    They announced that they are investigating Democrats regarding Epstein.

    An investigation can prevent the release of the Epstein files, regardless of whether the president signed the bill or not.

      Yep, going to play this as “I was always for releasing them the whole time” but “oh no, the mean DoJ says no one can see anything right now”.

          In BOTH situations, he was legally capable of releasing either any time. He could have released taxes during the audit, he could have declassified Epstein files with a flick of the wrist.

            According to him he can declassify documents just by thinking about it. No wrist flicking required. Of course, that only applies to documents stored in the bathroom on his golf course.

      I’m okay with them just releasing the parts of the Epstein files that involve Republicans. I mean, I want the full files eventually, but I’m perfectly fine starting with the Republicans.
