I see news articles that the vote to release the files might not happen until the first week of December, but yesterday saw a massive dump of emails.
Are these two separate things? Why are they categorized like this? Do we know how different they are from each other? Who has actually seen what’s in the files?


The emails.released are a subset of the “Epstein Files”, with the latter essentially meaning “every document from the decades of investigation into Trump’s dead former friend and child-trafficing pedophile.”
As to who’s seen them and what’s inside, that list includes in fact or responsibility:
The vote that the pedophile-protecting speaker of the house reluctantly scheduled is from a “discharge petition”, which is a way for a majority of the house to force a vote on something that the speaker refused to schedule. But remember that it’s still an ordinary act of Congress.
In order for it to have any actual effect we’d need to see the vote happen in the house, pass the house with more ayes than nays, be scheduled in the Senate, pass their 60-vote extra-conditional cloture bullshit, be vetoed by the pedophile in chief, and then be re-passed in both chambers of Congress with the constitutionally stipulated super majorities to override a veto.
Politically, though – Trump and his cronies wouldnt be trying so hard to keep this information from being released if it didn’t confirm he was a rapist pedophile or worse. So, those of us who are not officers of the court can and should treat the rapist pedophile as a rapist pedophile until the facts come out and prove he’s something even worse
And the point of the vote isnt that they think it will cause the files to be released, its to force Republicans to either vote against Trump or go on record with an officially recorded vote that can be hammered in future elections.
Thank you!
Do we know how this subset became available to share before the rest of the files? Are there other subsets that may become available before all of the rigamarole of the voting and vetoing?
