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.
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.
