Your own posted excerpt gave the reason.

The files left for the Trump admin are likely very problematic.

Whatever the purpose was in this latest Epstein BS was, distractions, encourager les autres, looks like it’s been achieved.

Until next time.

Without an audit, we don’t know how that vote went.

As for Mamdani’s supporters...

Oh, to be a fly on the wall when they discover neither NYC nor NYS can print money.

Democrats likely blocked the motion to maintain procedural control and avoid a rushed, potentially politicized release that could expose connections across parties, including their own donors or allies. Full transparency on Epstein’s files is essential for public trust, as sunlight reveals truths hidden in shadows. Past releases cleared Trump of direct involvement, so selective blocking raises valid questions about protecting the powerful elite.”

Has the bothered to pass the CR sent to them from the Senate, so it can go to the President? Likely no. They’re more interested in this crap.

Well, they want to keep this issue as a constant issue they can use against Trump. They already know he wasn’t involved himself with the girls or they would have used it to get rid of him.

Keeping people wondering if Trump was a bad guy works better for them and also protects themselves. They know who Trump is protecting and they know why.

There are many filthy RATs that were guests of Epstein and his Island.

More likely that Clinton was playing house at Epstein's...than President Trump.

Remember Monica was 22, Bubba was 49...looks like he liked them younger, too.

Democrats have consistently called for the release of Epstein files since 2019.
Their efforts have included formal requests, legislation, and public statements.
The push has intensified in 2025, with bipartisan support and legislative actions aimed at transparency.
Finally, a motion is brought to bring their release to a vote.
Democrats object.

Democrats certainly are funny ducks, I must say.

“... they ought to be ashamed of themselves...”

For some reason, people are always saying that about democrats and it puzzles me. Saying that is according democrats with some semblance of virtue in their mental make up. There is none there. They are probably baffled as to anyone who would be stupid enough to say that.

So if the Epstein files are so damned important , then so should the release of the politicians who were involved in the $18.2 MILLION payouts of the Congressional Slush Fund for #METOO CLAIMS.

AFTERALL, IT IS TAXPAYERS MONEY and the very idea it is a secret should infuriate every American.

Please tell me you aren't really so dumb that you can't figure it out for yourself.

The Dems want to ride into the midterms LYING by claiming that Trump is in the files, but once they win they can say “Oh did we say Trump is in the files, yeah our bad, he’s not, moving on” they dont want the files released because they know Trump is NOT in them, but they want their idiot base to believe he’s in them. Trust me, if Trump were even mentioned ONCE in those files Biden would have ordered them released the second after his disastrous debate Id put my entire life savings on that fact

“”””So this is not what I expected. What is the reason for the Democrats refusing to even vote?”””


You do realize that the role of Congress is to NEVER solve a problem, but, instead, its role is to keep problems festering for political gains.
