BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow. She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

He's run out of excuses.

I've watched many, oh so many, of his attempted rationalizations for giving our House of Representatives a weeks-long paid vacation (what's it now? 7 or 8 or maybe 9 weeks? How many of Americans have 7 or 8 or 9 weeks of vacation?) in order to prevent the Epstein files from being revealed

So, what will be his next attempt to suppress the Epstein files, once the Houe is back in session?

There will be a brief distraction when Lewzer pardons Ghislaine Maxwell and has her flown to the UK on Bribe Force One, never to be seen again.

Given all the laws that Pres Trump apparently has flouted, that action would not surprise me at all.

Would it disgust me because it flouts the law of the Country? Absolutely.

But would it surprise me that Pres Trump may do this? Absolutely not.

Because the unredacted Epstein files are a death knell to Trump, my guess is that the duo of Trump/Johnson have another "Plan" to protect Trump from that 218th vote from ever happening.

When the end is nigh, acute desperation knows no boundaries.

A distraction won't work. They've tried that relentlessly.

Nothing so far has swayed the public's demand to know whether or not the President of the United States is a pedophile.

And rightfully so.

Well, the delay gave them time to sanitize the Epstein Files to take out the references to the billionaire caste, and certainly they found a way to make sure Trump is protected.

At this point the Epstein files are three pages long, fully redacted. Pam Blondi will explain that what is being presented is all the Biden Administration left behind, so blame it all on them. Case closed...
