House grinds to a halt as GOP tries to shut down Epstein votes

[Mac-7]

That’s stupid. We should be doing everything we can to expose and prevent these pedophile sex rings, not covering up for them.

Forcing whats-her-name to talk is the surest way to get where you want to go

MSN claims that Congress is "ground to a halt" over Epstein? WTF? Do liberals really believe this nonsense?

That's not what you would get. You would get unevidenced accusations and scant evidence. If there were more than that, more people would have been prosecuted.

The unevidenced accusations solicited by investigators are not for public consumption and should not be.

Yes. And release everything. Stop protecting the pedophiles.

Maybe. But this whole thing seems extremely suspicious.

And this is why it should not be released, in a nutshell.

Left cult just knows that they are owed EVERYTHING.

Time is here to educate them.

They may be beyond education. One has to have an open mind to be educated.

How did the Republicans go from the party of referring to the last president as "Pedo Joe" and accusing their opposition of being groomers to becoming a party that protects a pedophile ring? Who are they covering for?

State of play: The House Rules Committee is not planning to hold votes this week to prepare major legislation for the House floor, meaning any remaining votes will likely be on small, noncontroversial bills.

• The House had been scheduled to vote on GOP legislation involving immigration and environmental legislation this week that had to go through the panel first.
• But Democrats planned to force yet more votes on amendments aimed at forcing the Justice Department to release all its documents on Epstein.

What they're saying: Members of the Rules Committee in both parties told reporters the standstill is due to Republicans not wanting to vote on the Epstein-related amendments.

How? Trump told them to and they folded like a bunch of cheap suits.


Useless an spineless each and everyone of them. It will take someone very special to bring back to the GOP fold. Until then, I will maintain my no party affiliation...

Again, only one living person knows everything that happened and libs are totally ignoring her

Because she has been through a grand jury and a trial, all while under oath.

Any question you have for her has likely been asked.

No we’re not. We want her to testify. And we want the files released.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

No we’re not. We want her to testify. And we want the files released.

She did. Under oath. Multiple times.

 

[XponentialChaos]

She did. Under oath. Multiple times.

If the democrats can keep them running around this Epstein case and ending legislative sessions early it keeps the GOP from ******* more up. I approve.

Imagine being the Attorney General and having to do this shot work?

It really shows why she cannot be trusted. Remember, if you put her in front of congress under oath, that freak is going to say whatever she thinks will help her get into Trump's favor. She doesnt want to die in prison.

Where does it say that she testified under oath multiple times? I'm seeing the exact opposite.

Which is why she'll be center ring.

The House will adjourn Wednesday, a day earlier than expected, for its month-long recess from Washington after Republicans blocked most legislation from reaching the chamber floor for a vote this week. That means any move to release the files won’t come to the floor until at least September, if ever.

The move by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) will effectively avoid dealing with an issue — for now — that is causing worry and anger among rank-and-file Republicans after a decision by President Donald Trump’s Justice Department not to release the files, which stirred a furious backlash among the MAGA base — and from lawmakers’ GOP constituents. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia), a key Trump ally who has criticized the administration on this issue, said “the call volume on Epstein” to her congressional and district offices “has almost been 100 percent.”

It may also avoid further antagonizing Trump, who has declared his supporters should move on from the issue and attempted to change the subject.

“We want any individual who has been involved in any way in the Epstein evils to be brought to justice as quickly as possible, and the law should be brought down upon their head,” Johnson said at his weekly news conference. “When the Epstein records are turned over to the public, which we must do as quickly as possible, we have to also be very judicious and careful about protecting the innocent.”

Johnson called for the files to be released just days after Trump’s Justice Department said it would not do so, effectively closing the case. But the furor over the files, which Trump and his allies stoked before he returned to the White House, did not die down, even after Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to ask a federal court to unseal grand jury documents. The Justice Department also said Tuesday it would seek to meet with Epstein’s imprisoned associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tennessee) did introduce a motion Tuesday in the House Oversight Committee to subpoena testimony from Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend and a convicted sex offender now serving time in federal prison. The motion was unanimously adopted, and Chairman James Comer (R-Kentucky) is expected to seek a subpoena “as expeditiously as possible,” according to his spokesperson.

“I want justice for those thousands of young ladies who were abused, and I want the dirt bags of the world to know that we’re not going to tolerate it,” Burchett said. (unless Trump did it.)

Epstein is the current dog whistle

When this fizzles Dems will rush over to the next desperate narrative. The previous was some POS illegal wife beater.
