The article leaves out that Republican subcommittee chairman, Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana put the committee into recess after a vote was proposed so he could try and kill it. Then after they did vote, he lied and said the vote failed. Congressman Garcia had to ask for a roll call vote to verify that it really passed.

Need a bingo card collecting all the names to see if they're on the list or just a regular supporter of pedophila and sex-traficking.

Isn't it going to be easy for them to scrub the files before releasing them? I'm not sure why they haven't done that already.

The expectation is that it will be obvious that they will have been scrubbed.

At this point, releasing a redacted set might actually be worse for them than just releasing the whole thing.

Okay, so since I’m being cynical…. Yes we may have eliminated Epstein and his ring, but most all of the high profile pedos remain. So that begs the question: did they truly stop their devious behavior or just move on somewhere else.

My guess is the latter, and if so… where?

They killed the man, but the island remains... right?

We’ll always have the memories of those dumb idiots proudly posing with their binders full of already released bullshit. “They picked me! I’m special! I’ve got the goods!”

This images will never go away, you gullible dumbasses.
