Washington — Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, filed a discharge petition on Tuesday to attempt to force a House vote on compelling the release of files related to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, resurfacing the saga upon Congress’ return.

Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, introduced legislation in July that would require the Justice Department to release the Epstein files within 30 days. They planned to force a vote on the bill once lawmakers returned from their lengthy August recess.

      I applaud a full disclosure … but the republicans will never release untampered files that have trumps name in them.

      If they can find a way to omit trumps name and release that version while being very sure no other version is out there they might consider it.

      Perhaps that can be useful to “stop” the next elections by holding their version in the air and proclaiming: “see what evil the other party brought us with their pizza store den of depravity!”

      Ofcourse not even mentioning the other side will also thwart a complete release of the files. No matter how much the public clamoring for the papers.

      This will be this decades’ JFK Assasination files.
