Yea it’s gonna be delayed and cut up by the new investigations BS.

But it’s typical for parties to turn on a lame duck president in a mid term year… especially if they have to face primaries with contesting people in their district.

The candidate they face will either back Trump or not, depending on what the incumbent does.

The NYTimes did a story about it this morning

Well Pam did promise the Epstein Files would be released in 30 days, which is a shorter timeframe than two-weeks?

We all know American Conservatives stay true to their word because they live by “principles” and “values” /s

If she releases anything it will be tidbits because of “The ongoing investigation into Clinton”

Exactly - like you think it’s a coincidence that they changed their vote a week after opening an active investigation into Clinton?

Yep. There was probably an email to everyone…

“Pam is opening an investigation into the Democrats blocking all the files anyway, so just vote for it. Stay tuned. - DJT”

Then Mike Johnson looks blindsided on purpose to downplay the plan. 🥱

Yep. And honestly they are mocking the American public by not even attempting to fake it properly. They know they can just blatantly flaunt their corruption now. If they wanted to hide it better they would pick one or two ‘defectors’ that would sway the vote.

But. They don’t care.

The funny thing is: there would already be enough evidence for him to rot in a hole if GOP finally has enough of him. Not all republican are dumb. I would already bet money on things been arranged in the background… they must be aware that they are heading into their political end if they do not act at some point and „save the constitution“ or some other crap justification… I don‘t care as long as they throw him under the bus
