It’s an embarrassment for Trump, who had promised to release the Epstein files before then calling the scandal a “hoax.” A Trump official admits, “We lost this one badly.”
This situation is not being done without Trump having something up his sleeve. Whether it’s the release of a heavily redacted version with only names of perceived enemies shown or Pam Bondi playing the cannot release the file card because of an ongoing investigation.
Last week it was a hoax and Trump calling Republican weak that signed the discharge petition. All of a sudden he has had a change of heart. Unlikely. He knows the version that is released, if released at all, will not cause him harm. All of this does not add up as Trump never bows to pressure.
Question While Mike Johnson had congressional members on 'vacation', was that time used to scrub the Epstein files (of Trump's name) at a facility in Virginia?
I've said it from the beginning...trump's corrupt 'law firm' DOJ has either been destroying anything remotely associating him with Epstein or they've done a great editing job, probably a little of both. There is no way that anything gets released that will nail trump to the wall, the way he needs to be. Now the so-called 'investigations' into Democrats-only will be their reason to stall the release...again. How stupid can trump's cult be to not see this for what it is. Whatever is in those files has got to implicate trump doing some really nasty stuff for him to go to all these lengths to keep them hidden.
This voteing session is much ado about nothing. Trump will instruct one of his henchmen to only release docs that incriminate perceived enemies. Nothing that will damage him will be shared. What a circus!
Bone Spurs shows fear and lack of strength, the worst thing that can happen to him. Clearly, now, he's not invincible or infallible, and perhaps not touched by the hand of the evangelical God.
Thank-you Prem, Andrew and Asawin....it is a luxury to have a reliable news source.
I remain hopeful that these files may hasten the orange one's downfall. Here's hoping 'the wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine' has passed the first stage and are grinding finely as we speak.
Speaker Johnson calls himself a leader, he’s nothing but a lackey, one fleeceless sheep of a large herd. The “Shepherd, the master” said vote and they all fell in line except one; Higgins, he’s either retiring or he likes pedophiles, God knows he himself maybe one 🥸😎
I am far more interested to see which foreign intelligent agency was involved in this and how much of it was for blackmailing our people in power. I am not holding my breath that such info will come to light in my life time.
What will be ‘released’ will probably be heavily redacted with additional unreliable information. Expect the information on the ‘others’ involved to be proven false. Trump and his allies have shown themselves to be chronic liars.
It's encouraging to know that there is at least one thing, among so many, that he appears to be unable to lie, insult, sue or coerce his way out of being held responsible.
Congress will kmlw within minutes if the released files have been heavily tampered with or not. Would they then subpoena for the original files and charge the DOJ with destroying evidence?
Is there a recourse Congress can take at that point? Because this whole clown car of a regime stinks like a landfill during a hot humid summer, and that's being kind.
In watching some of the hearing, repubs just had to get their links in on other matters! It's a hoax! The Dems had 4 years to do this! Blah, blah, blah! And the always self-righteous boot-licker, mike Johnson had to put in his 2 cents as well.
Whileci am glad for the overwhelming majority voted, with trump, nothing is certain. Except for the fact that him & a bunch of his long-time buddies are in the Pedophile Pile now!

You and I know the important info will not be release either in the name of 'national security' or ongoing investigation.
Yep

Did Rep(ugnant) release a statement why he voted NO? I’m expecting the PedoPrez’s bimbo bondi to say no release due to ongoing investigation.

Israel, Israel, and maybe Russia, but definitely Israel.
My money is on the first two with the CIA knowledge of it.
Im hoping that at the very least Maxwell will have to be sent back to prison. For the entire duration of her sentence.
