Republican lawmakers say it now appears certain that a discharge petition that’s being circulated in the House by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) will get enough signatures by the end of the month to force a vote on a bill directing Bondi to release the Epstein files.

Massie and Khanna are only one vote short of getting 218 signatures to force a vote on their bill.

Once Arizona holds a special election Sept. 23 to fill the vacant seat of Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), who died earlier this year, they’re likely to reach the threshold

    Question coming from my own ignorance but how do we know they haven’t tampered with the files by this point? It seems like they control enough of the government to get agents that would be willing to delete it modify evidence, I’m just not sure what controls are in place to ensure that nothing has been tampered with

      Ask the victims who have come forward if anything is missing which should be there. That is probably our best indicator of truth on what gets released.

      Also remember, this is like the third time files have been “released.” Take that for what you will.

    I wonder how obviously it’ll be doctored. Like will they expect anyone to believe it’s legit, or will they take more of a “what are you gonna do about it” approach.

    Show of hands who believes that we’ll get unaltered files that do anything but exonerate Trump? I hope nobody is really banking on any damning revelations.

    “i guess theres nothing we can do except release the files, and you’ll just have to believe they are the real ones…our hands… are tied… :(”

    its crazy how many people are willing to defend pedophiles if it advances their agenda.

    crazy how the absence of empathy makes people literally insane, its almost as if they are mentally ill and not fit for positions of power, or something.
