I agree, give Wyden no credit for this stunt, after all these years. He knew about it from the very first.
However, I do give Waden credit for helping his constituents, since I am one of them.
My nephew’s widow has been trying to immigrate from Thailand to be with her now 10-year old daughter for two years. The State Department has been non-responsive. Three weeks ago she received an email telling her that her application was denied.
I called Wyden’s office for help, and they told me to have her send them an email with details about her case. Five days later she received an email from the embassy in Bangkok telling her to schedule an immigration interview.
So I will give Sen Wyden credit for doing his job, at least in regard to his constituents. Of course, I’ve always voted against him.
To be clear, you benefited not from whyden, but from his staff.
Heartening to see one tiny part of government doing its job…
