One possible solution to the Epstein holdup

The only way that the Administration can get away with hiding the information from the American people is with the complicity of the law enforcement agents involvement.

I would recommend that Congress pass a law - 'The Trump Act' which states something like this:

After the passing of the Epstein Act and once it became law -
1. Any Government Official and/or Law Enforcement Agent that actively participated in the cover-up or hiding information related to Epstein files involving criminal activity or the hiding of criminal activity shall be terminated from Government (Federal or State) Employment combined with the loss of their pension. Said person shall never be empowered with a Law Enforcement Certificate from any Governmental Agency from that date forward.

2. In the event that any Person involved in item (1) receives a Presidential Pardon - they will still be subject to the actions listed in item (1).

3. Any Person that is instructed to participate in the hiding or cover-up of information related to the Epstein Files that might be considered criminal in nature - should immediately contact an appropriate State or Federal Inspector Generals Office for guidance on their legal responsibilities. Also that Person is obligated to inform the Office of the Congress that is responsible for Oversight. This is to ensure that the Person(s) is protected from the Penalties identified in item (1). The Person(s) will identify the date, time, authorizing Person that conveyed the action to hide the information from Oversight.

Not a legal person, but something like this might free up the flow of information. And for anyone thinking that this might be too harsh, this is basically the same type of penalty that is given to military members that commit a serious crime while in the military. Plus, when regular police officers commit crime(s) at the behest of their superiors - once it is discovered everyone involved is punished.

Just my thoughts.
