Republicans move to block Democratic effort to force release of Epstein files

Now I’m confused, why didn’t the democrats release the files when they where in charge?
Am I missing something?
Only a theory, but...
Guilt, likely.
Now, while it still may be a double-edged sword, it's seen as more damaging to the right side.
Alternative, the files don't actually exist, and the regime lied about it to satisfy the conspiracy loonies. Now it's come back to bite them, and they have nothing to appease their most engaged supporters.
There's no way the list is only right-wingers. Possibly, throwing the book at one person would mean they squeal on everyone. Maxwell might've considered it but after Epsteins death she probably preferred to stay alive.
