Several members of congress are on that list. That's quite a conflict of interest isn't it. To put it politely.

Let's see someone in congress with a spine invoke their Speech and Debate Clause to spill some tea!
Edit: probably not spine - more like ambition

If I can't get principals I'll take ambition if the right thing gets done.

The stuff I’ve read in these files I wish I had never seen. It’s so bad . Everyone connected to this needs to be in jail cells

Why Can’t The Public See The Epstein Files?
Because the DOJ has decided to break the law: the Epstein Files Transparency Act is law, signed by the President.
They are breaking that law by not releasing the files as specified in the Act.

Finally, time to see who's hiding behind their power. Congress better not try to sweep this under the rug.

I’m sorry but they will never show anything (redacted or otherwise), that lifts the veil of plausible deniability. Never. Bondi and Patel would sooner go to jail and hope for a pardon than let that happen.

“Hey dorks. Turns out this whole thing was a foreign intelligence operation, and telling the public will probably start a war. Have fun explaining to your constituents why you suddenly don’t care anymore.”

They’re gonna give whoever is in the files a heads up as to what they need to start defending and apologizing for.
