BREAKING: The Epstein Files just got one step closer to being released. With Adelita Grijalva’s victory in AZ-07, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna now have the magic number — 218 votes — needed for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein Files.

Well, it would still have to get through the Senate. Are there thirteen Republicans willing to vote for it if Trump tells them not to?
Or does Trump just let them vote how they want and simply veto the bill? Doesn't seem like his approach, but that would give all the Congresscritters the political cover they want going into the midterms while still keeping the files from being released.

Ah yes, the damn Senate. The GOP members there are just as spineless as in the House. I stand corrected: we will never see the full Epstein files in a Trump administration.

Ah yes, the damn Senate.
And the veto! Remember, the effort to force the release of the Epstein files is a piece of legislation. Like any piece of legislation, the President can veto it.

Which veto can still be overridden by a 2/3 majority of both the House and Senate. But that's pretty unlikely to happen if it gets that far, unless there's some sort of Watergate level coverup that's discovered.
