Reps John Garamendi and Adam Smith conveniently absent from DC while 216 of 218 members sign the Discharge Petition for Epstein Files Transparency Act II. Can't sign it remotely. Can't explain why they had to leave town today. Republicans, naturally, are showing up. Brian Fitzpatrick signed. So what's the excuse? Healthcare emergency? Family crisis? Or just a very convenient disappearing act when voting to expose something powerful people don't want exposed?
