What You Are Witnessing In Congress Is A New Epstein Files Cover-Up

Republicans in Congress no longer standing in the way of the bill to release the Epstein files suggests that what we are watching isn't justice for the victims, but a Trump DOJ cover-up unfolding.

As I wrote earlier today, the fix seems to be in among Republicans on the Epstein files bill.

Since then, the House voted to pass the legislation by a very strange vote of 427-1. If that wasn’t a warning sign that something odd was happening, what happened next in the Senate should be raising red flags everywhere.

The Senate Press Gallery posted on X:

Minority Leader Schumer received consent that when received from the house, H.R. 4405 - Epstein Files Transparency Act, will be passed by the Senate.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) confirmed on X:

News from senate floor: Schumer just asked for unanimous consent to pass Epstein file bill which overwhelmingly passed House. No objection! So long as Johnson sends it over to Senate it is done and on to White House. On to you Trump and DOJ.

This is not how the government has operated under Donald Trump’s presidency ever, so before anyone celebrates the release of any files, it would be wise to take all of this with a grain of salt, because the behavior of Republicans in Congress made it obvious that the files are not going to be released.

When Trump changed his position on the files, he did so because he wanted political cover and to make sure that the complete files never became public, so what is going to happen next?
