Why does there have to be a congressional vote to release Epstein files?

If Massie has them, why can't he just turn over everything to all the media outlets and let them do what they want? Why does Congress have to be involved in releasing information about a prostituion ring?

More importantly, why does Congress even play a role in this at all. It’s not their files - it’s the police and FBI and the courts.

I agree there are a lot of these threads, and this is my last. I didn't realize this question has been asked. I've asked 5-6 times over the last few months and have never got a reply.

Those files were released though, there just wasn't anything "important" in them.

Yeah…that’s even worse and that was supposed to be phase 1 of several, the rest got shut down.

“This Department of Justice is following through on President Trump’s commitment to transparency and lifting the veil on the disgusting actions of Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “The first phase of files released today sheds light on Epstein’s extensive network and begins to provide the public with long overdue accountability.”

While POTUS can declassify pretty autonomously, I can understand why the legislature would require a vote. Otherwise anyone with access could release whatever they wanted and it could be a disaster.

Because it's not really about a "prostitution ring". If you want to understand the bigger picture, watch the video below and do some due diligence.
Don't depend on what some of these simpletons around here tell you. Look for yourself.

Is that your excuse for your peedo protector?
Posted on 11/16/25 at 2:40 pm to Mushroom1968
Agreed
It’s very swampy that this has to be so complicated

Because the police, FBI, and the courts will not release them on their own. Congress is going to have to force them too. I'm not sure what the house is even bothering with because unless there is a process I'm not aware of the senate would have to vote on the resolution and Trump would then have to sign it to a law forcing their release.
The house can certainly vote on sending a strongly worded letter though.

I ain't watching an hour plus video. How about you provide a synopsis of the highlights.

Another heavy-breathing Epstein thread from the groomer.

So, what happens if Massie right now went and gave all documents to the media? Does he get punished, prison, fined, or nothing?

Nope, unless it were an unauthorized disclosure of classified material, which obviously this isn’t that kind of situation, then no, nothing whatsoever is stopping him. In fact, as a member of Congress he even retains some extra layers of protection from personal liability for, say, libel or slander, which the rest of us wouldn’t have. Even more of a reason why he should by all means announce what he knows.

Symbolic. There vote is opinion. Sealed records are SEALED. Until the Judge unsealed them.
