The move is part of an effort by Democrats to draw Senate Republicans into the debate over the release of the Epstein files, which has bitterly divided the House G.O.P. and wrought havoc in that chamber.

They are using a law? Wow, I bet republicans are very impressed.
- The longer dems can keep the Epstein issue in the public consciousness, the better. If it slips from the news cycle for too long, the average voter will forget about it, and at that point the whole thing will be moot. It doesn't matter if they actually succeed, the longer they can draw this out, the more damage it will deal.
- "Laws? We ain't got no laws! We don't need no laws! I don't have to show you any stinking laws!"
pushing Clinton under the bus for the better good, as they should
- Wrong link?
  I don't remember seeing Clinton mentioned. The article is more about Schumer trying to use a law that should (the precedence of it being used and it working is very light) let the house oversight committee force the release of the Epstein case if at least 5 members request.
  
  As others have said, this is about the bigger picture. If Clinton was involved with the Epstein Child-Fucking ring, he should go down. Anyone who has been part of the Epstein Child-Fucking ring should go down, honestly. I think that's the one thing we and Conservatives can agree on. Child Fuckers are bad. Problem is: It's super-easy to categorise the Other Side as childfuckers while ignoring the childfuckers on our own side. expatriado was just making it clear that they are OK with Clinton (and presumably other Left-leaning childfuckers) being caught up in this if we get all the Republicans involved in this shit as well.
  Not that I expect we will. The Epstein Files will be curated so they only hit Dems as long as the Shitgibbon is in charge.
  
  No, OP refers to Bill Clinton allegedly having been an Epstein client.

  They can throw people who aren't vulnerable minorities under there?
  
  It's very rare but not unheard of.
What good are laws when certain people won't follow them?
Kayfabe, kabuki.
Democrats will prove Bernie won the 2016 election with this one weird trick!
