I don't think it's a good idea to release all the documents and records about Jeffrey Epstein. It could cause a lot of chaos and confusion. I don't want to know all the details about it. It's better to just let it go and move on. Plus, it might bring up some uncomfortable truths that I don't want to deal with. This bill could really stir things up and I'd rather just leave it in the past. Did you know that this bill has been met with a lot of controversy and pushback from various political parties?
