The House voted to force the Justice Department to release files on the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, an effort that overcame opposition from President Donald Trump.
After these votes the pressure is on him in a way he has yet experienced. I don’t know if I can think of another issue in which almost all Republican legislators opposed him.
My guy, how blind are you? If the Republicans all voted to release it then they are in on the cover up. They were told to vote yes because they won’t release anything incriminating. There’s no fucking opposition.
Maybe but he will brand any Republican who is against him as, ironically, a traitor.
Because that’s who he wants on his team, people loyal to him, regardless of affiliation. But Republicans are easier to dupe so they mostly fell in line.
I’m feeling more and more that they will release something that scrubs any damage to the GOP, and certainly zero chance they release anything that damages Trump. If there is a fix in - scrubbed names or false “complete” files - that would explain why GOP now feels they can vote for it, and why Trump gave them permission by flip-flopping to support the release.
He is not going to sign this, lol.
If we know anything about Trump by this point, is that he’ll say things and do the opposite. He’s not signing this, guys.
