Unanimous Consent!!!

Senate vote on Epstein files!

[2naSalit]

1. Well...

That was quick!

Now we get to hear the excuses from pretentious pam.

[MineralMan]

5. It's something.

It's news.

[2naSalit]

6. It'a a step in the right direction...

I am glad of it but the next hurdle is soon to upon us.

[newdeal2]

2. Can't wait to see how Trump weasels out of this one

But I hope to see him squirm for as long as possible.

[malaise]

4. See we passed it but can't release them because...drumroll...investigations

led by Trump and Bondi.

[Volaris]

15. Im under the impression theres language in the bill that says

Only targets of active investigations are off limits, everything else is fair game.

So, unless Pam is dumb enough to open an investigation into trump himself, he's got nowhere to hide, and any dems being looked at, are protected from public disclosure.

[malaise]

16. Hope you're right

I firmly believe that nothing they try will plug the holes in this broken dam.

[yaesu]

3. well, we will see if the tRump redacted files was worth caving on the shutdown vote I guess

my prediction, a resounding NO!

[ForgedCrank]

7. I'm curious

how this might conflict with the courts.
There were federal rulings that prohibited this stuff from getting released, grand jury testimony and stuff.
Admittedly, I don't know why the judges prohibited it, so I'm wondering if that will be the thing that prevents the stuff from getting out regardless of these votes.

[doublethink]

8. Excited but can you provide a link?

[MineralMan]

9. MSNOW.

Saw it happen. Go to any news outlet.

[doublethink]

10. Thanks ..

is it Veto Proof? Votes on Record. Sorry to be a pest but still excited.

[bluestarone]

11. Be ready for TSF and Bondi to shoot this all away.

Never will happen, until forced somehow. (my thoughts only)

[MineralMan]

12. OK. That doesn't change this news, though.

[W_HAMILTON]

14. Good thing for us, they are both idiots.

Even if they were to attempt a cover-up, you trust these nincompoops to not fuck it up somewhere along the line?

Knowing them, instead of redacting Trump's name in black, they'd highlight it in yellow.

Oh, and there's always the whistleblowers...

[MorbidButterflyTat]

13. I've got a funny feeling

It reminds me of Jeff Flake and the FBI "investigation" of Beer Bong Kavanaugh. So really it's more of a sick feeling.

[librechik]

17. I know, right?

i was going "What just happened?!! Did that really happen?!!" for about half an hour.
