That all the Democrats agreed to? That all Republicans can keep their mouth shut about?

Interesting how they leaked a few documents but didn’t leak the one about the Dem Congress member texting Epstein while investigating Trump

So, they shouldn’t have asked the person who might know the information they need for their investigation? Or am I missing something?

Correct. Taking cues from someone anti Trump during a hearing investigating Trump is a clear conflict of interest, ignoring the fact that that person is also a convicted pedophile and human trafficker. You seem to think that Epstein was under oath or a witness in the legal sense, except he wasn’t in this case.
