Anyone feel as i do, that the day the House swears in Adelita, one of the two rethugs (Green or Massie)

[bluestarone]

Will vote against releasing Epstein files.

[chowder66]

1. Yep. Lucy with the football.

[bigtree]

2. good reason to think that

...the republicans that committed are procedurally locked into their votes for only a predetermined number of days, can't recall how many, but it's not indefinite and will likely expire before they swear her in, conveniently.

3. Maybe Greene

but no way Massie. Massie may be a horse's ass but he is a consistent horse's ass. Frankly I even tend to think that of Greene.

[surfered]

4. After all he's endured to date, I don't think it will be Massie.

[bluestarone]

5. Hope not, unless the find some very bad dirt on him.

Which is exactly what they are doing today.

[SheltieLover]

6. I'm sure the delay has been all about leveraging kompromat against them both.

[Grins]

7. Democrats should work on getting more Repukes to sign the motion

Relying on a single person, and the supposed integrity of Republicans is not a reason to go to Vegas and “Let it all ride!”

Republicans HAVE to fear what’s hidden in the Epstein files and - looking at what they already know about Trump, first-hand - KNOW this boulder will fall on them; individually and collectively.

Reminding them, “You know this is all going to come out. You sure you want to be in the side of the guy who raped 6th grade girls? We will remind your voters - YOU DID THAT!!”

8. The discharge petition only gets the bill to the Floor

how members then vote is an entirely different different thing and then the senate steps in for its role before anything gets released

[Sneederbunk]

10. Repugs donot want their votes on the record.

[bottomofthehill]

11. No, but a motion to table is a rather confusing vote

And the senate need 60 votes to move it.

What 12 republicans do you think will defy the President there.

[RockCreek]

9. Or one will have an "accident".

And they will find an excuse to delay the vote until an "appropriate" replacement is made.

We are dealing with criminals here. Don't expect them to follow any rules or to haave any morals if it doesn't serve them.

[bottomofthehill]

12. Once the discharge petition passes there are no excuses. There is a timeline.
