Mike Johnson pans discharge petition from Massie and Khanna
Another red flag: Johnson told Welker the bill doesn't include 'adequate protections' for Epstein's victims. 'These are minors in many cases who were subjected to unspeakable crimes, abject evil,' Johnson said. 'They've already suffered great harm. We do not need their names being unmasked. The Massie and the Khanna discharge petition does not have adequate protections.' Congressional Republicans have spent the last few weeks grappling with the fallout of the Trump administration's handling of its Epstein investigation. Many of their core supporters are in uproar. And recent pronouncements from the president that the controversy is a hoax perpetrated by 'Radical Left Democrats' have only increased the din. But Johnson insisted the legislative effort from the two lawmakers was not why he adjourned the House a day earlier than planned. Instead, he said the maneuver was necessary because of Democrats seeking to force Epstein votes in the House Rules Committee. 'So what we did do this week is end the chaos in the rules committee because the Democrats are trying to use this in a shameless manner for political purposes, quite obviously,' Johnson said. 'They hijacked the rules committee. And they tried to turn it into an Epstein hearing. That's not what the rules committee is about. So that's why the floor vote ended on Wednesday instead of Thursday.'

Colorado lawmaker says Gabbard has become ‘weapon of mass destruction' for Trump
'There have been four investigations including a bipartisan Senate investigation led under the first Trump administration in part by Marco Rubio that is very clear on these findings,' he said, referencing Trump's secretary of state. 'These have been investigated and reinvestigated and reinvestigated and nothing has changed up until this past month.' Last week, Gabbard claimed newly declassified documents revealed 'irrefutable evidence' that Obama and his national security team created an intelligence community assessment 'that they knew was false' about Russian intervention in the 2016 presidential election. She and Trump said Obama's actions could amount to treason. All sides concede that Russia sought to undermine the election and that Vladimir Putin's government did not succeed in altering vote totals or actual results. The unresolved issue surrounds the question of whether an Obama administration report ignored contrary evidence in offering an intelligence assessment that the Russians preferred that Donald Trump win; Crow claimed that the conclusion was reasonable within the normal give-and-take of intelligence work. Obama officials have labeled the Gabbard claims of treason 'ridiculous,' while Democrats in Congress have accused the administration of trying to distract from the ongoing frustration around the withholding of information regarding the disgraced financier and convicted sexual offender Jeffrey Epstein. 'Let's be really clear again about what's happening here. This is being reinvigorated and concocted because Donald Trump doesn't want to talk about the Epstein files,' Crow said Sunday. Republicans have denied the accusations, instead calling for a full investigation into Obama and the intelligence community leaders under him. Rep. Rick Crawford (R-Ark.), who spoke to Bream on Sunday shortly after Crow, said the information Gabbard released had been hidden from Republicans for years.
