The House speaker doesn’t want Republicans to be around when the deadline comes.
House Speaker Mike Johnson is conveniently sending Congress home the day before the Justice Department is supposed to release the Epstein files in full. The announcement came Wednesday night.
This looks like yet another instance of Johnson doing every little thing he can either to delay the release of the files or to make it so that his fellow GOPers don’t have to be in town to answer to their complicity in this monthslong campaign to avoid their release—as he did by egregiously delaying the swearing-in of Democratic Representative Adelita Grijalva for weeks.
“Like I said: view all political developments for the rest of the week in light of the fact that the Epstein Files are supposed to be released on Friday,” Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote Wednesday evening on X. “House Republicans just suddenly canceled Congressional session Friday and are sending everyone home Thursday evening.”
Wait, there’s a person named Noam Chomsky?
I’ve heard the name said on the news before but was never listening.
Isn’t that the name of the gnome in the carnival campaign of Left 4 Dead 2?
Yes, the person was named after the gnome.
Common misconception, the person was named after Nim Chimpsky, the famous chimpanzee from the Columbia a University ASL study.
Wrong, the name was from a popular cat story about Nom Chompsky.
