The bill only forces the release of unclassified information.

Pass it on.

Unclassif- oh, we are done then
“This bill requires the DOJ to publish (in a searchable and downloadable format) all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in DOJ's possession that relate to the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein.”

There’s a safety word in there

It's like Barr tanking the mueller report 2.0. Deliberately release some crumbs that don't incriminate him. Eventually when the whole thing gets out, the media will have already told everyone the president is innocent, and will allow him to spin it as a witch hunt

"I suspect this vote will be, probably, unanimous," Mike Johnson says ahead of the House voting to pass a bill to force DOJ to release its Epstein files -- a bill Mike Johnson has been fighting to block for months.

Mike Johnson says he will continue working to cover up the Epstein files 👇
Mike Johnson says he's talked to Thune & he's "very confident that when this moves forward in the process - if & when it is processed in the Senate, which is no certainty - they will take the time methodically to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House. To amend this discharge petition."

Andrew Johnson — a Jan. 6 rioter who went by "Am🇺🇸rican T🇺🇸rrorist” on Elon Musk’s platform — has been arrested on child molestation charges, with police saying he used the promise of a taxpayer-funded payout from Trump's DOJ to try and keep one of the victims silent.

Virginia Giuffre's family: There's nothing holding Trump back from releasing them himself. He's been very opposing to this, calling it a hoax many times, which is incredibly incredibly hurtful to survivors. And now he's reversing course. If you truly supported it, then just then just release it now.

And there we have it
Johnson says he talked to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and is "very confident" that if this bill comes up in the Senate, GOP senators will amend it to "ensure ... protections" are there.

Unclear what exactly that means, but feels like an effort to tank this thing.

If Donald Trump wants to release the Epstein files, he could just release them, instead of green-lighting the House resolution.

And it's not as if he cares whether he has statutory authority to do a lot of what he's been doing.

But he needs a law for this?

And Thune in the Senate said they're gonna add amendments to it if it comes up so that explains why Trump said the House should release the files. Lol.

The question is whether the media will let the public know this before Trump only releases files on Dems and people think it's all the files

oh damn I didn't realize president trump SAID HIMSELF he has nothing to hide, this changes everything
Mike Johnson: "Democrats are trying to use the Epstein matter as a political weapon to distract from their own party's failures. In a desperate attempt, they're trying to somehow tie President Trump to the scandal. President Trump has nothing to do with it. He said himself he has nothing to hide."

Why do journalists have no apparent solidarity whatsoever? This rancid POS jabs his finger in a woman reporter's face and calls her "piggy" and none of the other journalists there says a word?
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Brett Meiselas on MTG: The craziest thing is it's not like she even said anything bad about Trump. Nor did she even suggest he was involved with Jeffrey Epstein. All she said was that the people deserve the Epstein files — and he lost his mind. That’s the definition of “a hit dog will holler.”
