I can’t believe the number of saps that are declaring victory. I mean… journalists who should absolutely know better that to call this as anything other than a setup and distraction to assuage both the MAGA base and allow the GOP house to pretend they suddenly had a moral epiphany.

And fucking Raskin… those clowns will invariably find a way to diminish any slight victory they might accidentally stumble over.

“Opposition Party” my ass…

Besides trump and any dems that may be on the list I’m sure many other world power brokers are too. Both dems and the gop would see rather see the current world structure remain.

We all knew (at least anyone familiar with our government knew) that there would not be full transparency. And Trump knew that when he told Republicans to go ahead and approve the disclosure bill.

It is just too easy for those at the top to hide what they are doing from the public. As Mike Pompeo admitted about the CIA, "We lied, we cheated. we stole, It was like we had entire training courses." (Although, Trump didn't need any training.) And it was all kept secret because it threatened our national security.

Face it. Our national security is just plain bullshit. It is a license for those in power to steal, murder and destroy with impunity.

Figures. Once I heard that T was allowing the republicans to vote for it, I knew the fix was in. We will never get the truth and the survivors will never be vinficated

I really shouldn’t laugh, but I literally sent my goldendoodle running under the bed. I can’t believe the number of people, including most of the MSM, who are bleating, “We won! The Epstein Files must be released.” Anyone with half a brain cell should have expected the national security objection to be raised. I’m also getting a good laugh out of the Democrats who somehow think Trump is the major culprit. My morbid sense of humor needs to be quelled.

Right, “national security”, the catchphrase the PTB use to cover up every illegal/embarrassing thing that government does. What a crock.

Yep. I heard your words from yesterday echo in my memory as I heard him say key words like national and security. What you do is important. I find comfort in your ability to tell which way the wind is blowing. Thank you so much for the good work you do.

Mike Johnson's porn-blocking software does nothing to protect him against videos of him actually visiting the island. (I mean, why else would he be so extremely desperate to block the files?)

From Trump to Prince Andrew through so many others, there are too many very rich men who have an interest in keeping it all under wrap. As soon as trump tried to pretend that voting for the release was his own idea, I knew there would be a back up plan to keep everything under wrap.

I have a feeling that the survivors may still get some semblance of Justice is We The People support them all the way should they decide to publish what happened to them: In books, in newspapers, in blogs, in interviews. If the guilty choose to say it ain't true and dare to try and sue them, we will be by their side. It will take a long time, but we'll get them: their reputation will be ruined.

What I wish folks, and especially young girls would realize is that the system has been in operation for a very long time and all over the world: We have painted to the world this kind of America as the Nirvana, the place where the whole world wants to live, so there are many many third world countries from which they want to escape.

Jean Luc Brunel as only one foreigner who provided "models", girls for this network. He died in a French prison, pretty much like Epstein did, allegedly hung by his bedsheets at La Sante, (a Prison in Paris). I would be surprised if he was the only one. and they have long careers: here is a clip from 60 Minutes called "American Girls in Paris" that Diane Sawyers did in December 1988:

Look at the comments, too. Rich guys preying on young girls are everywhere.

Unrelated to Epstein (as far as I know) look at the kind of character this guy is: Andrew Tate:https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-64125045

Similarly, if you think that Ghislaine was his only "groomer", do a good read of the Wiki article on the Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein

It's a long article with many links and is much better researched than I have seen anywhere else.

@ken #s 2 (no new victims) and 5 (jeopardizes fed investigations) also feel like they open holes for Mac trucks to drive through 😉

To be fair, the whole world knowing Trump sucked off Bill Clinton IS a national security concern.

Which is why we must impeach.
