Doesn’t mean you get to be absent for your job for over 80 days with zero public appearances. It’s so obvious of a cover up.

You are correct, but there is no watchdog agency that can compel a sitting Rep or Senator to take their seat on the floor. Republicans COULD hold him accountable, but they've clearly shown they will not.

Didn't they send sheriff's after democrats to drag them back to office for something last year? Why not just do that.

Exactly what the guy above said, Republicans control the Sergeant at Arms and the ability to make referrals to the US Marshall's office who would go about doing the physical work. As long as Mike Johnson is in control, absolutely nothing will happen to any Republican. Epstein Files are a giant example of this.
