Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Tx), who declared just days ago he was voting against compelling the Trump administration to release the Epstein files, has had a change of heart.

On Friday, Nehls posted to social media, “I’ll be voting NO on the Epstein Hoax.” “The Democrats are using the Epstein Hoax to distract us from the winning of President Trump and his administration,” Nehls continued, adding:

My message to my Republican colleagues: Don’t let this noise keep us from delivering on the mandate the American people gave us. President Trump—I stand by you in the fight to save America. I’m not going to let this hoax, manufactured by Democrats, slow us down.

Over the weekend, however, Nehls changed his mind on the issue — as did President Donald Trump. The New York Times’s Annie Karni revealed how she got the news. “In a text message on Monday, Nehls said he would now vote to release the Epstein files, given that the president himself has urged Republicans to do so,” Karni wrote. “Nehls was viewed as potentially the sole Republican holdout to what is shaping up to be a possible unanimous vote to compel the Justice Department to release the files.”

Like zombies playing "Simon Says".

1. Sycophants and scoundrels, the lot of them

Now that they've been signaled to that Bondi can choose to withhold anything she wants, cause of the "ongoing investigation" , they all get to line up and pretend like they've had some change of conscience and are "doing the right thing".

Such a load of shit. What they SHOULD be voting for is his fucking IMPEACHMENT for so blatantly corrupting the DoJ, and even TRYING to withhold these files when his name is known to be all over them

If they do THAT, they'll mildly impress me.

But this? PFFFFT. Transparent AF.

2. Lap Dogs All.

3. they're so fucking transparent and disgusting

allow me to join you

4. It's so obvious that he's going to try to gag the information by starting an investigation

against the Democrats. And the Dems better be prepared with a rebuttal. I'm thinking a court case that puts a blaring light on the fact that the Oval Office has a major conflict of interest.

7. Ultimately it will come out.

All that Trump and his goons will be able to do is delay the inevitable. The dam has broken, and they can not really stop it. It's coming not only from the DOJ but also from the Epstein estate. I suspect many victims and former prosecutors and lawyers privy to the information will come forward if Trump attempts to bury the whole thing.
He is cooked. He is just buying time.

5. trumps way of allowing all the gop to vote FOR the release to save all their asses..

from a midterm slaughter...knowing FULL WELL he wont release shit.

6. TSF will be redacted before the release

Asking with every other friend of the GOP.

There will be no more truth in this release than you find in anything the Senile Pedofile says.

8. Hard No

Nehls trump butt kisser will vote yes

[MaineBlueBear]

9. Trump gave the green light for the flip-flop

The files have been scrubbed.

10. Their plan is to vote yes, because they KNOW they are protected in November.

Now maybe the proof of their bullshit could come if a vote is taken on IMPEACHING Bondi? If they vote against that, we're right back to NOVEMBER blue Tsunami.
