They're just be encouraging him to take more hostages, and do it again to use for even more brutality ,and more corruption to use maybe against us too. Congress needs to take a stand against this abuse by not giving in to any of his demands, or this hostage taker will be hunting for his next targets to use against them, and us. DO NOT GIVE THE HOSTAGE TAKER ANYTHING! He always wants more.
