I know a couple of other principled Republicans who are true patriots for standing shoulder to shoulder with Democrats against that evil dictator: Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.

Congrats republicans, you managed to make democrats right about something and give them the moral highground.

OK, tell us why you think the Trump DOJ has said “frick federal law, we will not comply”

I don’t know for certain, but it’s pretty plain. And no, has nothing to do with Trump on some island.

That's the difference. 2.0 has all sorts of enforcement provisions including criminal sanctions.

The files should be released and protecting pedos is not the play.

The fact this isn't non partisan is a serious misplay by republicans less than a month before mid terms.

What do republicans have to gain here by voting against it?

What are you babbling about?

Republicans (including Massie and me) know that Trump isn't implicated in the Epstein Files. Most Republicans think there is a Deep State.

Many of us think full disclosure of the Epstein Files might help expose some of the Deep State.

Because when you say the extreme such as it’s a foregone conclusion that they’re “protecting pedos,” no one with an ounce of common sense is going to view you as nonpartisan. It’s like you’re not even trying to conceal it whatsoever.

Is the bill text the same as the last one?

We already have all the documents.

This has been such a weird switch. What could be the possible, principled objection to full release of the Epstein files?

If the remaining portions turn out to be a nothing burger, so what?

What’s the main section heading under which that you posted there exists? In other words, what main official federal regulation does this fall under?

And thanks for the previous response.

Why Republicans?

The Biden and Obama administrations both had the ability.

They didn't do a fricking thing

Nobody has said they object to anything. Anything legitimate and real, that is. Plus, y’all have no clue what exists to even object to or not.
