Why would Speaker Johnson send House members home early for summer recess to prevent a vote to release the Epstein files if there's nothing there?

The same reason Trump told you not to worry about it... The more resistance the public perceives, the more they will demand answers and transparency. Both Trump and Congress want the release of information related to Epstein and they need public outrage to make it happen. The more they tell you that you can't have it, the more you will demand it. Many people want what they can't have.

If they didn't want you to have it, they wouldn't tell you that you can't have it... they just wouldn't talk about it.

Because like the rest of the Republicans he is just a sleazy coward and knows that the end of this era is on the way and just trying to delay the crash. So many now searching for evidence on this Epstein where we know for sure trump, clinton and others are up to their asses in this scandal. Soon I would expect some of those 12 and 13 yr old girls they were playing with will surface and the shit will then totally hit the fan.

Umm,…. Gee, I don’t know? Hmm….. wonder if it was to run cover for OrangeTurd, and to avoid the vote on the perv files that OrangeTurd doesn’t want you to know about?

It was a mistake for Trump to promise to reveal the list. He should have played his hand exactly how Biden did and didn't say anything.. then the left would have nowhere to go with this, because we both know they're not going to criticize Biden for anything.

I am pretty confused over the Epstein files. I thought Johnson wanted to get to the bottom of it. I do not think that this story is going away anytime soon.

Maga Mike is a spineless stooge, he only wants what the dear leader dictates him to want. And for reasons we can now only speculate about, the dear leader doesn’t want these files released.

Probably to prevent Demunists from filbustering and trying to distract on the House floor. So far, it's been just *them* caught up in this..., but we shall see.

They were ordered to by high-level Democrats and Republicans.

If there was something there…. The Biden administration would have released it to hurt Trump. They tried everything else.

So, why would MAGA land be in a frenzy over this for years? Why won't you answer my question? What is Johnson doing here? Obviously, they're hiding something!

[BadApple69]

MAGA wants transparency…. This isn’t looking very transparent.
It’s my belief that the people who visited this pedo island are the super rich, the super famous, politicians from both sides, royalty (which we know for a fact), and even at least one Supreme Court judge (that we are mostly sure of).
This could be one of those things that we are not talking about a few politicians losing there jobs but 20or 30 of them, judges and others… the fallout would mean that the government stops working for months until new elections take place…. Until judges can be replaced. The chaos could be devastating for this country. All speculation but possible.
