One of the more colorful conservative members of the U.S. House (Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.)) told HuffPost he stands by recent remarks in which he said some of his fellow members were likely victims of blackmail.
...
And when asked if he believed there were House members who had decided how to vote based on compromising material about them held by foreign powers, Burchett said, “Absolutely. And other powers. It doesn’t have to be foreign powers.”
...
“The old honey pot. The Russians do that. And I’m sure members of Congress have been caught up. Why in the world would good conservatives vote for crazy stuff like what we’ve been seeing out of Congress?” he asked.
...
“They’re not all crooked. The vast majority of people up here do the right thing. They just get caught in bad situations. That’s all..."

He certainly loves the spotlight. These accusations will certainly put him in demand, at least temporarily.

Hyuck, hyuck... Buy me a beer.
