It should easily pass, though it may be a damned if you do, damned if you don't vote for Republicans. It will be interesting to see if Trump can influence most of them.

In some ways, taking the vote is the important thing - especially as it will be tough to override Trump's veto.

However, the effort is likely why the Democrats put out 3 emails. The Republican response to dump 10s of thousands will likely backfire. (Oddly the Republicans forget that in a gesture to transparency, Clinton asked the State Department to process for redactions and put all her emails online. This was done in monthly tranches and led to the email story resurfacing every month. This is one dump, but I would bet we will see a long series of Epstein articles. )
