Last Thursday, Tennessee Republican Tim Burchett was the guest on the "Benny Show" podcast hosted by Benny Johnson. The topic of why conservative members of Congress vote for really un-conservative stuff came up, and Burchett's answer caused jaws to drop all over the country.
"Here's how it works," he said.
“You’re visiting—you’re out of the country or out of town or you’re in a motel or at a bar in D.C.—and whatever you’re into—women or men or whatever—comes up and they’re very attractive, and they’re laughing at your jokes. And you’re buying them a drink. Next thing you know, you’re in the motel room with them naked,”
And the next thing, you're about to make a key vote an what happens? Some well-dressed person comes out and whispers in your ear, ‘Hey, man, there’s tapes out on you.’ Or, ‘Were you in a motel room or whatever with whoever?’ And then you’re like, ‘Uh-oh.’ And they say, ‘You really ought not be voting for this thing.’”
Burchett also gave his views on why all the flight logs of Jeffrey Epstein's "Lolita Express" haven't been made public.
Too many of my colleagues, I’m afraid, are compromised in this area for whatever reason,” Mr. Burchett told Newsmax this week. “Somebody whispered in their ear saying, "Hey, you don’t want something to come out on something else, you better keep your mouth shut on this." That’s exactly what they’ve done. And it continues to go whether it's the "honey pot" the Russians used or something worse, I don't known. But it's clearly, you see that up and down the line. You see good conservatives vote for liberal policies.
Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna agreed:
I don't know how much Burchett knows, but I don't think he's the kind of guy to beclown himself by making a statement like this if it's false, because the chances of contradiction are just too high.
What we do know is that conservative Congressmen seem to be uniquely at risk for allegations of sexual impropriety. The case of Madison Cawthorn, for instance, resonates strongly with Burchett's story. Matt Gaetz was hit with what looks like spurious allegations of sex trafficking. And yes, there are enough very strange votes by conservatives that make you scratch your head, and Burchett provides a very easy-to-believe "unified field theory" to explain their actions. It also reminds us of the "Pence Rule." This rule, made famous by former vice president Mike Pence but used by sane men from time immemorial, says you don't have private dinners or meetings with members of the opposite sex...or the same sex, if you bat for that team. The outcry was so loud and vociferous — Vox.com (naturally) found an employment lawyer to claim that it was illegal behavior — that is, it was nearly suspicious-sounding.
I hope that, if Burchett has proof of this, he leaks more details to someone not afraid to run with the story, because it makes no sense to spend your time and money working for conservative senators and congressmen if they lose control of their libidos and allow themselves to be sexually compromised.
I imagine you could pick any one. I went to DC for a company convention, and shared a room with some co-workers. About 10:30 at night, one of them, who was a lesbian, said, “I’m going out for a while”. Alone. I assume she had heard of a lesbian bar somewhere nearby, and was going out for a rendezvous. She claimed she “was in a stable relationship with the same woman for 25 years”. She was repulsive. Her “stable relationship” broke up with her not too long after that. Anyway, my point is that DC is probably full of bars where compromising situations take place.
That's when I first realized that Washington DC is corrupt to the gills. Both sides of the aisle. America's modern day version of Sodom and Gomorrah. And they deserve the same treatment.
That sort of thing sounds absurdly lurid, but a friend of mine did it on behalf of the liquor lobby in a Southern state. He was in charge of a crew who filmed state legislators going into motel rooms with hookers. That work paid far more than his day job — a county deputy sheriff.
Bobert and Greene immediately come to mind.
I need a name tag that says I’m a member of congress. Maybe I could get some nookie and a few bribes along with the blackmail.
This is a plausible suspicion. If it were true, however, I would expect that this threat would be a major point of emphasis at all levels of politics in candidates schools and member-elect briefings. I would also expect whistleblowers to have come forward from time to time over the years, specifically identifying by whom and in connection with what votes they had been blackmailed. Obviously most compromised pols would desperately want to avoid exposure. But 100 percent silence over many decades? No. There would be at least a few damn the torpedoes types who came forward, a few who would go kamikazi on the dems for doing this, scattered 80 year olds who don’t care any more being willing to come clean, deathbed confessions, etc.
100 percent silence? No.
I have no personal experience of such things, but I did have an acquaintance years ago who recounted his own misadventure. He was a young Air Force officer at the time. I don’t recall if he was married at the time of the incident; he was married and no longer in the Air Force when I met him some years later. He was in a bar in, I think, Washington, D.C. Some attractive young ladies struck up a conversation. He doesn’t recall anything untoward happening at the bar; they were having a couple of drinks and chatting it up. The next thing he DOES remember was waking up naked in bed in a hotel room in Paris. How he got there and with whom, he has no idea. He had the good sense to turn himself in at the U.S. embassy and tell the story. I’m sure the same thing can happen to congressmen.
Lawrence O'Brien's (DNC Chair) office was on the opposite side of that floor, but his secretary's office was the target...because she had the 'little black book' that contained names. Including names of the call-girls...one of whom was John Dean's soon to be wife.
Dean orchestrated the break in to retrieve it, but told "the Plumbers" that it was authorized by Nixon (whom he'd also lied to).
Much of the detail was documented by G.Gordon Liddy.
Twas a John Dean operation
liddy said John Dean was worried that his connection to Maureen would be exposed

Unbelievable. Thanks for posting it.
Shame on him for not adding details. Sounds like perhaps he got caught and blackmailed.
We first started hearing about this stuff about 4 days after 10/28/17.
Friend, I would absolutely not doubt that. Pick a bar, which one is the best choice to ruin a marriage and a career? Throw the dice, and enter. I also don't doubt that many politicians are being blackmailed. Money, sex, drugs. It's there and offered freely. Just return the favor when it is asked.
Yep. But I only know what I read. Except for sitting close to a bar at a restaurant, I’ve never been in a bar!
“A female Soviet agent had gotten him into a compromising position, and photographs were taken for the purpose of blackmail.”
When I was stationed in West Berlin during the 60’s and at the height of the cold war, the playgrounds (night clubs) were infused with drop dead, smokin’ hot, women in the employ of Mother Russia that no mortal man could resist.
