|
| Speaker Mike Johnson said he would shut the House down
| early for its summer recess to head off Democratic demands
| for votes on calling for the release of files from the
| investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier
| and sex offender who was once friends with Mr. Trump. In
| order to avoid what he called "political games," Mr.
| Johnson said the House would adjourn until September after
| votes scheduled for Wednesday night. The announcement came
| just after the House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena
| Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime partner of Mr. Epstein, for
| a deposition.

| Inside his cavernous office on Monday afternoon, Speaker
| Mike Johnson was facing a growing crisis. The House GOP
| conference, which included some of the Louisiana
| Republican's key allies, was in full rebellion over the
| spiraling Jeffrey Epstein situation.
| ...
| Hours later, Johnson and senior Republicans decided to shut
| down the Rules Committee altogether, which meant forgoing
| votes on two key immigration bills before lawmakers left
| for the month-long August recess.

And yet Trump tried to release the grand jury testimony and some
liberal judge blocked it.
Republicans blocking it...yeah...
The GOP's call to release GJ info was knowingly dishonest from the
start, for the very reason why the Judge disallowed it:
