The purpose of an investigation is to determine whether or not to present a criminal case to a grand jury.

If the grand jury fails to indict, then release the Epstein files.

If the grand jury indicts, then Clinton, Summers, etc. have Discovery. THEY ask for the Epstein files.

If the investigation drags on, a credible argument can be made that there is nothing in the Epstein files showing any criminal malfeasance by Clinton, Summers, etc.
