https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/457586-gop-senators-call-for-barr-to-release-full-results-of-epstein-investigationRepublican Sens. Ron Johnson (Wis.) and Chuck Grassley (Iowa) on Thursday called on Attorney General William Barr to make public the results of the Department of Justices (DOJ) investigation into Jeffrey Epsteins death public.
Barr announced Saturday that he had directed the FBI and the DOJ inspector general to investigate Epsteins apparent suicide at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Manhattan over the weekend, which came while he awaited trial on sex trafficking and abuse charges.
We fully support your call for a thorough investigation of the circumstances surrounding Mr. Epsteins death. True accountability, however, especially for the victims of Mr. Epstein, requires full transparency, Johnson and Grassley wrote in a letter to the attorney general.
For that reason, we ask for your commitment to make the results of the FBI and IG investigations public as soon as they are completed, they added, also requesting the DOJ keep them appraised of any progress the investigation makes along the way.

(26,756 posts)Either it's legitimately true that nothing untoward happened (other than bad prison management that goes back decades)... in which case there's no reason not to release the investigation.
OR he has something to hide... in which case the "investigation" is a necessary part of the cover-up and again he would want to release it.

(24,435 posts)Wonder if Johnson and Grassley want to make sure that they're not on Epstein's records?

(11,885 posts)For failing to protect this high level prisoner, and for his lying? He has shown again he can't be trusted, and is involved with Epstein, and he should have remained recused. They should find out the ties his dad ,and he had with Epstein. He's making a mockery of the justice department while Congress does nothing to him for it.
