In a few hours, I think one or more Repubs will change their minds on the Epstein vote

[Just_Vote_Dem]

I hope I'm wrong, but....

1. last week, it was reported the DOJ told some GOPers about the files

If the arm twisting succeeds as you indicate, I think the files shall be leaked

[Just_Vote_Dem]

2. That's probably what will happen

The vote will fail, and the files will subsequently leak

[0rganism]

15. Which in turn suggests the WH strategy would be to leak a fake set first

Leak a fake set of "Epstein Files", then call them out as fakes, accuse Democrats of running another illegal "hoax", threaten to sue anyone who publishes them, and if the actual files then get leaked, leak another fake set shortly thereafter. No way the public can keep the various tranches of leaked files straight, PR problem solved!

F47's crew learned long ago to treat all issues primarily as PR problems and it's worked out for them so far.

[GusBob]

16. Yes that is a very real possibility

Any leaked files will bring up the hoax claim

[Bobstandard]

3. You are definitely correct

Whoever folds awards their next election opponent a great gift.

Disgusting and disgraceful, whoever helps the coverup.

4. The Cowardice Runs Strong in Their Lineage!

5. Not a doubt in my mind.

[Prairie Gates]

6. Guaranteed

Nobody would take the other side of that bet

[no_hypocrisy]

7. If this was to be case from the get-go, then

why delay swearing in the rep. from Arizona?

[Irish_Dem]

8. Gave them time to flip some of the GOP congress?

Or it was always a diversion and power play?

10. According to...

Allison Gill, there are reportedly at least 100 Rs ready to vote for it on the floor, perhaps if someone can't take the pressure from the WH goons, one or a few of them might step up... maybe.

9. Blackmail is a powerful thing. /nt

[pecosbob]

11. Doesn't matter...would die in the Senate anyway.

[BigMin28]

12. Tsf

will get a few repukes to change their vote. Especially Boebert. She is as dumb as Donnie, and just a prone to flattery.

[berksdem]

13. I'll bet my house that you are correct.
