The FBI Director—yes, the guy in charge of federal law enforcement—hopped on a $60 million Department of Justice jet to fly to Italy and watch Team USA Olympic hockey. Not commercial. Not coach. A government jet. The same aircraft he’s reportedly used for UFC fights, hunting trips, Vegas weekends, and visits to his girlfriend.

Before takeoff, he was hyping it up on X like he’s a college kid on spring break. “Snipe city for the red, white, and blue.” “The boys be buzzin.” Patriotic captions are cute. Taxpayer-funded sports tourism? Not so much.

This isn’t a one-off. Flight records previously showed a DOJ Boeing 757 landing near JFK just in time for an NHL game and heading back to D.C. right after the final buzzer. He’s made multiple trips to Nashville and Las Vegas as well. Meanwhile, reports say FBI agents were assigned to provide personal security for his girlfriend—an arrangement described by insiders as unprecedented.

All of this while major investigations are ongoing, including a high-profile missing persons case entering its third week.

Look, nobody begrudges a hockey fan their passion. But running the FBI isn’t a frequent flyer rewards program. Public service isn’t a lifestyle brand. If you once criticized others for jet-setting on the taxpayer tab, you don’t get to turn around and treat a DOJ plane like Uber Black.

Accountability shouldn’t depend on who’s in power. The badge is supposed to mean something. 🇺🇸
