At Least Someone Is Asking Very Pointed Questions About Gov Half-Whit's Trip

There's at least one reporter not afraid to call Gov Whitmer out on her layers of lies about her Florida trip, and that reporter is the venerable Charlie LeDuff, 

Deadline Detroit: LeDuff: Come Clean Gov. Whitmer -- Who Flew from Michigan to Florida with You? 

Go read the whole thing.  He succinctly sums up the sordid tale and how Gov Half-Whit and her team's obfuscations and lies are just sucking her in deeper.  Deeper in that with the latest story she and her non-profit have likely committed some nasty tax code violations from her non-profit per the latest story about who funded the trip, "buying" her flight for her. 

Of course, having the non-profit charter the flight (again the story is dubious as the expense of the March flight only suddenly appears on their books in May while she was looking to spin what happened and claimed the non-profit had chartered the plane) violates the FAA rules for the operation of the aircraft - this can lead to severe sanctions against the pilots and owners of the plane.

In short, Gov Half-Whit has thrown the plane under the bus.

She's also setup her non-profit for one heckuva nasty audit, assuming the IRS decides to investigate a Democrat Governor's slush fund's doings. In addition, this may have also caused some campaign finance violations.

Here, the governor's coverup may indeed be the crime.
