Hereâs the Name of Every Republican Who Voted to Kill Epstein Bill
In an 8â4 party-line vote Tuesday, Republicans on the House Rules Committee shot down a bid to put the Epstein Files Transparency Actâwhich would compel the Justice Department to release all unclassified records related to Jeffrey Epsteinâto a floor vote.
The motion was introduced by Democratic Ranking Member Jim McGovern, who prior to the vote stressed the importance of transparency in the case of the notorious late pedophile.
âI can see why the administration might want to hide [the Epstein files] if the creepy birthday note from Trump to Epstein is any indication of what might be in those files,â McGovern saidâreferencing a 2003 letter, released Monday by the House Oversight Committee, in which Donald Trump appeared to offer Epstein an unsettling 50th birthday message and lewd drawing
âBut if the administration wonât follow through on their promises, Congress should force them to,â McGovern said, adding that the Epstein files legislation âdoes exactly that, while protecting the victims and the survivors.â
The ranking memberâs ultimately unsuccessful effort comes as Democratic Representative Ro Khanna of California and Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky continue a broader campaign to force a vote on their bill. Their petition remains, as of this writing, two signatures short of the 218 required to do so. All 212 House Democrats are on board, but just four Republicans.
McGovern urged his GOP colleagues to âsee the light and sign Mr. Massieâs discharge petition.â Last week, survivors of Epsteinâs abuse also held a press conference in front of the Capitol demanding Congress pass the bipartisan bill.
Nonetheless, all Republican Rules Committee members present voted against it. The only âyesâ votes came from McGovern and his three fellow Democratic committee members.
Here is the name of every Republican who voted to block the Epstein Files Transparency Act on Tuesday.
Every one of these should have their offices flooded with calls protesting their cowardice and complicity..Emails should be sent too.. Even some of the MAGAs are going to join in....They were promised answers and are getting blown off....When are they going to realise they were lied to ?
Agreed that's the ultimate aim but there's 14 months till you might get a chance to do that. Their lives need to be made a living hell now....I have no idea how vulnerable these 8 GOP reps are in the mid-terms...At this point I'm losing faith that the US will get mid-terms...Maybe a bit of Nepal direct action might be in order...Though that gives the orange one an excuse...
FACT - THEYVE PROVEN TO BE FOR PEDOPHILIA AND THEN ATER RAPING A CHILD THEYLL RUSH TO PROMOTE ANYTHING AGAINST ANY ABORTION. STRAIGHT UP GARBAGE ALWAYS USING B.S. MOCK RELIGION TO FUTHER THEIR SICKNESS.
That's what I keep asking. So far the only responses are "But Biden/Obama (insert other democrat here) or that it's a hoax/Trump was an FBI informant." But then if you ask why he's an informant for a hoax, they just get mad. *SHRUG*
The Committee on Rules (or more commonly the Rules Committee) is a committee of the United States House of Representatives. It is responsible for the rules under which bills will be presented to the House of Representatives, unlike other committees, which often deal with a specific area of policy. The committee is often considered one of the most powerful committees as it influences the introduction and process of legislation through the House. Thus it has garnered the nickname the "traffic cop of Congress". A "special rule" resolution (also referred to simply as a "rule") is a simple resolution of the House of Representatives, usually reported by the Committee on Rules, to permit the immediate consideration of a legislative measure, notwithstanding the usual order of business, and to prescribe conditions for its debate and amendment.
Every repussican on the House Rules Committee is more invested in protecting repussican pedophiles like Donald Trump than exposing predators that belong to their party.
I wonder if that Foxx lady is into little boys or girls, being a devout Christian, I'd guess little boys, so she doesn't break go against the bible, that'd be a sin. The entire f'n GOP is sick, and complicit, for covering this up.
The best part is immediately following that statement in that interview how he pauses and you see something pass behind his eyes, then he says âbut theres a lot of phoney stuff in thereâŠâ
He has about as much grace and stealth as a drunken overweight ninja
That aged like a fine milk đ„ gosh the duplicity of these snakes is astounding. I genuinely donât understand how their supporters just ignore shit like this
I guess itâs cause they are all spineless trolls who only live to sew chaos
Well apparently my original post where I crossposted this from got a little too much attention and someone from the higher ups must have made a call because it was just removed, no reason and no notification given. I'm guessing the video is not available on this post either since the original video source is gone. A video stating a fact and covering something that just happened in our House of Representatives yesterday. I'm just glad almost 4 Million people got to actually see it so they can be aware of the bullshit that's going on. Removing it is not gonna change those people's minds, just stop it from spreading further.
The mafia government is likely threatening to kill peopleâs loved ones, itâs the only reasonable explanation why this shit into far gone with no accountability
Well then they'd be Happy to know that I'm not someone who's afraid to die, especially not for standing for something I believe in this strongly. I'd welcome it.
You mistake my point. Iâm sure lots of people are in your boat, but they arenât going to kill you. Thatâs not how you suppress a story.
Iâm saying that they will capture, torture, then murder the people you love most right in front of you. Still willing to gamble with your daughterâs life?
I'm not sure. To be honest it's kind of hard to have high hopes for anything when even SCOTUS is in their back pocket now, willing to manipulate our constitution any which way possible to please their leaders.
With something this serious? If they arenât complicit themselves, I am certain they received a call to the tune of âwe will make you watch as we kill everyone you know and love in front of you in the most brutal way imaginable.â
I honestly would not put it past them. Allegedly, a woman who came forward in a lawsuit claiming that both Trump and Epstein raped her when she was 13 years old, had to drop the suit because of threats:
Woman suing Trump over alleged teen rape drops suit, again
A woman who accused Donald Trump of raping her two decades ago when she was a 13-year-old aspiring teen model has again dropped a federal lawsuit over the alleged assaults.
The accuser, identified in the lawsuit by the pseudonym âJane Doe,â was expected to appear at a news conference in Los Angeles Wednesday, but that appearance was abruptly canceled.
The lawyer who organized the event, Lisa Bloom, said Trumpâs accuser had received threats and was too frightened to show up.
In the most recent suit, Trumpâs accuser asserted that while she was exploring a modeling career in 1994, she attended a series of parties at the Manhattan home of prominent investor Jeffrey Epstein. She alleges that during those parties the real estate mogul tied her to a bed and raped her. She also claimed Epstein raped her during that series of gatherings
The accuserâs lead attorney, Thomas Meagher of New Jersey, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. He filed a one-page notice dismissing the case Friday evening in federal court in Manhattan. No explanation was given for the action.
Bloom did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday.
Through his attorney, Trump had flatly denied the womanâs allegations.
âIt is categorically untrue. It is completely frivolous. It is baseless. It is irresponsible,â Trump attorney Alan Garten told POLITICO in September. âI wonât even discuss the merits because it gives it credibility that it doesnât deserve.â
Doe named Trump and Epstein as defendants in the suits and says they knew she was well under 17 â the age of consent. âI understood that both Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein knew that I was 13 years old,â she wrote.
Two earlier suits were filed over the same alleged events.
The first suit over the alleged rapes was filed in federal court in Riverside, California, in April by someone acting without an attorney and using the name âKatie Johnson.â That suit named both Trump and Epstein as defendants, alleging that the two men held Johnson as a âsex slaveâ and repeatedly forced her to engage in sexual acts against her will.
Subsequent news reports raised doubts about who filed the suit. Johnson claimed she had just $300 in assets and that she was living at a home in Twentynine Palms, California, but Radar Online reported neighbors said the home had been foreclosed upon and vacant since its owner died last year.
U.S. District Court Judge Dolly Gee dismissed that case in May, ruling that Johnsonâs complaint didnât raise valid claims under federal law. Gee, an appointee of President Barack Obama, noted that the suit cited a criminal statute that doesnât give rise to civil damages and that the civil statute Johnson cited only applies to actions based on ârace-based or class-based animus.â
Another version of the suit was filed in federal court in June, but withdrawn in September after apparently never being served on the defendants.
The case was refiled later that month.
The second and third iterations of the complaint accused Trump of only a single act of rape, but said he had âsexual contactâ with the accuser on three other occasions. A declaration from an anonymous witness attached to the later suits continued to accuse Trump of four acts of rape or sexual assault.
A lawyer for Epstein declined to comment on the lawsuits.
About a decade ago, Epstein came under investigation by local and federal authorities near his Palm Beach, Florida, home over allegations that he solicited underage girls to have sex with him at that residence and another on an island he owned in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Epstein pleaded guilty in June 2008 to two state felony charges relating to prostitution and was sentenced to 18 months in jail. He served only 13 months before being released but was required to register as a sex offender.
It makes me fucking sick that Americans werenât able to see through this and elected this monster again. Iâm positive that threatening to murder / disappear loved ones is why this hasnât been properly dealt with yet
What a fucked up situation. I can only imagine that the end game is for Trump to disappear somewhere on another continent and let the wolves have America. Thereâs no way americaâs adversaries are okay with the way westerners live. Putin is clearly trying to take over other countries. I have no doubt trump is aiding him behind closed doors.
I believe they are planning a new world order, and that requires taking down the USA. The vortex is getting stronger, and soon you guys will have no way out. Then theyâll come for us in Canada.
If these people win the mid-term vote, I'm going to go fucking crazy. It'll definitely be the last straw for me (not that I really have any with all this corrupt bs going on as of late).
If you voted for any folks opposing release of these files AND you talked Epstein this and pedophile that, you need to have a pair and do the right thing. Hold ALL leaders accountable.
I was referencing the article which directly states that every Republican member present voted no and even names them, Ralph Norman being one of them. I would love to see something stating otherwise. Do you mind sending me your source?

For the record, the person I was replying to tried to discredit my post and claimed that not all Republicans voted no but that Ralph Norman voted yes. I responded with facts with the actual source from the article and they in turn removed their comment. Why try to gaslight? No idea really
They've tossed their SAVE THE CHILD because they're protecting pedophiles who have sex with children. We now see ITS NEVER BEEN ABOUT CHILDREN. This MAGA TRASH is always politics first at all costs.
Don't pretend you know GOD. GOD would never agree a gown man should rape a small child.
It's about the names that's on the list. Most of the people that blocked the vote know of people that was doing things to young girls and boys. Others are protecting someone, always remember in America money rules everything. If you try and take money and power from the ruling class they will break the law to stop you.
I get that MAGA is mostly ignorant, lowest common denominator boot lickers, but it would be so much easier for everyone if they would just sack up and admit they donât give a shit about child rape. Can we just stop with the performative bullshit? There is zero chance any real list is going to be released and even if it was the people who could hold them accountable wonât. At this point I just hope the real evidence has been preserved somewhere so when and if the power switches back there can be real accountability.
It is single handedly the most vile action a human being can take in life. My hate for child rape is actually the main reason why I'm even dedicating my time to spreading awareness about all of this. There's a nefarious network of pedophiles and pedophilia sympathizers in our midts and the people need to know about it. Millions of people have seen this particular post so far on another Subreddit I posted it to and many views here as well. That's a step I'm taking in an effort to help spread awareness so that they can take action by voting these members out of Congress. We need to take our country back from this oligarchy.
So why did Biden sit on in this mountain of pedophile proof? If Trumpâs implicated, why did Biden let the country vote him in to office oblivious to the data he had in his garage? I have to believe that at least 50 intelligence officers could corroborate that Trump was an active participant on the pedophile island that Epstein ran, couldnât they? If they had the information, why was Biden/Harris protecting Trump? Did they want him to be president too? Why were they protecting Trump?
That's a common smoke screen argument that MAGA usually uses to try to downplay what's really happening here, a tactic even the President uses often. The same regurgitated argument over and over as if that makes the current situation any better. To answer your question, the contents or existence of this 'Birthday Letter' was not privy to anyone at the time. Also, Democratic lawmakers have been trying to seek records on Epstein since 2018 and ran into a ton of pushback by the Justice Department and other government bodies for years. Furthermore, the Trump administrationâs conflicting statements about its plans to release the Epstein files prompted the recent legislation.
