SUPPORT THE HOUSE OF REPS REPEAL OF THE PAYOUT
To: Sen. Hawley, Sen. Schmitt
From: A verified voter in Springfield, MO
November 20
I am furious that you are even hesitating on the House bill to repeal the shameless payout for Members of Congress whose phone records were legally subpoenaed during the January 6 investigation. This isn’t complicated. No honest public servant would ever demand compensation for being part of a lawful inquiry. The fact that this payout exists at all is an insult to every taxpayer in Missouri.
You need to go straight to Senator Lindsey Graham and tell him, without hesitation or politeness, that his support for this corrupt provision is disgraceful. His endless contortions to protect Donald Trump have reduced him to a dead weight on the Senate, dragging all of you down with him. And your silence only makes it worse.
I expect you to show some courage, reject this self-serving scam, and stop rewarding misconduct. Do your jobs. Missouri is watching.
