GOP Rep. Thomas Massie filed a discharge petition today to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Working with Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, Massie now needs to persuade 216 additional House members to sign it.
updating in near realtime or just a short delay clerk.house.gov/DischargePet... six of those 217 have to be Republican but looking at co-sponsors, there are six Republicans in there, maybe they will sign at last second but should be cautioned not to do that as they will appear as "deciding vote"
#KenMinyard has 3 questions❗ 🎥👍✨ youtube.com/shorts/U06p0...
Mike Johnson and the MAGAt Congress are covering up the trump criminal organization and its rich, powerful donors. They will do anything to protect them.
Ok, so, do they have a chance to get to that number or is this just smoke up our ass like everything else they try and do??
It will be theater. I will be amazed if enough Republicans have the guts to do it. I don’t doubt that at least one Democrat will vote against it as well if they think they will face a tight race in a purple district.
GQP do what your oath says !!!
Never happen - 216 gutless cowards will never do the right thing! “To know what is right and NOT do it IS the worst cowardice”! Vote the spineless anti-American 🫏es OUT!!
Yes. "There is no right way to do the wring thing."
I’m gonna go ahead and assume that those who refuse to sign are IN the Epstein files or protecting one of their OWNERS who is. #ReleaseEpsteinFiles
Won't hold my breath, but it would be a pleasant surprise. Let the "nays" explain themselves as Epstein victims tell their stories. Forgive my language, but fuck the motherfucking GOP! Your families may suffer for this while you bring it to them. Will you decide to save them? #Traitors
Fat chance. Too many have too much to hide.
Wow, and moral fiber in the GOP?
They won't. They are determined to protect the men involved. Oh and #fucktrump
Think Trumps ownership of the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants. Add in Russian mob activity and Putin.
Survivors will have a press conference on the steps of the Capitol tomorrow. www.youtube.com/live/kvJuX_h...
Dems will not step up.
Guess again!
I hope you’re right
Me too! 🤞
Black hole is where they are by now. I fear.
AND we want a list of the Yea’s and Nay’s 🙂
Yeah, good luck with that. They have to protect President Pedo.
After all these months how much of those files do you think are intact? Who is so perfect that if given the opportunity they wouldn't take out little things.
Fuck that. The people that hired you and pay your salary said do it!!

If they know what is good for them- they will- or there will be hell to pay from the people
👍🙏🏽
Massie. Not the LBJ of arm twisting congressional bros. Another 💡?!
According to Popock 💕 this am, Massie has all 212 Ds + 1 R (Massie), & needs only 5 more. Thank you Popock.
Finally, thanks for posting
Ugh. It's so annoying when I have to support Massie's actions.
Good luck with that. GOP now stands for Guardians of Pedophiles.
i hate that the word discharge has to be anywhere near the word epstein under any circumstance
Trump has the power and authority to release all Epstein files and records today. He refuses. This is The Trump/Epstein/Maxwell coverup.
White House is calling republicans in congress and telling them not too vote to release the Epstein Files
That’s why he was late to his Oval Office presser.
That and they kept having to pump him up with drugs to walk and talk.
Yeah, they said it would be considered a "hostile act" if they voted for it.

Thanks to Trump! He is fully responsible! www.cnn.com/world/live-n...
They are high off their asses if anyone actually thinks they'll get the full files. It's probably a ploy because they've got them all scrubbed so they'll fake outrage & demand to see so they can play "look! He's not in them! Huzzah! I think this ends the subject," & his moron base'll fall for it.
The victims need to start naming names and sharing the explicit details! PUBLICLY!
is this from a previous article
I mean, it’s dated 2016….
When she was threatened is immaterial. The fact that she was frightened enough to withdraw her complaint should be sufficient. Powerful men can evade justice by using their money and power. Free to continue raping children.
Saw that, thankkkkks!
#ReleaseTheFullEpsteinFiles #ReleaseTheEpsteinFile #StandWithEpsteinVictims #FreeDoraTheExplorer What’s wrong GOP House members. You insisted to Biden & Dems that the full files be released. Now under Trump, you begin your own fierce battle to keep the contents hidden. Why? What are you afraid of?
it will never happen. not one other Republican/MAGAT has the balls
If you can't find 216 people who think pedophiles should be put on a registry & in a jail, then you can't find 216 people who aren't s***** parents. I think every pedo should be put in jail forever cuz they don't change. Well I suppose they could just like they create more pedophiles, mental torture

This seems fishy. And I don’t like fishy. I doubt we will ever seen the files. I can’t see Rumo burning them. Remember, he thinks he can “do whatever the hell he wants!”
Maybe I'm too cynical, but I just can't imagine that all those files will be made public without generous redaction. And I can't imagine that we'll be able to actually see Frump's name in whatever they'll let us see.
Good
Whelp that means some repscum would need to agree. We all know thats not going to happen. BUT make them go on the record with a vote. Resist in any way possible No matter if it won't actually win in the end. Stand up for whats correct and proper . No matter What.
They've hidden the parts that might implicate Donald. We'll never know the truth. Unless Dildo Bongina gets mad enough to talk.
This. They will release like 5% of it and redact or destroy everything else
I emailed congressman Flood waiting for an answer
Literally 100 victims will be available tomorrow to tell everyone of the files’ contents.
What's with Thomas Massie? Yeah...I don't care in this specific instance
He seems to have turned on Trump for real. I’m not saying he can’t be running a “Susan Collins” feint, but he seems to have found a spine.
I don't want to jump to that conclusion, but he talks like he cares about these victims
Please make the calls to our elected officials on Capitol Hill! Demand Transparency on the Epstein Files!
I called, Tweeted, and emailed! I have been encouraging my friends and neighbors to do so as well!
I am very skeptical he will get it done. Too many don’t have the spine, the conscience, or the integrity.
Every single Democrat better vote to release Any republicans that they they gave a chance at re-election better vote to release
So, basically 5 GOP members?
Don’t forget tomorrow’s a big day when the victims meet on the steps of the capital building for press conference. I certainly hope they get good coverage.
I’m also seeing it’ll be at the White House triangle park?
And the votes will be the tell-tale of which House members are complacent with the raping of young girls.
* complicit
Maybe both.
I truly believe that both conplacent and complicit are both very possilbe.
Good luck
There is a snowballs chance in hell that many Trump-cultists grow a conscience.
Massie found his spine and I'm so here for it. (Somehow I gotta believe Moscow Mitch asked for one too many favors.)
🚩AMERICAN PEOPLE Should Be Allowed to Vote to Open Up the Files‼️ 🚩Not Congress Women and Young Women over 13 ( Victim ages) should have a say ‼️ If they’re old enough to get pregnant and raped by MAGA states, they’re old enough enough to have decision making POWERS as adults ‼️
Anyone who does not sign it must be a pedo! Stone the lot who do not sign.
The last person I ever thought would SPINE UP on the right. I assume he cares more about his daughters than Mike Johnson...
Get the treasury files too.
Is it because he knows he’s an incompetent spend thrift or what is it with him?
We need more heroes like this man people! There is so many little and big thing each of us can do‼️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻‼️🙌🏻🙌🏻
"files related to the late *sex trafficker* Jeffrey Epstein." Thank you for not calling him a "financier." I'm getting pretty tired of seeing MSM referring to him as such. But now the question is, can we get the votes?
Ron Desantis is trying to erase the historic Ocean Drive rainbow crosswalk, our #LGBTQ community, and any reminder of us by weaponizing the Florida Department but WE WON'T BE ERASED @equalityfl.bsky.social #MiamiBeach #LGBTQ equalityflorida.gthru.io/gpnsRow?t=h-...
Trying to get those files released is a waste of time. We KNOW he's had them destroyed. We will never get concrete proof of his dealings with Epstein, just like that 1.5 minutes of tape just before Epstein "killed himself" are totally gone. Let's move on to something we CAN change.
At this point anyone who votes against this disclosure should be presumed to be mentioned somewhere in the files.
@rephuffman.bsky.social My Rep If you have been found yet I hope you will sign
If this press conference doesn’t make you want the files released, there is something wrong with you. www.youtube.com/live/iWv46UX...
This KYian has disagreed with Massie on most issues, but I’m grateful to see him pursue this cause #epsteinfiles
We’ll have a list of the ones that didn’t sign won’t we?
We want the Epstein FBI Witness reports. FD-302s, that is the gold paperwork. Don't settle for anything less.
And Ole Mikey is PISSED…!
Isn’t it actually 5? Five additional repoobs? Because Rep. Kohanna has 211 House Dem colleagues who will ALL vote Yes. The calculus could not be more plain… www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...
Oh... hell no
I'm guessing the GQP will manage to kill this.
unfortunately massie was on chris hayes msnbc show today with rep Ro Khana and said he didnt think trump had any involvement, but was trying to protect some of his friends.
Been wondering what Massie's motivation is in this. Because, you know, he's a republican, and thus can't be taken seriously or trusted... ? 🤷🏼♀️
That ain’t happening so…. 🤷🏾♂️
CALL YOUR CONGRESSMEN! 2 more Rs and all the Ds need to sign the discharge petition to force the floor vote on releasing the files. Johnson will not bring the Massie/Khana resolution to the floor and the White House is actively whipping against it. Support the survivors. Pass it on!
He must be the only GOP Rep that they don't have kompromat on.
Lotsa Cowards in Congress these days! Good Luck to Khanna and Massie !
do you think they should peruse the files and see if there are any sitting reps in the files before they do? Would it be a politeness to give them warning (politeness usually reserved for Senators) or best to just let 'er rip?
Politeness for a rapist pedophile?
The Senate is different (i.e. rich-ish and weird)... The House of Representatives are mainly 'normal' people...
Yea, none of them deserve politeness.
If you see a fork in the road, take it. (Yogi Berra)
I am hoping that you are wrong. If even MTG is supporting the discharge position then Khanna and Massie might have the votes to get this done!
I don’t understand, even if they release them they’ll be heavy redacted and a lot of missing pages or false info! Lets hear from the victims
It is unusual to see a GOP do something like this without simultaneously announcing his retirement.
Massie & Khanna already have 216 votes (212 Dems + Massie, #Marge3toes, #LaurenHJBobert & #NancyPantyInspectorMace). 2 more #GQP & discharge petition passes
Okay they release it and it’s been cooked so Taco or his henchmen aren’t in there. Then they’ll gloat over yanking our chain for years
Apparently, Massie is one of the few who are not on the list.
So Thomas Massie is the new Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski who pretends to be a “good guy” knowing damn well that they would never get the votes?!?
You guys are the stupidest suckers for distraction .
It will NEVER happen. The pedophile leaning, woman raping GOP will never release the information of dear leader. It's not in their nature to help the victims gain closure, it's to protect the criminals first.
God help us all when Massie is the one taking the ethical and appropriate action... But I'll take it. Now brace for the Trump admin to threaten and blackmail reps that sign onto it.
216 coward republicans
Would be easier if three of our Dem reps hadn't died in the past six months...
Hope the Congressional Democratic Congressional Leaders and Party are doing something in the home districts of soft Republicans to win their support. I am skeptical though at they doing nothing of substance.
Congressional Democrats have, with few exceptions, given us no reason to be anything other than skeptical
All democrats better sign
I think I heard they did?
Supposedly 12 Rs are w/Massie .. of which he needs at least 6 to sign. Of course. ALL 212 DEMS are with it (better!) Total needs to be at least 218 signatures. GOP Rep. Thomas Massie takes first step to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files share.google/AvzPwOBhUvnL...
Thought i heard every Dem was in, thank you for confirming! 👍
Shouldn’t be too difficult
BELIEVE THE VICTIMS!!!
So 212 DEM’s + Massie = 213…so we need 3 Republicans. Who’s weak, who do we need to be calling?
I'd ask...who is strong? The weak stand by trump The strong oppose him
Fair point.
And you expect to anything credible and not AI enhanced from Bimbo Bondi and Cross Eyed Patel? Dream on!
I would like to believe this but he is a Republican. Makes it hard to believe anything they say.
Transparency is essential, no matter who it implicates.
100%!!
I don't understand why it is so complicated
Well I guess he's the one GOP not in the files.
Hmmm 🤔

Easier said than done. Wishing luck!!
Just called my GOP Rep. & asked him to join his Republican colleague Massie & sign to release DOJ Epstein files because we can’t protect pedophiles.
Who’s your Rep.?
Darrell Issa. Yeah, I know. But at least his staff has to pick up the phone & listen.
As much as I abhor nearly everything about #MTG, she is pushing back against the #MAGAt #GOP pedo apologists and speaking out for #Epstein survivors. #BelieveWomen
Good luck
Did not have Rep. Thomas Massie on my bingo card for anything and I mean any. thing. This is oddly welcomed.
Call me cynical, but I believe these documents, if released, will be heavily redacted with Fat Donny's name and other powerful MAGAs removed, but Dems and non MAGA Rs names will remain. Possibly, some even added to make it extra juicy to satisfy the cult.This is our reality.
Excessive redactions themselves seem like obvious evidence of guilt.
I’ve got to give him credit, he’s relentless…where are the other feckless fools? Your GOP job is not worth the ass licking
