RE: Rep. Thomas Massie Seeks to Force Vote in Congress to Release Epstein Files

Even so, I was not notified, despite Peakd is set to notify me when I am tagged. It is only because I actively look at my comments when replying to someone that I happened to notice your comment, and gained the benefit of your assessment. Please do keep tagging me, as I am sometimes notified of being tagged. I don't know why I wasn't this time.
However, the required 218 votes were about to be cast, and the measure was going to pass, so Speaker Mike Johnson shut down Congress and sent them home for vacation a day early, delaying the vote at least until September. I was also surprised that what I have considered to be a nest of corrupt and spineless vipers with occasional honest men managing to infiltrate, was going to vote for Massie's bill. I suspect the pressure from constituents is overwhelming, and many representatives have been threatened with primaries if they don't vote for this bill. Americans are overwhelmingly outraged at the claim Epstein killed himself for not having trafficked any little kids or blackmailing anyone Trump and his toadies have made. We ALL know it's a lie.
Not a chance 218 vote for it. Not all necessary guilty but those not directly are on the take in some other way.
Were the votes not forthcoming, Speaker Johnson would have let the vote proceed to put an end to the matter. Believe me that I am as shocked as you that reports indicate the measure would have passed, as before the vote was prevented I was just as sure that they would not have passed it. I have very poor regard for Congress.
