Epstein case: Speaker Mike Johnson said he would shut the House down early for its summer recess to head off Democratic demands for votes on calling for the release of files from the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and sex offender who was once friends with Mr. Trump. In order to avoid what he called “political games,” Mr. Johnson said the House would adjourn until September after votes scheduled for Wednesday night. The announcement came just after the House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime partner of Mr. Epstein, for a deposition.
Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday morning canceled votes for Thursday and sent the House home early before a planned five-week recess, telling reporters at a news conference that he was doing so in order to serve the American people by shutting down Democratic efforts to demand more votes on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files. “We’re done being lectured on transparency,” he said. He said that “the Rules Committee became ground for them to do that. We’re not going to play political games with this.” The last votes are now scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, and the House will be in recess until September.
Ghislaine Maxwell didn't kill herself.
Just saving myself some time here.
Excuse me, Pam Bondi has prepared video evidence that clearly shows she will have killed herself. Don't be a conspiracy nut.
Some nice AI videos.
No, Pam Bondi's friends will give her flimsy "evidence" that she will credulously accept and then present it to the rest of us as if it were absolute proof, and then call everyone who doesn't believe it a stupid conspiracy theorist.
Also she'll ignore and even continue Biden-era policies of weaponization of the DOJ against politically inconvenient figures.
Ghislaine Maxwell doesn't exist!
she won't, not legitly or """accidentally""". They need her to name Trump very specifically and publicly, as well as a few other irrelevant names.
People who want to defend Trump by not pushing for the Epstein files to be released are very shallow thinkers. If the Epstein files are released, the entire system will be completely turned over. The entire swamp would ACTUALLY be drained.
Only Trump's enemies want the swamp drained. We have always been at war with Eurasia.
Let's be perfectly clear here, he shut down the House because his AIPAC masters told him to.
All they had to do was mass arrest some of Epstein's island guests. There doesn't need to be a magic client list carefully prepared and hidden by Epstein. Just arrest some fucking pedos who paid for Epstein's services.
The fact that they can't/wont is damning.
It's a big club and we ain't in it
There must be some really damning information there.
My personal guess is, every single dual citizen is a kid fucker.
Teehee you said tip.
“What’s a tip?” - average Jewish person
Actually I was trying to make a very roundabout bris joke, but it apparently got a little mangled.
But what about the information in the list?
Do you really think so? Everything damning would have been destroyed already. My guess is that there is no client list left but the existing files implicates Mossad.
Trump would not have done anything to protect either Republicans or Democrats but he may risk it to protect Israel.
I also don't believe that Trump was implicated, someone would have released that info already.
I think so. Maybe there indeed never was a 'Client List'. But people getting implicated in documents instead.
If everything damning is already destroyed, I don't think they would be so spergy about it. I mean, this makes you look guilty even if you weren't guilty.
Who knows? Anything is possible after these past 1.5 months.
The Client List MacGuffin is just a distraction.
What people really want is Trump's DOJ to be pursuing prosecution witch hunts with anyone involved with Epstein Island with a Dem Jan 6th-esque fervor.
There's absolutely a client list because there's an address book.
100%
But then why would they not destroy the compromising data? Maybe they're protecting the lack of data, as in the fact that it was destroyed but even then why would they not be forthcoming about it, everyone would assume it was the Democrats did it. So much of this stinks
I wanted to say "because it's illegal", and then had a hearty laugh at my own expense.
Could be that you can't clean everything up. I read that a senator has flagged more than a billion transactions involving Epstein. That makes it clear where documents have been destroyed, even if you get them all.
Maybe it's not about Democrat/Republican, but about the whole ruling system.
This would be interesting to see. Would prove little since he did have a legitimate business but I would like to see what shady "NGOs" are on that list
That’s where you’re wrong bucko. There was nothing legitimate about his capital management start and his primary “patron”, and the rest of his “bidness”.
It’s about as legitimate as Hillary making 100k off cattle futures.
There isn't. Some people fucked kids, others laundered money, and none of this isn't obvious just by looking at history.
The RINOs, as always, love any excuse to not do their jobs, and to allow the uniparty to continue to rob us all blind. This is only 10% about the inconvenience of Epstein, and 90% about fucking us over geopolitically.
What better way to do that then shut down congress early? Mike Johnson is a homosexual traitor who has only served to ruin this country more while he's held his speakership.
The gaslighting on this case is unreal. If the right wing actually buys this shit, we might as well give up on ever saving this country. Serving the American people. Uh huh. Sure you are.
Let me guess: these motherfuckers are still going to pay themselves for not working for 2 months? How much taxpayer money is that? Just to dodge releasing Epstein files huh? Sounds real desperate.
Sure wish I could have 5 weeks of paid vacation
Taxpayer subsidized no less
I'm starting to think the government of, by and for corrupt pedophiles might not have our best interests in mind.
So that's another name probably on The List.
uh no you don't get to just not work mike
I never had democrats pushing for the files to be released on my bingo card.
Aipac will be furious.
Lots of congressmen need removing
Meanwhile, me and most everyone else in the private sector have to carefully choose which few days out of the year they can take off and get it approved by management. I'm definitely on the wrong career track.
Yes, keep letting the Democrats score an own-goal on this one. As if they didn't know Clinton wasn't personally implicated among many others.
Honestly, I'm hoping that Tulsi can weasel her way into a situation which would require her investigation into Obama to re-open the investigation into Epstein. DOJ is allegedly meeting with Maxwell, it tells me that the Trump admin is not sticking to what they've said in the past week.
How very optimistic. This doesn't look like 952-dimensional chess to me, but just a plain cover-up in plain sight.
The files don't exist, no Obama wrote them, are you still talking? SHUT UP.
It's a cover-up, the issue is why. Moreover, I think there is a clear split within the administration on this, and Trump is being manipulated by people like Suzie Wiles, and Blondi is being a complete fuck-up.
Wiles appears to be one of the worst actors in the admin. Too bad, she seems to be a good chief of staff for someone who churns through them like nothing.
She's a great Chief of Staff...
... for Mitt Romney.
Trump is not on the list, legitimately. If you noticed, even when he was a playboy, he hung around more mature looking girls. Girls that looked like late 20s to early 30s.
Never ever seen him around young looking girls or girls that dress very young. Its always more elegant or more "porno" like.
