they have a high tolerance for the antics and ridiculous optics of this administration - done "for tee vee". But it's possible Wiles is thinking ahead should Democrats retake the House and start engaging in actual oversight of the use (and misuse) of funds, and that would result in endless negative press.

(ETA - Kegsbreath was MIA for awhile and even I was posting about needing "proof of life" regarding his whereabouts. Same with Keystone Kash!)
