Well, IDK about you all, but I'd be willing to put a few bucks toward a fund to pay those fines. Not because I've got a lot, or think the lawmakers need the financial help, but as a sign of public support for them. This is not a case, like say delicate negotiations with another country, where some temporary secrecy might be justified. This is actively AGAINST the public interest.
