Schumer will push Senate to 'immediately' pass Epstein files bill

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) said Tuesday that he will request unanimous consent on the Senate floor to “immediately” pass a bill to direct the Department of Justice to publicly release all unclassified files related to Jeffrey Epstein after the House approves the legislation...

Schumer is expected to take to the Senate floor Tuesday afternoon to make his request.

“If Leader Thune tries to bury the bill, I’ll stop him,” he declared, referring to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), who hasn’t said whether he will bring the Epstein Files Transparency Act to the Senate floor this week or wait until after Thanksgiving.

Senate Republicans may try to add language to the bill to protect the identities of victims or third parties who are not accused of wrongdoing but whose names are nevertheless included in records and documents the Justice Department has acquired during its investigations of Epstein.

1. Schumer wants to release all "unclassified" files ... just what does that mean?

Maybe Chump can wave his magic wand and declare the Epstein documents are all "classified"?

Shee - it!?!

2. No idea. Didn't know there were any but court files.

3. Trump will classify all files that have names of Republicans

4. Probably.

We'll likely know who based on which Senators vote down the House bill, no matter what their "reasons."

12. No need. There's been plenty of time to have them cleaned of tRump's name (and others).

5. Won't be released

Due to the ongoing investigations ordered by Trump on Democrats. But I am sure Democrats names will be leaked.

CNN is reporting that Thune said the bill could pass the Senate by unanimous consent as early as today. If that happens, Trump will sign it to great fanfare, and then nothing will happen.

6. Yep. The coverup is the real crime. And by midterms, they'll likely all go down for it. Dems being investigated

will still fail to uphold the previous failed narrative about Dems being with Epstein.

Why will none of that will change voters' minds? Because the child trafficking pedophile coverup was the massive tell across both Houses. The victims have spoken, and at least half of Republican voters believe them.

7. Why is it this doesnt hearten me.

After the shutdown fiasco I feel like they're all just playing different roles in some over riding game, and its all performance art. I don't believe there are many Dems in the pedophile files but I do think there could be rich dems involved in financial aspects of the business. And I feel like an overwhelming number are just working to cover their own assessment as well as their donors. I wish quick discharge and release would prove me wrong but I'm losing my pollyanna outlook I'm afraid.

8. I feel the same.

None of us are naive about what all and who all the victims & we are up against, but I also hold that no matter how long this shitshow rolls on, no matter how much hush money is paid, the truth will come out. It's the way of humanity that the truth comes out. One example is that a prince just got un-princed.

9. Roll call only!!

Goddammit, Chuck -- we want a roll call vote! Every Senator should have to vote in the open on this one.

10. He can only ask. He's not Senate majority leader, right? You can't blame Schumer for what Thune decides.
