I haven't seen it yet, but I presume there is actual truth being told about the fundamental foundation of our pre/post-revolution society and economy.

Indeed. There is even fair treatment of George III, buffing some of the unfair tarnish from his reputation.

Nope...

  • “I have been a principled ‘NO’ on this bill from the beginning. What was wrong with the bill three months ago is still wrong today,” he wrote in a post on X after the vote. “It abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America.”
  • He continued, “As written, this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people – witnesses, people who provided alibis, family members, etc. If enacted in its current form, this type of broad reveal of criminal investigative files, released to a rabid media, will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt. Not by my vote.

The Fix Is In As Senate Leader Thune To Help Trump With Epstein Files Cover-Up

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) made it clear while speaking to reporters that Senate Majority Leader Thune is going to kill the bill to release the Epstein files in the Senate. As soon as Trump flipped his position on the House vote to release the Epstein files, it was an omen that Republicans had a plan to kill the legislation that would force the Department of Justice to release the files.


Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said on Monday that he never tried to kill the Epstein files discharge petition, which is laughable, because Johnson kept the House closed and delayed the swearing in of the member who became the 218th vote on the discharge petition for nearly two months.

Republicans are trying to bury the Epstein scandal in the hope that time will make it go away.

Trump fought and tried until the final moment to pressure one of the four Republicans who had signed the petition to remove their names. None of them budged, because Trump’s pressure campaign was so suspicious that it caused the House Republicans to dig in more.

The president is heading for a massive defeat in the House, but Trump and Mike Johnson had a backup plan.

They are turning to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to kill the legislation that would compel the DOJ to release the files.

Trump said he would sign the bill if it came to his desk, even though he knew it never would.

While speaking to reporters ahead of the House vote, Speaker Johnson made it clear that the fix is in.

While speaking to reporters, Johnson said that he has enlisted Thune in the Epstein files cover-up.
