Thanks for that reminder. Every now and then, I get pulled back into thinking we are dealing with rational actors.

Understood and agreed. But my belief is that just the belief that someone might have a copy of the docs might be enough to prevent them from destroying anything.

Nah, too many people (including Comey’s daughter) have seen them and potentially copied them. Too many people involved during the last admin knew enough that Trump’s folks would destroy them.

Damn straight he is. Everyone keeps saying they are daring the Dems to not cave, but the reality is they want the Dems to hold strong and force a shutdown, thus further delaying the vote and release of more files.

ah, yes, the REAL reason Johnson sent everyone home until after a potential government shut down...can't vote to release the files if the gov't is shut down and they aren't in session.

No...he cancels it, along with Johnson sending his team out of town until after a shutdown would begin, in order to prevent newly elected House member to cast deciding vote to release Epstein files. It's always a distraction to benefit Trump.

hmmm @jd-vance-1.bsky.social you mention the Dems a lot here. However, this guy was an independent and his brother said he was disinterested in politics. Can't u & your lackeys get this slander part right? As Epstein's former girlfriend would say "Be best" or in your case, "be less terrible"

@mariasbartir0m0.bsky.social Are you really this lost? I remember when you were covering the financial markets and spoke honestly. What was the official date you sold your dignity to be one of this clown's paid shills? Don't forget to burn your red hats before your grandkids see them...embarrassing.

Now do people understand the true reason that Johnson sent the House home until Oct, when the government will be shut down, thus delaying the vote?
