If he had used money or made money available from the budget without the necessary authority and had obtained a weapon without the necessary authority, it would have, he would have acted outside his mandate and there would have been impropriety in regard to at least the money that could have caused difficulties with Treasury and in that regard there could have been repercussions against him.
