“We’re going to review and we’ll work as quickly as we can. This is sensitive information,” Comer said. “We want to make sure we don’t do anything to harm or jeopardize any victims that were involved in this. But we’re going to be transparent and we’re doing what we said we would do.”

The incoming documents are part of a yearslong effort by lawmakers from both parties to obtain information tied to Epstein, a financier with political and social connections to public figures including Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.

These are the files from Pam’s desk?
The ones that don’t exist?
They’re ready to hand over the stuff that they don’t have?
Well, I hope the House Oversight Committee can make good use of them.

“””wake me when someone goes to jail for anything”””

Epstein is dead.
Maxwell is in prison for 20 years.

Since this case is from 15-20 years ago who do you think they could charge with something?

This is not about justice. This is about finding info that can be twisted to hurt Republicans.

Wake me up when ANY woman - besides Virginia Giuffre - claims she had under age sex on Pedo Island or the Epstein jet.

Giuffre claimed under age sex - one time - with Prince Andrew on Pedo Island. Giuffre never claimed under age sex on the Epstein jet.

Don’t you think that would already have been done if it could be done?

Prince Andrew, presidents Clinton and anyone else named. Just a start. Child rape should be bipartisan.

If nobody cared about Jeffrey Epstein files when he was alive why care about it now.

Sounds like a whine mob misses the National Enquirer.

Hopefully there is none for child rape. Good grief. Why even hope that?
