My understanding of the 12th Amendment Trap is that is slow burning into 2028. But, to not seat #Representatives like happened with #Grijalva is an imminent threat.
The deal to end the government shutdown meant that Speaker #MikeJohnson (R-LA) could not put off swearing in #Grijalva any more, and Wednesday brought several news reports that the #8WhiteHouse had been putting intense pressure on several #HouseRepublicans www.mediaite.com/politics/gri...

Adelita #Grijalva on "The Briefing" last night:

"Republicans are coming up to me & saying: 'I'm not a #Democrat. I never voted for you. But what they are doing to you is wrong, and it makes me wonder *what else are they wrong about?'*" πŸ‘ˆ

Finally sworn in, Grijalva slams Johnson's 'abuse of power' for obstructing her

Rep. Adelita Grijalva, now official a member of Congress after waiting 50 days for Republican House Speaker to agree to swear her into office, talks with Jen Psaki about how Johnson's obstruction "has highlighted the corruption," and the need for a law that requires new members be seated promptly without relying on the good faith of the House speaker.

>> #Trump Ramps Up Pressure on #GOP to Thwart #Epstein Vote

>> #LaurenBoebert, one Republican pressing for more Epstein disclosures, was summoned for a meeting in the #WhiteHouse #SituationRoom.

More importantly, if #Boebert is successfully intimidated, then #Grijalva's vote will NO LONGER BE THE 218th VOTE needed to release all the #EpsteinFiles.

This is another way #Biden fucked us up by protecting Trump. #MerrickGarland could have easily and legally released but didn't
