House 'Demands' Epstein Files... After Years of Procrastination?
The House, with a stunning vote of 427-1, now 'demands' the DOJ cough up the long-awaited Jeffrey Epstein files (Axios). This comes after Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) delayed swearing in a representative whose presence would greenlight this exact vote, a delay Democrats say was deliberate (Axios). Funny, isn't it, how 'bipartisan outrage' only seems to galvanize action when public pressure reaches
a fever pitch, making inaction politically unviable—not when the initial 'nothing to release' claim was made two years prior? (Axios) One might wonder if the sudden urgency isn't about genuine justice, but about controlling the narrative after years of foot-dragging. After all, how many 'deep state' conspiracy theories could have been quashed, or confirmed, had this body shown such enthusiasm back
when Epstein was still 'alive'—or, at the very least, when the DOJ first claimed there was 'nothing to release,' years ago? This isn't a victory for transparency; it's an acknowledgment that the public won't simply forget.
