Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., signed a petition Wednesday to force a House vote on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein, giving it the needed 218 signatures.

Grijalva was sworn in as the newest member of Congress on Wednesday, more than seven weeks after she won a special election in Arizona to fill the House seat last held by her late father.

      Starting already! Mikey has just sent everyone home again for some vacay after their one vote and the month off before that. With the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays approaching too, my guess is that “there won’t be time” to vote on releasing the files.

      Maybe Dick Durbin will talk about how releasing the Epstein Files is an invasion of privacy, and that we should be the bigger man by forgetting they ever existed.
