For those interested, here's a summary of what Epstein Files Transparency Act II will do:

I’m not 100% sure, but hadn’t all of these names been released already?

I also believe Congress has been given permission to view all unredacted “Epstein file” information.

Also I thought you and Massie both were bragging you shut down Congress because of this bill?


In Ivory Bill Matt’s defense, … shutting down Congress would likely have little impact ….. after all, they do so little that resembles honest work.

I think 3 or 4 were new.

About 3 million files have yet to be released...so no, Congress has not been "given permission" to view all unredacted files.

The portion that has been made available is a pain to review. Members, not staff, have to go to a remote location to view the files at one of three (?) terminals.

There are all sorts of allegations of crimes...including murder on Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. As to evidence, that's the whole point of the legislation. Is there evidence contained in the Epstein files that would warrant further investigations?

In July 2025, DOJ released a memo saying that there was nothing left to investigate---that Maxwell and Epstein were the only perps involved in trafficking girls and women to one person...Epstein. The Transparency laws are to test the truth of that statement.

I suspect the voting will go like Epstein Files Transparency Act I.


What is different about the second bill? What’s in it that wasn’t in the first one?

Massie said he has them and would release all the names. Was he lying?

Imagine being a MAGA supporter and trying to defend not releasing the Epstein files in their entirety. Then, attacking and primarying the dude that is pushing for the release. Peak absurdity.


You can’t think of any reason? False accusations made by loons and the liability that comes with that? Investigations need to occur but a full release is irresponsible and could ruin innocent people’s live. And the pushing for the return lied about releasing the names himself. Clearly he doesn’t want that liability either. He is a grifter. Evidenced by the fact you far left wackos love him.

Probably the most important additions are the enforcement provisions. Here's a good summary of the second bill:

4 years under Biden, not a single thing released.

Millions of docs released under Trump, but it's somehow all on him?

Trump wasn't President when Epstein got a sweetheart deal the 1st time he was arrested, back in 2006. If anything, he helped get him arrested.


Seriously, this mania needs to end.

I still get up every morning wondering why Obama or Biden did not ever use Epstein information, that they could have easily obtained or might have held, against those Republicans.

I may have to get professional help.
