You either missed the part where I said this or you're ignoring it:

I'm all for replacing Schumer the right way. I’m not ok with Peter Thiel using the media to manipulate the public, and make us cheer while he installs his own Senate leader.

Sept 10: Dem Orders Congressional Probe Into Epstein and Peter Thiel’s Relationship

Sept 10: Schumer moves to force Senate vote on Epstein files

Sept 10: US Senate Republicans narrowly reject Schumer bid to force vote on Epstein files

Given this information, why do you think Peter Thiel could benefit from showing that he could successfully manipulate the press and the public to have Schumer suddenly removed right now, and install his own candidate to oversee the Senate? What's changed since now and September when Schumer tried to get those files released by the Senate, the same day news about Thiel, J.P. Morgan broke?

The investigation is being led by Democrats in the Senate, but Senate Republicans refused to vote to release them after House Republicans had already blocked the release for a second time earlier that same day.

Grijalva will be sworn in as the House’s newest member, paving the way for an Epstein files vote

It would be very unwise to let Thiel use his shadowy CIA strong arm bullshit, to successfully manipulate the public and intimidate the members of the House and Senate by removing Schumer just in time for those files to finally be released.
