An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.

So, just so everyone understands: the Epstein Files Transparency Act that's being voted on today allows for NO redaction of the names of people mentioned in the files, other than victims.

That's what he's mad about. He wants perps and associates of Epstein to be protected.
Mike Johnson expresses concern that requiring the Epstein files to come out "could ruin the reputations of completely innocent people, such as those who may just have known Epstein but knew nothing of his crimes or whose names he exploited and used to try to get close to his intended victims."
