    Federal disability is for someone injured or disabled while on duty . His attorney .Schatz couldn't explain how the former congressman's job had caused his bipolar disorder and depression. "I can't give you an explanation as to how and why," he said. "I can tell you that medical experts have diagnosed him, and as a result of the diagnosis, he is entitled to disability payments.

      Exactly. "He is entitled to it because he is entitled to it". Or, put another way: He is a member in good standing in our party. Go dig up the details and you will find a Dumbocrap party person appointed or hired by them into the bureaucracy that signed off on it. "For the People!"

    Sounds like the Democratic party is still doing their best at looting for the criminals in the party.

      I think that is an underestimated thing, I am beginning to believe they flooded the bureaucracy with their members, and they now own all the machinery of government. It explains a lot of what has been going on in DC last 30 days. The clearly owned the State Dept and Rex Tillerson has been cleaning house there and has probably barely touched it.
