Rep. Thomas Massie to force a House vote on releasing Epstein files

newsNov 5, 202688428

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) says he has gathered enough signatures to force a House floor vote next week on his second Epstein Files Transparency Act. Massie told reporters he expects to reach the 218-vote threshold that would guarantee a vote and said the bill would let survivors obtain their records, allow state attorneys general to prosecute crimes, and give courts a path to challenge the Justice Department for withholding files. Massie framed the move as a follow-up to an earlier bill and said he would press the forced vote when lawmakers return next week. The push sets up a near-term procedural test in the House over whether to release the contested Epstein files, either in full or with redactions allowed under the legislation.

from Occupy Democrats: GOP Rep. Thomas Massie will force a vote next week on a bill to finally release the Epstein files in full. He's confident it will pass. The truth will finally be dragged into the light. “We’ll get 218 signatures for Epstein Files Transparency Act II, which guarantees a vote.”

Releasing the epstein files has been Federal Law for over 300 days now. Just saying. If you’re expecting the head pedophile in the oval office to abide by this vote, you’re nuts. We have to go get them by force.

Why do they think it's gonna work this time? I mean granted the Democrats are in charge somewhat but they still don't have the Department of Justice in their pocket

The Repugs were washed out completely , because of Trump - so they might as well get back at him by washingTrump out completely and the very best way to do that is via the trump-Epstein files which are the biggest political nuclear bomb ever.

At this point I'm convinced the redecoration, ballroom, triumphal arch, etc are all part of a National Treasure-esque plan to hide clues in plain sight that will inevitably lead Nicholas Cage and Jon Voight to America's greatest treasure... The Epstein files.

Though if they get MS and AK, they only need 4 more. Depending on the topic (Epstein files) that seems gettable

I'm of the opinion that the Epstein Files will give us some inmates for them. Perps need cages, after all.
