Congressman Tom McClintock chatted with Casey Freelove of KAHI Morning News to discuss the inherent issues with bureaucracies such as the VA.

They have none of those pressures, and therefore, they behave very much like the VA.” Congressman McClintock and Casey also discussed the recent trade of five Taliban commanders for Bowe Bergdahl.
