The GOP chair was caught off guard and scrambled—first delaying the vote, then trying to sabotage it by adding amendments to include Biden administration communications. Democrats called their bluff and agreed.

Then the GOP chair, Rep. Higgins, lied, claiming the motion FAILED until Rep. Robert Garcia forced a full roll call vote.

Ultimately, the vote passed 8-2 after 3 Republicans DEFIED their leadership and joined all 5 Democrats to pass the motion.

    creating the possibility that the evidence would be destroyed permanently

    This is sort of where I keep going back to in my mind. Like, I’ve seen things about supposed redacting or whatnot. So, like, what is there to be released if supporters of the Current Admins had them for so long?

    Some like original copy of something somewhere that somebody secreted away?

    And, how does something like that get proven to be…legitimate? Especially to a point of actionable repercussions?

    I honestly just don’t understand how this all works. Hoping for the damn best though.
