The ONE guy who voted against the release bill. I can't say he's wrong.

He says he's worried about the victims. Doesn't he appreciate that the most important victims of this whole debacle are Donald Trump and Andrew Windsor?

The bill's bipartisan authors – Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Kentucky, and Ro Khanna, D-California – have stressed that the legislation will not expose victims. It stipulates that the Justice Department is permitted to withhold certain information, such as personal details on victims and materials that would jeopardize any active federal investigations.
The Justice Department will not, however, be able to redact information due to "embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity."
Yeah right, my emphasis in bold. It may just explain Trump’s sudden change of heart and about face re the so-called Epstein File. Here’s an outline:

I can't understand how one man can stop your DoJ, Congress & Senate following legal process. The investigation and prosecution of criminal offences is surely separate from Presidential administration?

Usually yes. But Trump chose people loyal to him over country. More charitably, people who have been led to believe that his personal and political interests and the country’s interests are one in the same.

It’s largely a symptom of a feckless Congress. All recent presidents have pushed the envelope.

@AndyD said in The Epstein File:
So is Trump(CF) acting as a dictator?
Is he a dictator?Yeah as Jon said, he pushes the envelope. IMO as much as I think he's abhorrent on so many levels, he doesn't really get close to the dictator thing. Now, if he defied the judicial branch and told them "ok now enforce your ruling with no army" or began using the military for more than parades and raking mulch in DC, I could see the threat.

I'm glad he's as old as he is. If he was 20 years younger I think his behaviour would be a lot more concerning.
