This explains a lot. They've got stuff on so many politicians, and they use it to blackmail them.
We had some stuffing going on in a Senate committee room, but no one knows nothing except who was on the receiving end. Blackmail at work more than likely.

Before he became a leading voice for conservative causes on Capitol Hill, U.S. Senator James Lankford spent more than a decade as the director of youth programming at the Falls Creek Baptist Conference Center, a sprawling campground about 80 miles south of Oklahoma City that attracts more than 50,000 campers in grades six through 12 each year.
Of course, when it comes to his own daughters, this smug elitist doesn’t feel the same way. He only thinks this twisted way about other people’s daughters. The AP story goes on:
Laura Loomer hit the nail on the head with the million-dollar question: What do the Dems know about this guy that we don’t? It’s unsettling to consider. Judging from what’s been unearthed in a 2010 deposition, it seems Senator Lankford might have been all too familiar with a certain notorious airplane, making regular jaunts to an infamous island. You get the drift.
Before he became a leading voice for conservative causes on Capitol Hill, U.S. Senator James Lankford spent more than a decade as the director of youth programming at the Falls Creek Baptist Conference Center, a sprawling campground about 80 miles south of Oklahoma City that attracts more than 50,000 campers in grades six through 12 each year.
The Republican lawmaker’s tenure at the camp is a prominent feature of his political profile, noted in the first paragraph of his official Senate biography. That experience is also coming under renewed scrutiny as the Southern Baptist Convention, which is affiliated with the group that owns the camp, faces a reckoning over its handling of sexual abuse cases.
In 2009, while Lankford worked at the camp, the family of a 13-year-old girl sued a 15-year-old boy who was alleged to have had sex with her at the camp. Lankford, who was not in Congress at the time, is not alleged to have had any direct knowledge of the alleged assault, has not been accused of any wrongdoing and was not a defendant in the lawsuit, which was settled for an undisclosed amount before it was scheduled to go to trial.
But in a 2010 deposition in the case, given a week after he was elected to his first term in the U.S. House, Lankford testified that he believed a 13-year-old could consent to sex.
“Yes, I think they can,” Lankford told Kenyatta Bethea, a lawyer for the girl’s family, according a 155-page transcript of the deposition obtained by The Associated Press.
The age of consent in Oklahoma is 16, and although there is an exception in the law for minors between the ages of 14 and 17 who have sexual contact, there is no provision under which a 13-year-old could consent to sex. When Bethea pressed if his answer was still the same “if I ask you that question in terms of your position as a father,” Lankford maintained his stance.
“Yes, they can,” he said.
Of course, when it comes to his own daughters, this smug elitist doesn’t feel the same way. He only thinks this twisted way about other people’s daughters. The AP story goes on:
Under additional questioning about whether he would allow his two daughters to consent to sex at the age of 13, Lankford gave a more expansive answer.
“No, I would not encourage that at all,” he said. “Could she make that choice? I hope she would not, but I would not encourage that in any way with my own daughter.”
Laura Loomer hit the nail on the head with the million-dollar question: What do the Dems know about this guy that we don’t? It’s unsettling to consider. Judging from what’s been unearthed in a 2010 deposition, it seems Senator Lankford might have been all too familiar with a certain notorious airplane, making regular jaunts to an infamous island.
