If the arm twisting succeeds as you indicate, I think the files shall be leaked

The vote will fail, and the files will subsequently leak

Leak a fake set of "Epstein Files", then call them out as fakes, accuse Democrats of running another illegal "hoax", threaten to sue anyone who publishes them, and if the actual files then get leaked, leak another fake set shortly thereafter. No way the public can keep the various tranches of leaked files straight, PR problem solved!

F47's crew learned long ago to treat all issues primarily as PR problems and it's worked out for them so far.

Whoever folds awards their next election opponent a great gift.

Disgusting and disgraceful, whoever helps the coverup.

Allison Gill, there are reportedly at least 100 Rs ready to vote for it on the floor, perhaps if someone can't take the pressure from the WH goons, one or a few of them might step up... maybe.
