Yesterday the governmental affairs committee invoked the rarely utilized "rule of five" law, which in short, requires the justice department to turn over everything, everything, they have on the Epstein/Maxwell cases to Congress for review, with names and personal information of the victims redacted.
Doesn't mean it automatically will happen, the DOJ could try to block it and as is expected there will be some legal battles played out in the courts before it were to happen.
Question is....why would the DOJ block it, particularly with the order saying the names and personal information of the victims be redacted? And if they do.....well that would be very interesting. We shall see how the DOJ responds. As it stands they have until August 15 to comply, and have to August 25 to schedule a briefing to the committee by August 25.
