'The most important documents are missing', Ro Khanna says

“The most important documents are missing”, Ro Khanna, the Democratic congressman who co-authored the Epstein Files Transparency Act with Thomas Massie, a Republican, told CNN on Friday night.

“What we found out is the most important documents are missing,” Khanna said They’ve had excessive redactions and the central question that Americans want to know: who are the other rich and powerful men on the island, raping these young girls or covering up, has not been answered.”

Khanna confirmed that the release does not appear to include either of the two documents the survivors of Epstein’s abuse told lawmakers they want to see: a 60-count, federal indictment outlining charges against Epstein that was drawn up by a federal prosecutor in Florida in 2007, and a detailed memorandum summarizing the evidence she had assembled in support of the charges.

Two months after those charges were drawn up, the US attorney in Florida, Alex Acosta, instead offered Epstein an extraordinary deal: that he would not be prosecuted on federal charges if he agreed to plead guilty to lesser state charges, serve a minimum of two years’ incarceration, register as a sex offender, and make some financial amends.

Thank you for the heads-up, Uncle Joe! They can try to hide, but the truth will condemn them all.

is that most of those files are not released).

that time has come

i thought the women had compiled a list that was going to be read -- possibly by mtg. (didn't she say she would do it on the house floor, so it would go into the record and she would be immune from slander or something?)

how can she do it now if they are on break and when does the house come back and when is she outta there?
