General Discussion

If it is only the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition, then Trump likely survives to 2028 and the files will never come out.

If 50 or more Republicans vote for release, then things could move quickly. You know they are all comparing notes like high school girls talking about prom dates. "Are you voting for release? I will if you will."

A number like 50 might be enough to get the Senate on board. It would certainly pump up the pressure.

A number closer to 100 could make it almost impossible for Trump to veto it. He would probably flip to saying, "Of course we're releasing the files. Just as soon as we have a blue ribbon commission go over every document to make sure we are redacting every detail that could hurt anybody (especially me)."

Personally, I think it is most likely that it will be just the 4 (Massie, Greene, Mace, Boebert). I hope I am way off. The Trump from a year ago wouldn't have lost those 4, but certainly would not lose any more than 4. So this will be an excellent gauge of Trump's hold on the GOP.
