Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., signed a petition Wednesday to force a House vote on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein, giving it the needed 218 signatures.
Grijalva was sworn in as the newest member of Congress on Wednesday, more than seven weeks after she won a special election in Arizona to fill the House seat last held by her late father.
I thought all this time the vote was to release, now I understand it’s there just to force the house to vote. Probably won’t pass given how it went so far :(
But we’ll find out
Nah. Johnson has been blocking the vote so his republican counterparts can hide behind the lack of a vote. Now they have to put directly on the record that they do/don’t want to release the files.
I hope she creates a bill that newly elected seats have a clock that once certified no more than 48h shall elapse before being sworn in or it is automatic and swearing in ceremony becomes only ceremonial. Arizona should’ve sued sooner.
Weird, I wonder why they could’ve delayed swearing her in? Hmm so strange
Dems caved and got nothing. NOW LET’S SEE THOSE FILES.
Will never happen
It will happen, but it will go one of three ways:
-
The “files” released are another butchered, redacted version of shit we already know, not directly naming Trump or anyone of note from any reputable, ironclad source, and when Dems pathetically go “Hey man, not fair!” it will get snarled in gridlock for another three years of “will they or won’t they” or until Trump keels over dead.
-
The files have been disappeared during the 70 days the government was shut down. Sorry, we can’t find them, we looked everywhere. Welp, whattaya gonna do? lawl lets go back to sending brown people into the ocean and stuff.
-
The files are released, have damning evidence, written testimony from credible eyewitnesses and a mountain of evidence linking Trump directly to Epstein… and wait, I’m being told we already have all that. So we get more and still nothing happens? Yah, that also sounds about right.
Thank you for making this explicit and clear. Anyone realistically hoping for any other outcomes is just blind to what has happened to the US government.
I want these released, but when I see people thinking this is somehow the answer to all of the injustice instigated by the executive branch, I’m dumbfounded.
They could find pics and/or video of Pedonald ballz deep in someone underage, and most of his cult will just declare that it is “AI” or “fake news” and continue to support him like the nutless cult members they are.
is just blind to what has happened to the US government.
At the risk of being that guy, it’s not what has happened to the US government, but what the US government has always been. Like, rich men getting off scot-free for diddling kids (and other crimes against ordinary people) didn’t start with Trump; the Epstein files didn’t become a thing under Trump. America has always been a country by and for rich men.
That’s pretty much the world mate. Rich men used to do a bit of a better job in the US of keeping each other in check though. Epstein was a rich man. You can argue he should have / would have been brought to justice sooner, but at least he was. The opposite of being blind to what’s going on is being so aware of it that you become nihilistic about it.
I hope a lot of people wake up after this is all over and realize that their ideas that there is such thing as “law” have been woefully misguided and naive.
There is no such thing as law, at least not “blind” law, it’s just a way they make poor people feel okay because law applies to other poor people as well. But it’s always been like this, people in positions of power are almost always immune to the laws that they write and control. We are not a better species, we are not evolved.
I think if more people understood this, we might choose our leadership with more care.
Probably 3, since Epstein said trump was already with a victim for hours at his pedo house. I’m 99% sure he meant rape because they were underage.
To GMax, from Epstein:
i want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump…(VICTIM) spent hours at my house with him, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75% there

They needed time to destroy not just the evidence in storage, but records in the storage and secure hush payments for anyone who has ever read or seen the most damning evidence.
And now to the next bullshit they’ll put in the way of releasing those files.
Maybe Dick Durbin will talk about how releasing the Epstein Files is an invasion of privacy, and that we should be the bigger man by forgetting they ever existed.
It’s always going to be juuuuuuust about to happen
The DNC depends on this grift
Why does she HATE AMERICA with this WITCH HUNT just to See if Trump RAPED LITTLE CHILDREN (Which he NEVER did and he’s SO Sure he Never did that he’s doing EVERYTHING in his and his DOJs power to PROTECT a Person known AROUND the World as a Raper of Children!)!
Aaaaaand here comes a nice convenient war on Venezuela
I thought Mace was removing her own name after Trump endorsed her for SC governor?
No take-backsies
Sadly it’s possible she signs the petition requiring a vote, then votes against it.
Ah, I was wondering what the next rat-fucking tactic would be.
We are never going to get the files from the DOJ. From Epstein’s estate is another story.
They will never release the files. Most of the MAGS politicians would get arrested.
Who’s going to arrest them?
You?
Nobody is getting arrested even if they have video.
I can’t believe how liberal-pilled our country has become. It’s almost like we’ve lived on a sheltered continent, protected by vast sums of wealth to afford the mightiest armies, that we’ve completely forgotten that there’s no such thing as “law” objectively, it’s just a system paid for by the ruling class to keep the poors in line.
