Republican lawmakers say it now appears certain that a discharge petition that’s being circulated in the House by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) will get enough signatures by the end of the month to force a vote on a bill directing Bondi to release the Epstein files.
Massie and Khanna are only one vote short of getting 218 signatures to force a vote on their bill.
Once Arizona holds a special election Sept. 23 to fill the vacant seat of Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), who died earlier this year, they’re likely to reach the threshold
I’d bet some or all of them have been outright destroyed by now, since there’s no respect for procedures or the rule of law in any branch of the US govt any more and whomever has actual physical access is probably a stooge loyal to the regime by this point.
I’ll laugh when they release the files and it conveniently only names Democrats
It is filled with the name “Bill Clinton” over and over again over white-out.
Did you know the names “Bill Clinton” and “Donald Trump” have the same number of letters? Pretty handy.
That’s not even a question, a top DOJ official straight up told a date that’s exactly what they were going to be doing.
Interesting, source?
Your saying the people that providing doctored video evidence might destroy said evidence? 🤔
Have there ever been more cowering cowards cowering at the boots of the most cowering lying coward amongst cowards?
As far as I’m concerned, they release it unredacted, or else we get to assume every redacted name is Donald J. Trump.
But I’m also in camp, “We’ll never even know about all the shit they had time to destroy.”
AND I’M ALSO IN CAMP, “I heard Trump would really be getting sent to jail any day now for about four years, so maybe nothing will happen.”
Can’t wait for absolutely nothing to come of it
This one has legs. They’re trying to quash it for some reason. I’m not saying it’ll bring down Trump, even though he’s obviously in there, but it’ll probably bring down at least a few senators.
And Trump’s base is breaking with him on this like they haven’t done in a decade. This is bigger and worse than I’ve ever seen. If it shifts the balance of power in Congress, I could see something happening to him too.
That’s the thing about Teflon. If you keep using it over and over, it eventually wears off. Given enough time, something will stick.
I hope you’re right
The senator observed that when Bondi said in February that a list of Epstein’s clients “is sitting on” her “desk right now to review,” she created a huge expectation that the administration would reveal the names of the well-connected and wealthy men who participated in Epstein’s sexual exploitation of girls and teenagers.
“That was really unwise,” the lawmaker said.
It was really unwise for the person leading the department of justice to imply she could somehow bring justice?
It is when her boss is almost certainly someone who deserves to have justice rain down on him.
“now appears certain” is not the same thing as inevitable.
Both a blessing and a curse. Bye-bye Donnie, hello little Vance, who does the Peter Thiel dance.
Nah they’ve been planting the seeds that Trump was planted in the files and is completely innocent, nothing will happen to him, again
They seem sad about it - “admitting”?
