I thought the point was to release the files?Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Jeffries objected.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Why did Democrats object to releasing the Epstein files today?
Tim Burchett asked for unanimous consent, and Democrats blocked it.
Was this a Trojan horse in the unanimous consent rules?
They didn't. His spin to the media is a lie, of course. You can watch what really happened on CSPAN. His request could not be entertianed because the Republican Speaker Pro Tempore said Burchett had not followed the rules and because he did not have the consent of Republican Mike Johnson, who is on record opposing Burchett's attempt.
My guess is that he tried this because it would have allowed the no votes to hide.
Those who are going to vote NO to release must be on the record individually voting no to the release when they do the vote by normal procedures next week. Burkett tried to end run that and let the no voters try save face (which may mean he is actually a no vote himself).
And no one should be able to hide thier vote on this. The people have a right to know whether a congress person is complicit in tis coverup.
+1 Burchett is pissing on your leg and telling you it’s raining. He filed a House Resolution (H.Res.577) to release the Epstein files which would have required unanimous consent. He was trying to spare Republicans from having to record their vote on the House Bill under a discharge petition.
The vote is coming, because of the discharge petition. Burchett tried to do an end run around the process with unanimous consent to try and give Republicans cover by not having individual recorded votes.

Brilliant, donkeys.

This is getting fun.
