There is a House special election today in Virginia that the Democrats are going to win. There is also a House special election on Sept 23 in Arizona that the Democrats are going to win.

That will give Massie and Khanna the 218 signatures that they need for their petition to force a House vote on releasing all the Epstein files.

The biggest question -- Will Nancy Mace chicken out and vote no after she already signed the petition? There is definitely a good chance that she will completely melt under the pressure from Trump.


From Axios --

Zoom in: From here, it all comes down to voters in the heavily Democratic electorates of Fairfax, Virginia, and Tucson, Arizona.
  • Virginia's 11th congressional district is voting Tuesday on a successor to deceased Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.). Democrat James Walkinshaw is expected to win easily in a seat that voted for former Vice President Harris by 34 points.
  • Likewise for Democrat Adelita Grijalva, who is running to replace her father, the late Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), in the Sept. 23 special election in Arizona's 7th district. The seat went for Harris by 22 points last year.
  • Spokespeople for Walkinshaw and Grijalva told Axios they plan to sign the Epstein discharge petition if elected to Congress.

I hope it results in a roll call vote. We need to see exactly where each house member stands.

I'm fairly sure the democrats will call for a roll call just for that purpose. All the folks in the gop who have lost all their values and morality, we should see your faces as you vote no. Just despicable.

.....and when Trump ignores the demand?

Then what?

Slick, how about releasing all the files instead of 'the list'.

Apparently, there is no "list." Never was, according to the Miami journalist who broke the story and has been on it ever since. What will be released are all the court documents and other discovery files which have never been made public.

I've read that there are many names that will be embarrassed, including Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and of course Trump. Also Bruce Willis, Cameron Diaz, Cate Blanchett, Kevin Spacey, Naomi Campbell, Leonardo DiCaprio, Woody Allen, Bill Gates, Thorbjørn Jagland, a former Norwegian prime minister, former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak and former Barclays chairman Jes Staley, Michael Jackson, and a whole bunch of rich business people.

Of course, being mentioned in the files doesn't necessarily mean anything. But...

For sure!

If we can get out from under that one judge that keeps blocking these releases, we'll be fine.

And we all know who appointed that judge.

Dozens of posters and multiple Democrats promised me there was a list. Why would anyone say there isn't?

In fact, the victims are even going to begin talking about starting to make a list. So your words are juat deflection.

That judge wants all the files released, not just the grand jury files but nice try at twisting things.

Maybe because Pam Bondi said there was a black book and a list?

THis is just another chance to show the country that any GOP member has a backbone and will do what is right. I suspect it will fail and Mace will vote against it with some lame excuse like protecting those who are injured by Epstein. She wanted to look good but now will just fold like the coward her and the rest of the GOP have shown themselves to be.

No, what I said is what I believe based on the number one expert on the Epstein case. In any case, deflect from what? I want all the info released. Where's the deflection?
