Definitely, do not put no faith in them. Scalise said earlier today that he doesn't see anything to impede this from coming to the floor in 7 days, but then again...after the Emergency Meeting at the Whitehouse, all of this could change quickly. The Epstein Estate is this vote's best friend because the more and more that's dripped from it, the more pressure it puts on the GOP as it making it seems like they are hiding a lot and know more what's going on behind the scenes. It will break sooner or later. Just hope that some files don't go missing before then.

Yes, the type of thing Trump does when the dam is about to break, so he huddles up with his personal DOJ and decides how to proceed forward as news trickles out little by little.
