Epstein Files: GOP Panic & Trump’s Ultimate No Can Stop Dance
KEY POINTS
- •House Speaker Mike Johnson quickly scheduled a vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein case files.
- •This decision marked a strategic shift as GOP leaders anticipated Republican defections in support of the bipartisan bill.
- •Rep. Thomas Massie expressed hope for a veto-proof majority to pressure the Senate despite Trump's opposition.
In a plot twist nastier than a TikTok feud, House Speaker Mike Johnson greenlit a rapid-fire vote on releasing every juicy crumb of the Jeffrey Epstein files—because apparently if you can't slam the door, might as well fling it wide open. The move came after the GOP realized the bipartisan bill, championed like an edgy indie film by Rep. Thomas Massie (who’s about as subtle as a cannon) and Dem Ro Khanna, was gaining momentum faster than a viral dance challenge. Even Trump, after a pre-vote chit-chat with Johnson, apparently shrugged with the resigned grace of a man realizing his tweetstorm won’t stop this train. Remember when Johnson sent the House packing early for August recess? That was basically him hiding behind his couch, hoping Epstein files wouldn’t come knocking — spoiler alert: they did. Adding to the absurd mix, GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert, yes, her, joined forces with this rare Republican cohort pushing the Justice Department to spill the tea. And after the House Oversight Committee dropped thousands of new Epstein emails like an unsolicited playlist, even the usual GOP firewall started peeling away — expecting a veto-proof majority of 290 votes to force the Senate's hand, while Majority Leader John Thune acts like he just missed the memo and says they don’t really need to. TL;DR: The Epstein file drama in Congress has all the subtlety of a wrestling match in a glass shop, and it’s just getting started.
