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.”
The problem is that many issues today aren’t as simple and require a lot of compromises to happen which then makes it way more complex if an issue to vote for something.
I agree that the way it is today is absurd. A couple of years ago there was a speech of a politician in germany congratulating his party for making so hard to read laws that it often take weeks for critics to even understand and explain what’s happening in that law and by that time they could farm support for it.
I guess that’s a slightly different issue to yours though.
