It actually forces the house to act on trying to obtain the epstein files and informatiin through subpoenas, SSJVegeta Monday #11

It still doesn't "force" DOJ to release the files Fiendish Thingy Monday #15

Sure, but theres a lot that can be done already without the DOJ doing more SSJVegeta Monday #16

Yes, but many believe the mythology that the discharge petition will result in the release of the files. Nt Fiendish Thingy Monday #20
