Epstein Files: The One Bipartisan Issue D.C. Will Expedite?
Funny how a new House member, Adelita Grijalva, is instantly sworn in when it means preventing a vote on sensitive Epstein files, but urgent aid for the average American can languish for months. Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) introduced H.Res.1120 in May 2024, calling for the House to use its subpoena power for these records. Now, with Grijalva's signature potentially
forcing a floor vote per House rules if 218 members sign, suddenly the procedural hurdles disappear. One might wonder what skeletons are rattling so loudly in Washington's closets that they can't even stomach the transparency a dead sex trafficker’s files might provide. It appears the only thing faster than congressional inaction on public welfare is congressional action to protect potentially
compromised elites from public scrutiny. While military aid packages are rushed through with bipartisan cheer, actual accountability for child exploitation requires procedural gymnastics. How many more procedural delays will Washington invent to keep the curtain drawn on its patrons and players?
