They don't care about the Epstein Files. They care that their constituents were mad they were complicit in the cover up. Now that they've publicly done something, they'll go right back to falling in line for Trump

MODERATORS
Hey now, that's really unfair to say they stopped caring.
That implies they cared to begin with.
Republicans: "We only care about the law if it involves attacking dark skinned people. Try someone else."
There must be in-groups that the law protects but doesn't bind, and out-groups that the law binds but doesn't protect.
And poors
They care deeply as a lot of them are in those files, the master tapes held by israeli intelligence.
That is why they are so israel first, rabidly attacking freedom of speech to shield Israel from the truth.
The baby raping is just the crown jewel in the blackmail coection you can be sure.
Do not let them fool you. Unless they can scrub names they will not release it, they have license to hide to protect victims and investigations, so we will not get much from these childfuckers.
"You get a girl! And you get a girl!" Something Oprahesque.
“I don’t give a rip about Epstein,” Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) said last week when she was asked to take stock of the month since the Dec. 19 deadline.. “I don’t give a rip about Epstein,” Rep.

Legislators: "What do you actually expect me to do? Legislate?"
Until enough voters come to understand that nearly the entire current crop of Congress folks, Justices, agency heads installed by either party all need to go in favor of something not even remotely distinguishable as Dem/Rep... We are all doomed.
Those that aren't pedos+owned are still owned by the rich. We need a fire sale for the whole lot of them.
Next thing we need to do is gradually close the door to imports and immigration. If something can be made here, with local labor, even if its more expensive it should be. Having the capacity to clothe, feed and provide for ourselves is fundamental to a healthy and functioning economy and society as a whole. Flooding the country with Chinese garbage and immigrant wage slaves(blue collar and knowledge workers) helps only the rich at the expense of actual citizens who have spent their lives paying into Social Security and other taxes to build/pay for their roads, schools, publicly funded hospitals/universities and everything else.
Since at least Clinton (NAFTA, admitting China to the WTO and also enacting H1B visa law) our economy has been steadily hollowed out. We have to stop the bleeding now and start to rebuild.
