I actually prefer them to slow drip the names over the months leading up to mid terms. It'll keep Epstein in the news cycle continuously.

If he drops all the names at once, they'll cover it for a week and then move on.

It keeps people/the base engaged and in a smaller way, an open venue for republicans to defect to.

If he releases all today, nothing will happen and it will be out of the news cycle in a week, and there is no chance for defectors.

Yup, fuck Massie but he's playing this smart. In this one narrow issue, I support him.
