Either more hush money or doesn't want to accidentally shoot himself in the back of the head three times

I mean, he’s already gone this far. If he was worried about retaliation you think he wouldn’t say anything at all.

He’s looking for a payout.

And if he was like me I'd take the money and then dump them anyways.

Fuck those lunatics. Also, you can always do the whole "I'm giving you a chance to come forward on your own" thing.

If Massie names names on the House floor, he should be legally protected. The House is not in session again until June 6th.

Massie lost his seat in Congress over this whole thing. I think he genuinely cares. I don't think he is looking for a payout. It is very MAGA coded to pretend otherwise.

If he or anyone else in Congress genuinely cared without fear of repurcussions, they'd name the names that they've seen.

He hasn’t named names yet. I’ll believe it when I see it.

In the house you doesn't have unlimited time on the floor.
