Thomas Massie for President! From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson on Tuesday announced he was putting an early end to the summer legislative session, denying justice-seeking members the chance to force votes on releasing files relating to accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. While the House was scheduled to stay in session through Thursday, the last action will take place on Wednesday instead, after a Rules Committee standoff on how to handle amendments and resolutions relating to Epstein.
“The president has said clearly, and he has now ordered his DOJ to do what it is we’ve all needed DOJ to do for years now, and that is to get everything released,” Johnson told reporters. “So they’re in the process of that. There’s no purpose for Congress to push an administration to do something that they’re already doing. And so this is for political games.”
However, Johnson and President Trump themselves stand accused of playing political games with the issue. It started when, after long promising to reveal names and facts, Attorney General Pam Bondi triggered a firestorm among Trump’s supporters by suddenly attempting to close out the issue with flat declarations that there is no Epstein “client list” nor evidence he was running a blackmail operation.
Coming under fire, Trump strangely and repeatedly called the Epstein controversy a “hoax” created by Democrats, and even called his own supporters “weaklings” for falling for it. Johnson has likewise attempted to associate the push for Epstein documents as a Democratic initiative, despite intense interest among MAGA Republicans, who want to know who was furnished with underage females, and if Epstein was working for Israeli and/or US intelligence.
What AIPAC wants AIPAC gets.
Bomb bomb Iran is back on.
Scuttlebutt that the DOJ told Trump earlier this year that he is on the list AKA leverage.
