me, knowing full well Democrats AND Republicans are in the Epstein files
- Jail them all. Yes, I say ALL. Did I stutter?
  I suppose if being against genocide makes me antisemitic, wanting to release the Epstein files probably makes me a child predator!
  
  Yup… no loyalty.
  Name in Epstein Files? Straight to jail.
  
  Anti-pedophilia is antisemitism
  /s, but also Rabbi Kaye subbed at my congregation shortly before appearing on To Catch a Predator, so it's a soft "/s," but only anecdotally.
  
  Jail? Nah. Line them all up and…
- More reason why they'll work together to prevent disclosure, or concoct a cover-up.
  Hopefully there's enough on both sides with a spine to do the right thing. Tall order though. As anyone with a functioning brain knows, this means bringing down the executive branch, and probably a lot more powerful, wealthy, and well connected people.
I thought Masturbates-with-his-son Johnson called an early recess to prevent exactly this? Am I misunderstanding how that works, then, or did the committee decide to meet in defiance of that?
- I'm guessing the subcommittee are somewhat autonomous. That's my guess.
This is REALLY good news, because Republicans on the committee also voted to subpoena. There's a chance that the Epstein files will be seen by this committee—that is HUGE.
Three Republicans on the panel voted with Democrats for the subpoena, sending it through on an 8-2 vote tally.
The Republican subcommittee chairman, Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana, said that work was beginning to draft the subpoena but did not give a timeline for when it would be issued.
Must be pissing off MAGA that Dems are working to release the files over Trump's admin. These "woke" ass pussy libs want to take down child sexual predators over their god king.
- It’s also great because they can’t “both sides” the issue. Like, it’s not “the government elite” but just their idolized Republicans being shitty.
- They're already flipping their brains upsidedown to believe Trump's line that its all a Democrat hoax. The fact that the Dems are pushing to release will only "prove" to them that Trump is right.
Democrats have JEFFFREY EPSTEIN DERANGEMENT SYNDROME and are "Desecrating" an American Hero! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
- Oh you're good at that.
The House Oversight Committee is now set to gain possession of the most falsified documents in the history of the United States.
Will Trump now try to convince the supreme court that molesting kids was part of official duties as president, so he can't be charged?
