'This is the story': White House's 'panicked behavior' flagged in new Epstein cover-up bid

People should be pressuring their own local representatives to make sure they ARE voting to release the Epstein Files.

    The discharge petition is just discharging a resolution that amends the Epstein stuff as a rider onto a regular bill.

    So even if everything passes the House, the Epstein provision still has to complete the rest of the Schoolhouse Rock process:

    • Pass in the Senate
    • Survive conference committee
    • Re-pass both chambers
    • Trump veto
    • Veto override on 2/3 votes in both chambers
