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.
It’s performative? So it won’t actually cause the “subpoena ALL the Jeffrey Epstein files” as the post says? My point is it’s just a little hard to see what the vote actually does from the context given, although I don’t doubt there will be political fallout from it.
