Speaker #MikeJohnson said he would shut down the #House until September in order to head off #Democratic demands for votes calling for the release of files from the investigation into #JeffreyEpstein, the disgraced financier & sex offender who was once friends with #Trump. Johnson said votes would end Wednesday night in what he called an effort to avoid “political games” related to the #DOJ’s [mis]handling of the files.

Reminds me of another Johnson, Doris Johnson, the former British Prime Minister who shut down parliament in 2019 so nothing could be debated. This was overturned in the courts and MPs had to rush back to parliament. I was at Labour Conference in Brighton and our leader had to make his speech a day earlier so he could head back to parliament the next morning.

‘Nothing to see here’…Mike Johnson by stating his desire to shut down the House till September has just told the whole world that #Trump is up to his eyeballs in #Epstein sleaze, corruption and possible criminality.
