I would submit that members of the Senate Intelligence Committee are not innocent bystanders on railroad tracks, but actually have an important duty to the country.
Even a public statement like "this is so bad I sold all my stocks this morning" would have changed things. But his mean boss in the Oval Office would have tweeted that he was nasty. That's too hard for some people to stand up to, I guess. So Burr gets his own chapter in
Profiles in Cowardliness. But he doesn't care, he said in 2016 that he isn't running again, so this term is only about getting paid.
