    Republican lawmakers have blocked a move that could have forced President Donald Trump’s administration to release the files on the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s death and investigation.

    All but one of the GOP members of the House Rules Committee voted against a Democrat amendment that would have allowed Congress to vote on whether the files should be made public or not.

  2. They’re even starting to lose Newsweek over this issue.

    When Newsweek decides to get off its knees, wipe its chin, and do some honest reporting on Republicans, you know something is different about this story.

  3. Funny how this happened 4 hours ago and still not a peep about it on /r/cons. 😂

  4. Of course they did. How much would you guys wager the GOP are in them, too?

  8. > Trump, who has never been accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, has tried to move the conversation away from the issue and there is no evidence that Trump is mentioned in any unreleased files related to the sex offender.

    He’s certainly fucking acting like it’s mentioned.

  9. They’re buying time for the files to be rewritten without mention of Trump’s name. Pure and simple. THEN they will be released in full

  10. Trump said on Truth Social that democrats created the list, to basically frame him. This is an admission that he knows he’s in them.

  13. Weren’t these the Pizzagate people? What happened to protecting children from pedophiles?

  16. funny thing too is if the democrats ARE on the files then the republicans just saved the democrats by doing this move. and since that is something the republicans would never do or admit it means that its actually the republicans and trump that are on there

  17. So now it’s on record that Democrats voted to essentially release the records/names of pedophiles at the center of the Epstein case and the Republicans squashed it. Democrats better run with this ironic victory. Fwiw I’m under no delusions that most high-level Democrats actually want this released anymore than trump does… They knew how this would turn out and the Republicans walked right into it.

  18. It is criminal how they blocked the list, maybe there are guilty Pedos in the party

  19. The Republican lawmakers who voted are at the very least complicit in protecting pedophiles. Change my mind.

  22. Democrats, please know how to do this!

    Please, we’re begging you to have a message. He’s on the ropes and you just need to say:

    “Republicans protect pedophiles.”

    Whether Trump is in them or not:

    “Republicans protect pedophiles.”

  23. GOP: “Well actually no one should see the Epstein files, also they are not real in spite of everything we said over the last like 5 years. In fact lets just pretend Epstein never existed and any photos of him with politicians, wealthy people or just anyone in general aren’t important and have no connection to such things a pedophilia, sex trafficking, and or rape.”

    Seriously these fuckers are once again covering the ass of the worst person the American electorate could have ever elected for President in spite of him selling them on electing him to release this list.

  24. Childfuckers. All of them guilty by association. I’m DISGUSTED

  25. So for years, the GOP have gone on and on about the Epstein files including Don Jr. (a POS) and now they can put their money where their mouth is and they choose to block the release ! They truly are the lowest filth imaginable. Dirty Don really wants to distract you and make it all go away. DON’T ALLOW THESE SCUM TO OBSTRUCT THE TRUTH !

  26. No shit, your supreme leader is a convicted sexual offender, a former buddy of Epstein and notoriously attracted to young girls by his own admission.

    It’s been a long road since you guys were all offended by your president receiving a blowjob.

  27. Dems went for the balls on this one and bafflingly Republicans let them get kicked

    This is an absolute horrible look for the GOP holy shit

  28. Again. Just goes back to Biden’s administration fucking around and playing nice. They should have released all this stuff regardless of decorum.

  29. How can you just decide to vote on whether or not you investigate someone for rape and pedophilia.

    Your government is a disgrace.

  31. They’re Defending pedophiles, and child sex traffickers. Plain and simple

  32. With the support of republicans, donald trump gets away with raping kids.
