quote:

Speaker Mike Johnson said he would shut down the House until September in order to head off Democratic demands for votes calling for the release of files from the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and sex offender who was once friends with President Trump. Mr. Johnson said votes would end Wednesday night in what he called an effort to avoid “political games” related to the Justice Department’s handling of the files. The announcement came just after the House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime partner of Mr. Epstein, for a deposition

I don’t understand what a house vote has to do with releasing the Epstein files anyway?

That’s retarded. The Congress always does an August recess. And the motions to release the files by the democrats is bullshite because it gives them control of the floor which no speaker would ever allow of the opposite party.
Thanks for playing. Oh and nyt??? Lmao

I wish I could just "recess" from my job for an extra 6 weeks or so. Especially in the fall when the weather is really nice.

Not sure this is a good strategy. The Democrats will go to their districts and start up the demands for a prosecutor for Trump. The result in this mess is that since it looks like Trump is trying to cover up something, the Dems will get a special prosecutor appointed and then it’s off to the races. Letting things fester is a bad strategy.
