BREAKING: MAGA Mike Johnson Just Protected Trump From the Epstein Files—and Shut Down Congress to Do It

Speaker Johnson just cancelled your democracy to “give Trump space.” What the hell is Congress even for anymore?

July 22, 2025

The Speaker of the House, MAGA Mike Johnson, a born-again evangelical extremist who shares a porn app with his adopted teenage son, just took a torch to government oversight, because Donald Trump didn’t want anyone talking about Jeffrey Epstein.

It also means there will be no vote on Russian Sanctions, which is a real two-for-one for the Russian compromised pedophile protecting President.

Yep. Mike Johnson, Christian nationalist and full-time MAGA mascot, just refused to bring any Epstein-related votes to the House floor before Congress and the Senate head off for summer vacation. Like it’s some kind of after-school activity, and the grown-ups need rest from… doing nothing.

This isn’t even satire. It’s a real quote:

“We’ve got to give the administration space.”
— MAGA Mike Johnson, Human Smoke Machine

The Coverup Is the Point

Just days ago, a bipartisan coalition led by Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) introduced a discharge petition to force a vote on the full release of the Epstein Files. Shockingly, 11 House Republicans joined—including Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, and Matt Gaetz, who knows a thing or two about sex trafficking allegations.

But when the motion gained steam—and 89% of Americans told CBS they support full release of the Epstein files—what did Speaker Johnson do?

He canceled all floor activity and put the House into what can only be described as a protective Epstein blackout, shielding Trump from more headlines as the drip-drip-drip of revelations about his ties to Epstein turns into a damn firehose.

“No Floor Action” = No Accountability

Here’s what Johnson just killed:

• A nonbinding vote for full transparency on Epstein docs.

• The chance to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell.

• A rare moment of bipartisan agreement demanding justice.

• Any pretense that House Republicans care about child sex trafficking unless it’s in a QAnon meme.

And why? Because Donald Trump is unraveling, and Johnson’s job is to shield him like a human cone of silence.

MAGA’s Hypocrisy Is Imploding

You’d think the MAGA base would be thrilled. But guess what? They’re pissed.

Marjorie Taylor Greene called Johnson’s move a betrayal. Massie and Boebert are openly accusing GOP leadership of protecting pedophiles. One Republican insider told CNN the House is “eating itself.”

And for once, they’re not wrong.

“Dangling bits of red meat no longer satisfies.”
— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, suddenly honest

Time: “House Republicans break with leadership over Epstein files”

Even the lunatics in the clown car want answers. And Mike Johnson just lit the map on fire.

Congress Goes on Vacation. The Rot Remains Behind, Elite Pedophiles Laugh.

This isn’t just political cowardice—it’s strategic corruption. With Trump facing increasing pressure from newly uncovered Epstein files (including that $1.5 billion in Russian money flowing through JPMorgan), the last thing his team wants is another televised floor vote revealing who protected whom.

So Johnson tanked the entire chamber, packed his bags, and called it a day.

Your tax dollars are paying Mike Johnson to cover up for Trump and Epstein.

And here’s where it goes full insult to your intelligence.

Instead of voting to release the Epstein files—or, you know, subpoenaing Ghislaine Maxwell and dragging her in front of Congress immediately—the Trump Regime announced it plans to “schedule a meeting” with her.

That’s right. A private meeting. No cameras. No oversight. No records. No accountability.

President Trump even said it “sounds appropriate” when asked if the DOJ should meet with Maxwell behind closed doors:

“I don’t know about it, but I think it’s something that would be, sounds appropriate,”
— Donald Trump, current fugitive from accountability

His new Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche—yes, the same Todd Blanche who’s been running Trump’s legal interference strategy since the Stormy Daniels trial—says the Justice Department will “meet” with Maxwell soon. Not subpoena. Not indict. Not hold accountable.

Meet. Like it’s a coffee date.

Let’s be blunt: this is a stalling tactic.

A red herring, meant to delay the inevitable, buy time, and let the Trump regime do what it’s best at:

• Scrubbing evidence

• Discrediting documents

• Or worse—manufacturing a false flag or doctored file to discredit the Epstein archive entirely

All while protecting Trump and hundreds of other high-profile pedophiles buried inside those sealed records.
