Senate Passes Epstein “Shiny Thing” Bill, Sends It to President Trump’s Desk
The Conservative Treehouse - The Last Refuge ^ | November 19, 2025 | Sundance

Posted on 11/19/2025 1:33:31 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

The House version of the Thomas Massie ‘pay attention to me bill’ telling the DOJ to release the information about Jeffrey Epstein, unless it contains material related to national security of investigations, has now passed the Senate by unanimous consent and will now head to President Trump’s desk for his signature.

Trump will sign it, the Epstein ‘shiny thing’ law will go into effect, and the politicians will continue arguing about it and trying to attack the White House because they put the perpetual argument component into THE BILL:

[SOURCE pdf]

The bill is only six pages. I suggest you read it.

As you can see from the highlighted qualifiers above, those of you who enjoy the bread and circus distractions provided by the DC UniParty apparatus, will have at least another year to follow this story.  Have fun with it.

Meanwhile, Congress cannot find time to codify any executive orders that might save taxpayer money, secure the border, protect elections, tighten up immigration laws or expel criminal aliens….

…. But thanks to Ron DeSantis’s biggest supporter, Thomas Massie, you’ll always have Epstein.

Only non-classified info? So no one involved has to worry about Intel oversight, or classified information management laws?

Remember too, this stuff has been in the hands of the corrupt, political DOJ/FBI for 2 decades. Info has been shredded, it's probably been manipulated, and manufactured information might even have been added.

It might as well be labelled with the Hollywood disclaimer: ‘‘This series is a dramatization of certain facts and events. Some of the names have been changed and some of the events and characters have been fictionalized, modified or composited for dramatic purposes’’

So they can only release information about a pedophile Israeli spy ring as long as it doesn’t hurt so called national security? Typical DC bullshit.

I would think Vance should be forwarding recission bills etc from the white house. Let’s go get something done.

Any LEO who has worked child molestation cases would likely tell you that someone like Donald Trump given numerous factors could not be a “pedophile”. He’s WAY too high profile and surrounded by people watching him constantly. The devoids who pray on children cannot hide their evil ways for decades when they are just an average Joe Blow, someone like Trump would have been found out decades ago. Plus, since entering politics Trump has been under hyper-scrutiny so even a small slip-up around children would be caught. Note the creep Biden and his hair sniffing, THAT dude has a problem!

Note that Hillary and the left had to make up the false Steele Report and two fake impeachments because there was no traction with Trump and the Epstein thing. If they had the goods on Trump in regards to Epstein they would have used that card a decade ago. They have zero because that’s all they ever had. It’s amazing that Trump has such discipline to wait for the right moment to do something like this that tells us where this is going:

This just means all the important stuff will be redacted and the people calling out for transparency will be p*ssed.

The state auditor in North Carolina today reported over $2 billion in Covid stimulus money granted to the state has not yet been spent. Any Covid stimulus grants states haven’t spent by the end of 2026 are supposed to be returned to the federal government. One can only wonder how many other states have unspent Covid money sloshing around in their coffers.

The pandemic was over by the end of 2021. If Congress was doing its job it would already have passed a law clawing back any unspent stimulus money. If the states and local governments haven’t spent it by now, they didn’t need it.

This is another example of governance failure by the supposedly conservative Republicans. Why didn’t they include Covid claw back in the spending bill? Why don’t they pass legislation now? They are no more fiscally responsible than the Democrats.

“Sources and methods”

If you don’t understand why they need to be protected, no one can tell you

Do you think any other “John’s” names will be in the released documents?
