Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): delivered. same_term

Massie made a specific conditional promise to circulate a discharge petition if the House did not consider the Epstein Files Transparency Act II within seven legislative days. The later evidence says Massie launched a second discharge petition tied to that measure after the bill had not advanced, which is the promised procedural action. Because he took the action himself while still serving in the same House term, this counts as delivered in the same_term timing. effort_badge is false because the outcome was delivered rather than merely attempted unsuccessfully.
