9. I would imagine that Massie is testing a few other Republicans to sign on

Today's emails might dislodge a few more Republicans and if so, Mace and Boebert would not be able to stop it. Even if he has a few willing to sign if needed, he certainly is better off not announcing it.

( I assume he is the sponsor more likely to talk to Republicans )
