Pondering why Boebert, Greene, and Mace signed and would not remove their signatures from the discharge petition....

Boebert, Greene, and Mace signed and, in the case of Boebert and Mace, would not remove their signatures from it. We're not aware if Greene was also pressured to remove her signature.

Nancy Mace has admitted to having been an abuse victim and left the room in quite an emotional state after some of Epstein's victims were being interviewed in the House. Nothing (that I'm aware of) is known about Boebert or Greene in the context of sexual abuse....

It's common knowledge that sex abusers do not do well in prison, because so many of the prisoners themselves have been sexually abused. The "not doing well in prison" often means the fellow prisoner who is in for abuse is killed. Call it displaced revenge for never being able to get back at their abuser. "Displaced revenge refers to the act of directing revenge towards a target other than the original transgressor, often as a psychological response to feelings of powerlessness or frustration."

Are there any dots to be connected here?

or B) they know their appeal to their base is contingent on following through on "the Epstein files"

I don't know which one it is; and across the four of Massie, Mace, Bobo, MTG it might vary.

Not gonna vote for her/them, but I think these women are serious on this issue. They’ll be back loving trump soon, but glad to see them drawing a line.

as everyone else, tired of pretending he’s God, tired of kissing his ass - but too afraid to speak against him or move to remove him. I’m thinking they all hope the Epstein thing will finally take him out, and that they will be able to carry on with their agenda, stronger for having finally removed the distraction bringing them all down. I suspect the party will implode as everyone maneuvers for power, but I don’t think THEY think that will happen. But, bottom line, they’re not removing their names because everyone is secretly sick of his shit, and they all know he’s got dementia.

And are confident that voting for release of the files is the best way to end the long shadows being cast by keeping them hidden.

Only Mace and Boebert seemed remotely persuadable...

must know he's a "star" participant, for many years, in the Epstein Files... and cemented when he "begged them to take their names off the petition". Traitor groveling.

Everyone knows... Especially bondi..and vacne.. Pedophiles adjacent.
