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 one change at a time works only when there isn’t so much overhead it grinds the system to a haul. The government isn’t software, and software development has less overhead than running a whole country. At this level of overhead, one change at a time would mean we would get sufficiently less passes. Software development is also about efficiency and understanding when to make trade offs. You have to trade off the one change at a time paradigm so you can accomplish your job.
