. >> and rob andrews went to a wedding overseas and used pac money. >> that's right. it's not just about winning election, sean, it's a lifestyle subsidy. it's a way for them to live large beyond their budgets. >> you have a congresswoman, napolitano, 18% interest? >> you loan your own campaign money and you don't pay it off for 15 years and you charge 18% interest. so she bagged hundreds of thousands of dollars that contributors were putting in her pocket. >> maybe it's me or maybe it's wait they cut it up on "60 minutes," and i'm glad they did the piece because people need to know this. a big part of your book deals with the obama administration. they didn't focus on that part. >> big problems with the obama administration. eric holder is the squeegee guy holding the brick. >> explain. >> there's a couple of things going on. first of all, literally there are companies being told they're subject to department of justice investigation, criminal and civil and literally those companies are solicited to donations to the obama campaign and now to obama political committee
