""totally absurd." "This has nothing to do with that. It's another red herring," adding, "I want every page of this out.""
""Why are we in recess? Because the day we go back into session, I have 218 votes for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files,""
""Johnson and the House Republicans care more about protecting the Epstein files than protecting the American people,""
""The House has so much work to do, why aren't we coming back in session?" "Not being in session certainly does avoid the Epstein discharge petition, which I've never understood why it's anything to hide. Aren't we all against convicted pedophiles and anyone who enables them?""
Johnson extended the House recess by another week partly to pressure Senate Democrats to accept a GOP stopgap funding bill. He rejected claims that he was keeping the House out to avoid a discharge petition, calling those claims "totally absurd" and insisting he wants all pages released. Democrats accused Johnson of protecting Epstein files and urged immediate swearing-in of Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, who would be the 218th signature on the petition. Massie posted that a return would produce the 218 votes to force a vote. Members have been sworn in during recess in prior cases.
