Lawmakers seeking to force the release of files related to the sex trafficking investigation into Jeffrey Epstein are predicting a big win in the House this week with a “deluge of Republicans” voting for their bill and bucking the GOP leadership and Donald Trump, who for months have disparaged their effort.
The bill would force the Justice Department to release all files and communications related to Epstein, as well as any information about the investigation into his death in federal prison. Information about Epstein’s victims or ongoing federal investigations would be allowed to be redacted.
“There could be 100 or more” votes from Republicans, said Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., among the lawmakers discussing the legislation on Sunday news show appearances. “I’m hoping to get a veto-proof majority on this legislation when it comes up for a vote.”
cough PATRIOT Act
I always wonder, there wasn’t enough time to read through it and debate it because we had to act quickly, but damn, someone sure wrote it quickly. Unless it was there all along, waiting for a crisis.
Not even suggesting the crisis itself was a conspiracy, only that they were ready to jump on anything to gain power.
Yup. Just like project 2025, portions of which were more likely than not written in the early 90s if not before.
Hell, whether it’s The Heritage Foundation, ALEC, The John Birch Society, or some of the hundreds of others, it’s almost 100% certain that the abominable patriot act was written mostly or solely by dark money financed far right think tanks.
