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
Oh, they’ll “release” it all right. But they’ll narrow down the scope as much as possible to some combination of “things that have already been released”, “things that can’t be released” (ie, the grand jury records, which are pretty much never released and which require judicial approval), , and “new things the public hasn’t seen yet but which are redacted to near total blackness”.
Or “things that we modified or just flat out made up”
The grand jury thing seems like a red herring to me. Nothing should be in the grand jury files that isnt already in the rest of the investigation files because that’s where they got the information to present to the grand jury in the first place.
