Florida Sen. Lauren Book has reached out to Capitol police after receiving an anonymous warning connected to her demand for a state inquiry into Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw’s handling of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s lenient work release program, the Miami Herald has learned.

Book, a vocal advocate for child sexual assault survivors, said she also received more than a dozen calls by Bradshaw’s political supporters asking her to back off on her call for an investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement into Bradshaw.

Book, in an interview with the Herald, said she also asked the Capitol police, who handle security for state lawmakers, to look into claims made on a Russian website alleging that Bradshaw was behind an effort to access her phone and emails by using a pretext of “imminent danger’’ to obtain her personal information.

“I’ve received countless phone calls saying ‘Little girl you don’t know what you’re getting into,’ and telling me that I should just stop,’’ said Book, a child sexual abuse survivor who has worked to pass strict sex offender laws in Florida.

It’s not the ‘parties’ that are the problem, it’s the people.

I'd say the parties are just as much to blame - they are playing us off against one another every two years, and making sure we stay distracted by various issues so that we don't watch what they are doing in the halls of Congress.

I've had Republicans for various campaigns coming to me for donations and getting upset when I tell them I'm now independent and only voting for actual conservatives. One of these days, I'm going to get around to releasing some of these calls and emails on social media.

The problem is that virtually all in actual power do not want that - and yes, that includes Ruby Ridge Bill Barr.

Florida Law Enforcement needs to look into this - they'll do a good job. The FBI is compromised and works for commies in Democrat Party - NOT for the American people.
