1. In theory, couldn't either House of Congress or any committee thereof issue a SDT to the DOJ for all documents and files pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein?
2. Given the rate at which the discontent among the segment of the MAGA base has been growing, is there any reasonable likelihood that the GOP leadership in either or both Houses of Congress would "green-light" the issuance of such a SDT to the DOJ for the Epstein documents?
1. The history of Congressional enforcement of subpoenas to the executive branch is murky, at best. The courts frequently leave the executive and legislative branches to come to a compromise.
2. I have no idea whether Congressional Republicans will have the backbone to send an unwelcome subpoena on Jeffrey Epstein documents to the Trump Administration.

Fascinating insights as always!
