Joining late so, missed a gem from Speaker Mike Johnson stupidly drawing attention to the Epstein shitshow, saying “Suddenly now, they’ve somehow convinced themselves that the Epstein files will be damaging to President Trump and Republicans in some way that they’ve imagined, and so they feign outrage,” as though that’ll convince Dems to back down from the discharge petition.
“The oversight committee is already accomplishing what the discharge petition, that gambit sought, and much more. The Epstein estate files that have been this new treasure-trove, the third batch, was not even included in the discharge petition. Didn’t even think of it. And again, the investigation is bipartisan. It’s nonstop. And far broader in scope than what is covered by the discharge petition and already yielded significant results. Unfortunately, some Democrats, sadly even a couple Republicans, have tried to make this a political issue. They seem to be more interested in trying somehow to lay a glove on the president than securing justice for these victims,” Johnson added.
