在DEMs 要求之下,至少在rules commitee 之内记名投票,只能开始rolls call。记录绝大多数GOPs 全都反对,全部4名DEMs McGovern等通过,GOP只有南加Ralph Norman 有血性没忘床破上台前炒作承诺闹剧,投了GOP里面唯一一个Yes.

全程录像在此。床粉怎么说?GOP清一色反对公开Epstein 文件卷宗,想都不想在rules commitee 这一层就打倒了任何公开的请求,根本不会进入议院投票和讨论。感想如何?说明了什么前景可能性?

更新!更新!!!
但是,今天DEMs 在被rules committee GOPs 打回之后,又推动了procedural vote,这次就连Ralph Norman 都叛变了,GOPs 全员坚决否定 the “previous question” vote, which hasn’t been won by the House minority since 1988, prevailed 211-210 on party lines. 除了几个GOPs 弃权,基本全员(不管再怎么高喊过 Epstein Files,可想而知GOPs 平常怎么哄MAGA 选民们的)坚定表示:不得公开文件。不需要保护和保存文件。要求行正透明的都是坏人。
The procedural maneuver, which would have triggered a vote on the amendment requiring Trump’s Justice Department to release the Epstein files within 30 days, was rejected yet again, with all 211 opposing votes coming from Republicans. Nine Republicans abstained from the vote.
The nine Republicans who chose not to vote were: Andy Ogles (TN), Michael McCaul (TX), Thomas Massie (KY), Barry Loudermilk (GA), Wesley Hunt (TX), Morgan Lutrell (TX), Mark Green (TN), Monica De La Cruz (TX), and Buddy Carter (GA).
Even Republicans who have been particularly vocal about the Epstein files, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, voted against allowing debate on the amendment.
Marc Veasey (Texas)单独提出了公开文件提案,避开procedual 程序。但是,Marc Veasey 的提案一个GOP co-sponsor 都拉不到,所有GOPs 对于公开文件坚决反对、深恶痛绝、选择性遗忘。这个non-procedral independent vote 根本没进入vote,就被所有共和党们无情击沉立毙。

当然DEMs 里面富人坏人也很多但良心未泯比例明显高得多,表示Democrats are already promising future votes: "That was probably not the last time that you're going to see us deal with this issue," House Rules Committee ranking member Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) told Axios.
