Enjoying the movie!
After clammering for them in the vain belief it would bring down Trump, Dims are now not interested b/c they are claiming the files have been purged. What prevented the dims from releasing them years ago?!?
Trump baited them and they fell for it. Just sit back and enjoy the impending shit show.
we have known the basics of this for a decade
pizzagate was just a
Epstein's lolita island was just a "conspiracy theory"
they ignored real facts and research, and followed a programmed "narrative"
Willful ignorance. But Trump got them to BEG for it!! HA!
They didn't ignore it, they ran protection for it. They're involved up to there corrupt necks that need a rope. But yes, Trump made them beg for there own demise. Enjoy the show, it's going to get wild.

I have been a principled “NO” on this bill from the beginning. What was wrong with the bill three months ago is still wrong today. It abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America. As written, this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people – witnesses, people who provided alibis, family members, etc. If enacted in its current form, this type of broad reveal of criminal investigative files, released to a rabid media, will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt. Not by my vote. The Oversight Committee is conducting a thorough investigation that has already released well over 60,000 pages of documents from the Epstein case. That effort will continue in a manner that provides all due protections for innocent Americans. If the Senate amends the bill to properly address privacy of victims and other Americans, who are named but not criminally implicated, then I will vote for that bill when it comes back to the House.
Higgins is wonderful, and I believe his concerns are sincere considering his background in law enforcement. I respect, but disagree with his position.
The justice system has had decades to rectify the multitudes of miscarriages of justice surrounding the Epstein affair, and the system has repeatedly stalled, stonewalled, and ignored calls for justice. This pattern of failure will continue unless it is forcibly ended.
Now, actual perpetrators hide under the skirt of Lady Justice while calling for things like "due process," and "protection for victims," as a hypocritical ploy to perpetuate this decades long miscarriage of justice.
Protect the innocent- absolutely yes! But we as a society can no longer sit back and continue to allow the guilty to use those people as hostages, and human shields to hide from justice. No more. Rip the bandage off.
And, if that does indeed cause further injuries, then be certain to inflict extra harsh punishments on the guilty!
This is going to sound like I'm typing in circles but I agree with that also. The way I see it: The victims have came forward and said release it all, I don't think they really care at this point but I have no way of actually knowing that. If it were me voting, I would have voted "yay" for the same reasons you've listed.
I believe it will get amended in the Senate, pass as amended, then the House will once again pass it with the amendments.
I agree with you and I agree with him, too.
Nice.
Now they can't blame Trump,when it backfires on them.
They will say trumps admin doctored the files.
And we will say,they had 4 years to release it.
so few people understand how important optics are when building a strong case for plausible deniability, creating the appearance of neutrality if not flat-out opposite of their personal stance. trump understands this very well which is why he has maneuvered this entire situation so masterfully.
Agreed. Just look at all of the pond dwellers still dooming over the faux MAGA division drama. Ermahgerd! (Insert pundit here) is trying to divide MAGA!
This is some Shia Lebutt tier reeeeeeing coming from our own waters.
But but but Trump is sanitizing all the files because Epstein's brother said that's what's happening. Please clap....
It'll be funny calling them conspiracy theorists. Those freaks have been dragging our names through the mud for decades doing just that. Fuck them. Let them scream all they want.
Golly, it's if they're preparing for defeat by releasing the reason for it prior to it occurring.
Look I'm definitely a Q skeptic but when shit like this happens and you get a basically unanimous vote on the release of files related to a child sex trafficking scandal, it makes you believe
Good now I can stop seeing 'release the epstein files' on every X post. It's just a distraction.
What’s the next step to get them released?
Senate must pass it. Then My President signs or vetoes.
It’s up to Trump if they get released?
I think I read somewhere that he said he would sign it if it passed. If he vetoed it, Congress could overturn his veto in the House and Senate with a vote to do that.
Thanks boss!!
Well know after Pelosi finishes her bottle of vodka.
Does anyone have the link to the document that Speaker Johnson added to the record during debate of the deficiencies in the bill? Please provide if so.
