Congress has the power to subpoena witnesses, hold public hearings, and establish an independent commission to review the Epstein files.
What remains unclear is whether lawmakers have the political will to use those tools.

Congress, it's time to start an independent commission to investigate and make sense of the Epstein Files.
The American public demands answers for everyone named in the files and accountability for the victims. It's time.
How deep does this go? Why won't the DOJ do their job? Investigate them.
it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

It’s time for the federal government to draw down their forces and let us get back to allowing freedom, opportunity, and security – for everyone.
there's a reason valid law enforcement agencies do an investigation each time an officer fires their weapon, and typically that investigation is handled by a higher agency if that shooting kills somebody... it's a bare minimum standard that at least assures the public there's some accountability

We good with that, America?
I thought we learned this lesson back in World War II, but I guess not.
Why do ICE agents carry guns?
Not one single report of them being shot at!!
Not one single story about apprehending anyone with a gun!!
Take the weapons away from the untrained, unrestrained, incompetent agents. Do it for public safety.
Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days.
End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.
Stephen Colbert: the message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city, obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.
Thank you to republican voters and lamme republican senators and congressmen. You have succeeded. You have placed a criminal in charge of the country and even though you know current events are wrong and unlawful - you keep quiet. That is so shameful.
