Since Pelosi claimed this would be the most open and transparent Congress in history, she should demand that extensive reports of why these trips were necessary for the public good and publish them online so all Americans can decide for themselves if their tax monies are being spent wisely.

It's no surprise to me. Politicians love to criticise others while practicing the same behavior themselves. I guess the shame is on us [as the rank and file American] for allowing them to get away with it for so long with no repercussions.
I've long since given up expecting the pols in Washington to set the better example.
As far as I'm concerned, some of them are just - unindicted felons.
