Virginia Foxx said one week ago she would not do this.  Then she did.  I plan to call her office to ask what they’re hiding all of a sudden.  [/quote]

Here is the name of every Republican who voted to block the Epstein Files Transparency Act on Tuesday.

Virginia Foxx—North Carolina

Michelle Fischbach—Minnesota

Ralph Norman—South Carolina

Chip Roy—Texas

Nicholas Langworthy—New York

Austin Scott—Georgia

H. Morgan Griffith—Virginia

Brian Jack—Georgia[/quote]

Thank you!! [/quote]

It's just self-preservation. If they had voted for the release of the files, they would be subjected to Trump's swift and fierce revenge--personal attacks on social media followed by threats to primary them. GOP senators and representatives live under Trump's reign of terror and there's not much they can do to fight back unless they all act together. But that's never going to happen. [/quote]

So what? You do the right thing and roll with the punches from the loser, even if it means losing your seat. That's what it means to be a leader.  Why run if you can't handle negative press?[/quote]

Because it's not just negative press. It's also career destruction, death threats, and possibly worse.

This is what Lisa Murkowski said: At a conference in Anchorage, Murkowski admitted, “We are all afraid. It’s quite a statement. But we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been here before. And I’ll tell you, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not right.”

It's maddening because they are the ones who put themselves in the situation to protect the system.

How do they think the rest of us feel -- esp. federal civil servants -- when the people who in a position of power do nothing?![/quote]
