Democrats Blocked GOP Efforts To Fast-Track Vote On Epstein Files to keep issue alive longer, Republicans charge​


WASHINGTON — House Democrats prevented a quick vote on legislation that would require the Justice Department to release all its files on sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, apparently hoping to keep the controversy in the spotlight longer, the GOP has alleged.

Ahead of the House vote to end the 43-day government shutdown, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) took to the floor and requested unanimous consent to immediately vote on the Epstein bill.

“I tried to get the Epstein files [bill] straight to the floor, cut out all of this nonsense and the Democrats blocked it, oddly enough,” Burchett grumbled after his effort failed. “This is politics. It has nothing to do with what’s right.”

This falls flat when you consider house Dem released a previously released email and redacted the name to try go after Trump again.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act would compel Attorney General Pam Bondi to make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format all "unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials" in the Department of Justice's possession.

It seeks, among other things, information on Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell; individuals related to Epstein's criminal activities, civil settlements, immunity or plea agreements; any immunity deals, non-prosecution agreements, plea bargains or sealed settlements involving Epstein or his associates; internal DOJ communications concerning decisions to charge, not charge, investigate or decline to investigate Epstein or his associates; and information related to Epstein's incarceration and death.

House vote possible as early as next week.

If it passes the House, the Senate must pass the bill.

If both the House and Senate pass the bill, President Donald Trump (the dog that didn't bark) will have to sign it before it can become law.

Wait. The Dems are blocking a vote on the release after claiming for weeks that it was the Republicans slow playing and blocking it? One would think that if they actually believed Trump is implicated in them as opposed to just believing this to be a useful but baseless smear campaign, they would be in a rush to see Trump ruined. What gives?

Under suspension: The Epstein files bill could be brought to the floor under suspension, which would require a two-thirds majority to pass. If all 214 Democrats and the four Republicans who signed the petition vote in favor, there would still need to be about 70 Republicans to vote in favor for the bill to pass. There are 433 House members currently, so the magic number is 289 if all members are voting and present.

House Republicans currently project about 40 to 50 members in the conference will vote in favor. If the speaker brings the bill up under suspension, it could be considered as early as Monday night when the House returns for 6:30 p.m. votes.

Who was he supposed to inform and what information should he have provided? FYI - here is the non-prosecution agreement that was public in 2009:

Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement

Epstein admits to sex trafficking of minors on a global scale in the agreement.

Seriously, maybe you should take a step back and use this as opportunity to acknowledge you are blinded by hate and not everything is Trump's fault.

So to be clear, you are arguing that Trump never told anybody anything because, post-2009, he was definitely gonna say something, but instead of informing, he paid his lawyers to look into it, and they came back and said there was no way whatsoever that the law could touch Epstein at all (instead of going to feds and telling them what he knows and asking them if anything can be done).

You have to swallow all that, and then also swallow the fact that Donald Trump could have warned everybody. It's not just about legal recourse. You guys don't think this **** all the way through. You are trying so hard to play defense you've forgotten common sense. Go public. Tell everybody what you know. You have a voice. You're a good guy, right? Right? Epstein was still operating in relative anonymity until the late 2010s.

Trump broke you mentally.

Believe many here have said release it all. Which is more than previous years under liberal leadership. But now the left wants to chirp.

So they wouldn't be available until 2030 at the earliest?

Will President Trump VETO the EPSTEIN FILES TRANSPARENCY ACT if it passes both the House and Senate?

If Trump Vetoes, it will then take a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate to override.
