Congress Votes to Hide Their Own Files

The House voted to punt a resolution Wednesday that would have released records from all House Ethics Committee investigations into sexual harassment and unwelcome sexual advances by members.

More

The motion passed 357-65, with 38 Republican and 27 Democrats voting "no." Rep. Brad Knott, a Republican from North Carolina and a member of the Ethics Committee, voted present.

The Ethics committee would have already investigated.

This was about releasing the Files.

Why is Congress trying to cover up their own crimes?

Does the Executive Branch get to see the unredacted Files in a secure room as a common courtesy in exchange for the Epstein File access?

Comments

65 members voted to release.

Why trust the Legislative branch with Epstein Files when they can't be trusted with releasing their own.

Would love to see all the redactions they would do!

Trump Justice Department aims to limit ethics probes into its lawyers
www.reuters.com

... The U.S. Justice Department is seeking to constrain ethics investigations conducted at the state level into alleged misconduct by its lawyers, according to a proposed rule submitted on Wednesday that would shield prosecutors pursuing President Donald Trump's agenda.

The proposal would give the U.S. attorney general the right to review misconduct allegations against current or former Justice Department attorneys and request that disciplinary authorities at the state level suspend their investigations. ...

BS, nothing but a deflection.

That's what gaslighters do.

Theres nothing about Trump in this topic of Congressmen voting to keep their sexual assault under wraps while US taxpayers pay for it.

Just another example of their hypocrisy.

In what way is it similar?
