As I have said right from the beginning, although Cornyn and Tillis lost their political future, I am convinced they are getting a big payout from one or more of the billionaire "friends" for voting for Blanche.

Neither one of them ever spent even one second thinking about the TEM (Trump-Epstein-Maxwell) victims.

Blanche sold them a bill of goods, and NEVER inteneded anything substantial. He checked the boxes he needed for confirmation.

where is Tillis in this. When he stood on the Capitol steps and insisted names to be released to insisting Blanche meet with the survivors and then finding out what a disastrous meeting it was still. is going ahead and will vote for his confirmation. to leave committee without a peep about the survivors as long as the slush fund's being put off the table. is in writing. What a coward, hypocrite and lacking in. integrity man he is. He should be ashamed of himself but I guess those who lack integrity doesn't even know what that concept is.

Confirming Blanche is scraping the bottom of the barrel. If Tillis and Cornyn are getting a kickback from some billionaire then a stop payment should go on the transaction.

Did anyone expect Blanche to suddenly find a spine and integrity?

I keep repeating that the GOP and Trump used the Epstein files because they thought they could beat up on the Democrats.

They never had any intention in releasing the files or holding any of the powerful men mentioned in the Epstein files accountable.

Thank you for keeping us informed. I can always count on The Contrarian to tell me like it is. I don’t follow the Epstein story except here.

Blanche is a thoroughly corrupt protector of pedophiles. Anyone on the Judiciary Committee who votes to advance Blanche's nomination is complicit in Blanche's crimes, and any Senator who votes to confirm him is similarly complicit. They should all be out of a job. They are unfit for any position of public trust.

Apparently Susan Collins' milquetoast "I am concerned" position is pervasive. Shame on Cornyn and Tillis for not ever meeting with these victims of sexual violence. And now they will take a knee and approve yet another evil person.

Shame on them and a pox on their houses!

I don’t think the payoff was money for these 2. I think it was some action that benefited their state. Then they will be revered by the state for bringing this project, whatever it is, home.
