Trump and GOP working behind the scenes to prevent Epstein House vote.

[JLW]

Top congressional Republicans and White House allies are working behind the scenes to prevent a politically charged floor vote to release the government’s Jeffrey Epstein case files next month, according to multiple sources familiar with the discussions.

The intensifying effort to halt that floor vote comes as Reps. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, and Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, declared on Wednesday they have the 218 votes needed to compel one when Congress returns. That final signature on their petition to force the vote will come from Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, who won a special election in Arizona Tuesday night, once she is formally sworn in.

Honestly, there must be some bad shit regarding Trump in the Epstein files that the White House and their cronies are doing all in their power to stop release of the Epstein files. Release the files and allow the House vote, Donny. What are you afraid of?

Lol..fake news. Why aren’t the files released yet? Trump is hell bent on halting any release of the Epstein files.

Why didn't Øbama release them in 2016? Instead of the cockamamie 'muh, Russia'?

Or Biden in 2024?

Is that all you have ? That is pathetic deflection.

The question is why is Trump obstructing release of the files. What is Trump afraid of?

Because both so-called ''sides'' are implicated in a blackmail operation which also very likely involves a foreign party?

Duh...

The pedoconservatives aren't being very subtle anymore.

There's no defection involve at all.

There is no there, there, is why.

Pedophilia was never alleged.

Why did Trump promise to?

 

[Seymour Flops]

Files have already been released by Pam Bondi.

They did not show what democrats and "not democrats" wanted them to show.So now they are crying.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Why did Trump promise to?

Good question!

If you look up a quote of Trump's promise regarding Epstein Files, you will see that the release by Pam Bondi more than fulfilled that promise.

The "promise" that Trump "broke" was an imaginary promise, based on inaccurate paraphrases of what Donald Trump said.

Your party or "not your party" has finally
FAFO'd with their idiotic shutdown idea, which will likely lead to a hemorrhage of voters in 2026. That might be something to spend your own time on rather than playing gotcha over imaginary promises from OMB.

Bondi released what had already been released.

Excuse dismissed.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Bondi released what had already been released.

Excuse dismissed.

Excuse for what, though?

Not satisfying your curiosity or a breaking a promise?

If the latter, show me the promise you already said existed. Dd he say specifically that he would release stuff that had not already been released?

That's why you really need to show this promise you claim he made.

 

[kyzr]

They will be released and whatever they show won't matter. yawn.

The new congresswoman will be sworn in as soon as the Democrats reopen the government.

When she is and she signs the petition, what exactly do you think will happen next?

 

[whitehall]

"Working behind the scenes"? is it just a cliche that lefties use? Strange that the left would bring up the issue when the entire Biden administration was a "behind the scenes" operation with a mentally impaired president and an "autopen" directing domestic and foreign policy.

 

[FoghornLeghorn]

For 4 years Democrats couldn't take Biden's cock out of their mouths and didn't say shit about the Epstein list. Lol
