But only one GOBers voted against the release of the files in the House!
Its like they are all finally getting it? I mean for the GOBers! Or wait, could there be an alternative motive for them? Do they know something that we dont? Did the White House whitewash the notion that Trumps name doesnt appear in the files in the crucial areas? Now the Senate is going to take up the vote quickly?
Im sort of perplexed how this is unfolding? Are we being setup for another round of coverups? I hope not but Im not feeling like this is going to turn out well. I feel that they are setting up a democratic filled report with several Democrats in the file?
A friend said that the Trump goons could have rewritten the document which points the the finger at the Democrats?
I just hope that this is not the case, but weirdly enough again, we have seen crazy stunts pulled by the administration before?

But, no, seriously. Pretty much zero surprise that the vote became near unanimous - more or less overnight.

Sure, there will be all sorts of shenanigans. But more as a cope than as a primary goal.
If they could have voted it down they would have; because they couldn't they reversed en masse to give the illusion of power/control. The priority was not losing an embarassing vote, if switching positions was necessary to do so then so be it.

It couldn't be more obvious that the Republicans (except for the 4 who signed the discharge petition) absolutely hated voting for this bill but were absolutely terrified to vote against it. I at least give Clay Higgins credit for voting honestly.
