Speaker Mike Johnson said Thursday he doesn’t believe a bipartisan effort to force a House vote compelling the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents will succeed.
Asked about the discharge petition led by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Johnson said he doubted they would convince enough Republicans to sign on.
“I don’t expect he will,” Johnson said when asked about Massie’s chances of success.
..
White House officials are running an intense pressure campaign to keep Republicans from joining the discharge effort. Trump aides have made calls to GOP members who have co-sponsored the Massie-Khanna measure, pressuring those who haven’t signed to keep their names off the discharge petition and those who have to remove their names, according to three Republicans granted anonymity to discuss the conversations.

It must be really bad what's in there for them to get this organized
Deep State's going to Deep State!
So did the Democrats under Biden expunge all the data about them traveling to Epstein’s island and visiting his mansions and are now eager publicize whoever is left ... Republicans?
And those ladies are going to create their own list. The statute of limitations has long gone. And these women know sh** except what they themselves did.
Massie is an opportunistic jackass — odds this will whither not unlike his political significance
You are
either just stupid Pauli cultist a Dem operative .
This Epstein PR crap is being run by long time Demonrat Smear merchant
GLORIA ALLRED .
Its a Fickin DNC run operation .
Your BS about conspiracies is pure Crap .
You need to be zapped for
peddling a
Gloria Allred Dem Trump smear operation .
The Dems never cared about Epstein.
They can’t spell his name.
Now, they think they’re desperately seeking a Weapon to innuendo Trump to death. Is Trump alive this week?
RINOs and America-Hating Dems join up to portray Epstein as a Trump scandal.
Nothing more
“””
The statue of limitations is about the cut-off date for bringing charges and prosecuting a crime.
>br The stature doesn’t erase crimes committed. “”””””
When were charges brought and against whom?
Thomas Massie was dumb and let the demonrats co-op it and turn it into a circus.
That press conference yesterday didn’t do the Discharge Petition any good.
They should have kept Gloria Allread far, far away
Nothing says MAGA gravitas like a Gloria Allred appearance.
A very safe bet.
“””That press conference yesterday didn’t do the Discharge Petition any good.””””
Especially when the victims said Trump did nothing wrong.

Yup the more they try to keep this hidden the more I want to see what’s in there. Release the unredacted files!
“””Release the unredacted files!””””””””
Yup. They do it all the time on other cases. ...Oh, wait. That has NEVER been done, especially on cases that are still active.
There is no new evidence.
Epstein was a sex crazed loner.
No one else is involved, except possibly Ghislaine Maxwell.
Freaking political idiots!
Personally I suspect this isn’t just about the elites having sex with underage prostitutes. I think it has more to do with Israel (and possibly the CIA) running a blackmail operation against some politicians and other elites. And that is what they are really trying to hide.
There’s a first time for everything...
“””Why do Trump and other Republicans block the release?”””
Because they are smart. The democrats are trying very hard to setup a trap for a scandal. Let them punch themselves out.
If our politicians were/are being blackmailed by a foreign nation don’t you think we should know about it?
“”””If our politicians were/are being blackmailed by a foreign nation don’t you think we should know about it?”””
You lost me there. Which part of the conspiracy theory is that?
