Lawmakers turned over gifts after secretly funded trip to Azerbaijan

In all, nine current member of Congress and 32 staff members attended the conference, each receiving thousands of dollars’ worth of gifts, according to the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE). Some of the lawmakers also went to Turkey after the conference in Baku and received additional gifts on that stop.

The OCE report on the trip was submitted to the House Ethics Committee on May 8, 2015, but was leaked to The Washington Post, which revealed the details of the report days later.

The watchdog said Texas-based nonprofits filed false statements saying they were paying for the trip, when, in reality, the State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic, known as Socar, helped fund the conference and trips by funneling $750,000 to the nonprofit corporations.

Reps. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.), Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.), Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-N.M.) and Rubén Hinojosa (D-Texas)

Flipping a coin would be better, as long as the coin has one tail side and one heads side. Both sides of the coin would need to be checked by an independent source NOT on the take! THAT'S how much we DON'T trust politicians!

I would prefer the coin flip over a duel.

If a duel produces at least one dead politician than I'm for it!
