    lol - first comment on the article: “Mike Johnson misunderstood that the current unifying cause for the United State Senate is absolute contempt of Mike Johnson.”

    This makes perfect sense when you remember that voting records is what congress critters are concerned about. Anybody with a recorded No vote for the release of the Epstein file is basically dead politically post-Trump.

    Mike Johnson made sure he’ll have a chance at having a political future with his vote, while trying to kowtow to his Cheeto Jesus verbally at the same time.

    “I’m not saying that. I don’t know,” said a frustrated Johnson, who said he opposed releasing the files on the grounds that it could reveal the identities of many of the victims perpetrators.

      Mike Johnson the fake Christian and very real pedophile protector. Johnson doesn’t think raping kids is bad, he fully supports child rape and protecting rapists.

    Don’t worry it’s only the unclassified stuff.

    Although some demented rapist likes to talk shit about how he can unclassify something with the blink of an eye. Wonder if that’ll happen.

      Eh not really, watch the legal eagle episode about it.

      There’s a provision that says if something is classified they need to formally declare to closed session the general idea of what it is and why within iirc a week.

      Ah but that’s the joy. Now we get to bitch and scream their own birther arguments back at them.

      I’m waiting for the release of the long-form Epstein list.

        I will be demanding that immediately after the first batch is released. What glorious turn-about.

      So long as the unredacted or unclassified copies stay in the someone else’s hands, it’ll happen.

      Would be nice if Anonymous posted them online … any day now…

    I think that’s great news, that means they haven’t redacted it enough (I think, it could be a distraction).
