse/Generic Senator (questioning about flights)

Everybody else is allowed to go home, just not me.

Let me keep going.

No, I'm glad you go home.

I love to go home.

But I don't go home on a private jet.

On April 5th, you attended a hockey game in New York City with Wayne Gretzky.

And Flight Tracker says the FBI jet took you to and from New York City where you don't live, right?

And on April 12th, on the following weekend, you attended a UFC flight, a fight in Miami, also on the FBI jet, right?

So what's the cost to the taxpayer for those three flights?

And so just so you know, when you are comparing me to prior directors— I asked what the cost was, and you don't know.

I take it.

Bottom line here, you flew home to Las Vegas.

There's nobody else in the FBI who gets paid.

They have to pay their own way if they want to go home, right?

So are you telling me that FBI agents who are signed in Washington but who may live in Charlotte, they get paid by the FBI to go home?

Sometimes they do, yes.

You know, Kander, I don't quite get that because if we have our man, that would suggest to the public that everybody can rest and relax and not then continue to provide information to local law enforcement and to you.

So that was a mistake.

So if you put out a statement that says we've got our man, and in fact it turns out that you didn't have your man, that's not a mistake?

And you can say whatever you want.
