In reply to the discussion: Boebert and Mace claim that they will not be removing their names from the discharge petition. [View all]SSJVegeta
(2,012 posts)37. I think thats different from what the discharge petition is doing.
Resolved, That the House of Representatives
(1) affirms its constitutional authority under Article I to conduct investigations, issue subpoenas, and expose criminal misconduct and institutional corruption;
(2) demands that the Trump Administration immediately release all unclassified files, flight logs, correspondence, and evidence pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and all known associates, with redactions only to protect the identities of minor victims and preserve ongoing prosecutions;
(3) calls upon the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and any relevant executive branch agency to submit a full report on any delays, suppression, or destruction of evidence related to Epsteins operations;
(4) urges the relevant House Committees to initiate formal investigations into any obstruction, suppression, or delay of the files' release; and
(5) supports full transparency and public access to these documents in the interest of justice, accountability, and the prevention of future abuses of power.

OP
Its probably because they realize that there is likely no way the files will be released anyway. n/t

Or the files have all been re-written to make Trump look like Mother Theresa.

OK. This explains why those files got released today. They came from the Epstein estate, NOT the DOJ
