Republican 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 Justice’s (DOJ) investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s death public.

Barr announced Saturday that he had directed the FBI and the DOJ inspector general to investigate Epstein’s 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. Epstein’s 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.

1. Can't see why he wouldn't

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.

7. He did #2 with the Mueller report

so I expect same will happen in this case.


Hmmmm...I can't remember......this has been such a long running political soap opera....did Barr ever
release the full report?

9. No, Barr has not released the full, unredacted Mueller Report.

And before he released the redacted version, he lied about its content, cementing the “no obstruction/no collusion” crapola in many minds.

2. I hope Jabba gives them the obstruction act, just to see what happens.

3. I think it's starting to dawn on them...

5. LOL +1 for this reference

I find myself saying it far too often

[Proud Liberal Dem]

4. And the full unredacted Mueller report while he's at it

Wonder if Johnson and Grassley want to make sure that they're not on Epstein's records?

6. Why aren't they calling for his resignation

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.

8. What can Congress do if there is a republican majority????
