Yeah, I'm sure Price is the first person in DC to pull a stunt like this. Get real people.
I'll put you down as being OK with his behavior.
You're still fake newsing that Obama officials didn't do the same?
Can you name one who did it?

If you had a clue, you would know the difference between Price and Mueller/Holder.
Hint, it's the same reason no one cares about Sessions or McCabe doing it.

I'm pretty sure there were no Obama officials who took non-commercial flights, who had an option to take commercial flights. There were O officials who took non-commercial flights, but they were officials who couldn't take commercial flights b/c of security concerns. Price doesn't fall in that category.
See my post above. Only 395 in three years, that's all.

First, I agree that the number of flights they took was ridiculous, and that there should be more transparency in the cost for non-mission trips.
Second, the reason that Mueller and Holder are flying government planes, rather than commercial, is that they are required to, same as Sessions and McCabe today. Taking commercial flights is not an option.
Price is not required to take gov planes, his situation is NOT the same.

No. There is no requirement that the AG and FBI director fly private. Security concerns are considered based on the specifics of the trip.

In the info I mention above, they often used an executive jet the FBI specifically purchased for sensitive counterterrroism operations for routine and personal travel. Again, 395 trips on government private jets for personal (non business related) travel. Who footed the bill? Did Mueller of Holder reimburse the USG?

I didn't say what Price did was correct, but why the double standard?

No, I'm not gullible enough to believe that this some new scam perpetrated on the public.

You should have read the actual GAO report, not relied on the AmericanStinker for your info.

From the GAO report, "All AGs and FBI Directors are "required use" travelers who are required by executive branch policy to use government aircraft for all their travel, including travel for personal reasons, because of security and communications needs."

That's why 95% of the nonmission flights were taken by the AG and FBI Director, and why over a 4 year period, there were only 38 nonmission flights taken by people other than the AG and FBI Director.
And as the GAO report stated clearly, anyone taking a government flight for personal reasons has to reimburse the government for what a commercial flight ticket would have cost.

They are only required to use government planes for official travel. They are NOT required to do so for personal, non business travel. Oh, and I did read the GAO report from 2014.

You do realize that the above quote, which says they are required to use Gov planes for all flights, including personal travel, is from the GAO report. You are directly contradicting the report you read.
