Lawmakers will be able to review the files on computers at the Justice Department starting Monday, according to a letter obtained by NBC News. They can take notes but can’t have electronic devices.

Members of Congress will be able to begin reviewing the unredacted version of the Justice Department’s files on Jeffrey Epstein on Monday morning, according to two sources familiar with the DOJ’s plans.

The review process will take place in person at the DOJ, according to a letter to members of Congress obtained by NBC News. The members will be able to review the material on computers at the DOJ offices but not the physical documents themselves.

The letter states that members can review the documents in person, provided they give the DOJ 24 hours’ notice. The option at this point is only available to members of Congress — and not their staff. They may take notes but can’t bring in any electronic devices, the letter said.

      I have no hope that the American government will do anything. It reaches too many people, and they aren’t going to punish themselves.

      There will be a few head shakes, some words about needing to do better. But the American government does not truly stand on the side of protecting the vulnerable, and I don’t believe it ever will.

      It’s another distraction from them stealing the midterms and planning to nationalize them. Unless, they finally impeach him. But I’m guessing that won’t happen.
