Comey hearing just ended. Govt admits 2d indictment never shown to full grand jury. Judge concerned. AUSA also admits DAG Blanche’s office told him not to disclose if previous prosecutors prepared a declination memo (saying why there was no case).

Trump "encouraging" Congress to pass the discharge petition is all theater. Trump doesn't need Congress to release the Epstein Files. DOJ reports to HIM. And Pam will do as he commanded—not release the files, or at least any that are embarrassing to him.
