"The premise that there is some document showing DJT committed a crime and Biden Admin didn't use it is preposterous."

Should we be shocked? Nah.
From Chat GPT...
Senate Republicans objected today to a non‑binding resolution proposed by Sen. Ruben Gallego (D‑Ariz.) that would have called on the DOJ to release “appropriate, non‑sensitive” materials related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R‑Okla.), a Senate Republican, objected to Gallego’s request for unanimous consent—effectively halting the measure before it could be brought to a vote yourNEWS+1AOL+1.
That objection illustrates Republican opposition to the effort, which Democrats argue is needed to restore public trust and institutional accountability. Republicans like Mullin dismissed it as political theater, contending it serves partisan purposes rather than substantive transparency yourNEWS+1AOL+1.
Why did Democrats object?
Actually, Democrats were supporting the measure. It was Senate Republicans who objected and blocked it. Senate Democrats, in turn, are continuing to push for transparency. For example:- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D‑N.Y.) has requested a closed‑door briefing for senators on the Epstein files The Times of India+3The Washington Post+3Vanity Fair+3.
- Senators Dick Durbin (D‑Ill.) and Chris Van Hollen (D‑Md.) successfully secured a unanimous bipartisan amendment in the Senate Appropriations Committee to preserve and compile all Epstein‑related records, and they have demanded the Attorney General release them within 60 days Newsweek+4durbin.senate.gov+4judiciary.senate.gov+4.
Summary table:
| Actor | Action Taken |
|---|---|
| Senate Democrats | Supported resolution calling for release of files |
| Senate GOP (e.g. Mullin) | Objected to move forward with Gallego's resolution, preventing a vote |
