We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

Pam Bondi subpoenaed by US House in Jeffrey Epstein investigation (www.theguardian.com)

Five Republicans on the House oversight committee joined with Democrats to subpoena the US attorney general, Pam Bondi, as part of the ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

The House oversight committee voted 24-19 to approve a motion introduced by Republican representative Nancy Mace to compel Bondi to testify. In addition to Mace, Republican representatives Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Michael Cloud of Texas, and Scott Perry of Pennsylvania voted for the motion.

The motion comes amid growing criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle of the Department of Justice’s failures regarding the Epstein files, including accidentally releasing the names of survivors and redacting, without explanation, the names of people who may have committed crimes.

I don’t think Republican congresscritters are suddenly growing a spine or developing a conscience – I think they’re concerned about the midterms.

Absolutely. I hope I didn't convey that I think they're doing it out of conscience. I think they're doing it because they know they are fucking LOATHED, and some of them may even be starting to understand the changing proximity of pitchforks.

There is no doubt whatsoever they'd be shoving this back in the congressional closets if they could.
