The cascade of action is set to begin Wednesday evening, when Johnson will swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva right before the House votes to end the government shutdown, ending a 50-day wait following the Arizona Democrat's election. Shortly afterward, Grijalva says she will affix the 218th and final signature to the discharge petition led by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) to force a vote on the full release of DOJ's Epstein files.

If Holy Mike is swearing in Grijalva that means he has flipped enough Republic*nts to shoot down releasing the files.

Protecting pedophiles is the most important thing in the world to Holy Mike.

Nothing Mike does gets him and Trump out of a lose-lose situation. This is tied around their necks all the way to next November.
