This Tom Kean disappearance is really weird. [View all]

Missing 75 days. Now it appears his wife has disappeared too? Apparently, his primary job in Congress was using US intel to execute stock market trades.

Why hasn't Johnson or Trump or Blanche or Patel done a hi=profile search for a missing US House Representative? Something really fucked up with this guy's disappearance and apparent lack of concern by the Speaker of the House.. Johnson has a razor thin margin....why isn't Kean's whereabouts and welfare a concern?
