      Honestly, I think it’s just desperate “any media coverage is good” type of thing. I know nothing about this dude. But it’s like, now we have to hear about him and get his stupid ass take from some interview. The requirement for protecting pedophiles is a bipartisan position at this point. The people that voted no or didn’t vote are not flags at all. The entire political system apart from some exceptions are protecting pedophile billionaires. Don’t be distracted by some idiots that are taking the heat because they have a safe district or are retiring. We saw the same shit with the Dems when they voted for the budget to stop the shutdown. It’s just some fall guys to distract you from the fact that they are all guilty.

      The files will be held as part of “an active investigation”. This shit is not gonna give anything but some leaks that won’t actually be able to convict anyone. Just enough to try to get people to stop talking about it.

        Good point. Half of the legislative branch could/should be in hospice care.

      His defense of trying to protect the victims is bullshit when the victims are saying they want all the files out, so that their trauma is exposed to everyone. His “logic” is the opposite of what the victims want

        I mean, I was kinda reading between the lines there.

        he’s not worried about the victims. He’s worried about the perpetrators who donate to him. who also happen to be not-victims.

    Clay Higgins reasoning probably, “my parents named me Clay so I can be maliable and justify supporting a vast pedophile ring.”

    Only thing I like about Twitter is when I see shit like this I can immediately go there and call that person out for being a pedophilic piece of shit. They probably won’t read it but whatever. Makes me feel slightly better.
