In session passing bad laws that Dems can't stop and all those idiot "investigations" into Obama and Biden and everything Democratic. Why would they investigate Epstein when there is so much that the Dems did that needs condemning

If the press does their jobs they don't need the files, they can dig up witnesses and stories on their own, and I don't know what stopped them to begin with.

I see this as a good thing. AOC shouldn't complain she can go out on more town halls and talk about epstein and policies.
