INSIDE JOHNSON'S EPSTEIN MESS
THE HOUSE FLOOR is frozen because House Republicans are rebelling against @SpeakerJohnson strategy for dealing with the EPSTEIN FILES.
The HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE is supposed to hold the line for the leadership and vote down any Democratic amendments.
But they are unwilling to kill Epstein amendments, which means Johnson's leadership team cannot bring anything to the floor.
JOHNSON tried to push a non-binding resolution, but declined to bring it to the floor.
JOHNSON is caught between a House Republican Conference that is wary about voting against Epstein related measures and a president who wants nothing to do with revisiting the sordid episode.
Massie discharge petition will ripen in Sept. So the W.H./DOJ have some time to try to quell Rs concerns.
Meanwhile, this week has largely turned into a waste. Rs will only be able to bring bipartisan, non-controversial bills to the House floor.
