I think it goes way beyond Trump.
He is just the latest to try and stop the full release.
I hope that Massie and MTG use the Speech and Debate Clause to read-out the top one hundred names in the files, their context, the file id, and page number as reference.
They can't be touched and that must be written into the Congressional record.
That would end their career in the GOP, but I think AIPAC is going to assure that anyway.
Light the match on the way out.
He has teased that before:
Green quit. She's gone. Replaced. No longer in congress. Considering fleeing the country. She already ended her career. And she accomplished what?
Massie could have done it. Swore he would. Didn't do it. Massie is done as well. And he accomplished what? If it is so important to him, why has he not done it?
Dying on a hill you cannot hope to take, when there are many battles that can be won, that might even get you to a point where you CAN take that hill, is a fool's errand, "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing".
It's a shame, too, Massie could have done so much more. Now he's just trying to take a dump in the punch bowl for spite.
I think Trump has figured out, the files won't be released, there's too much obstruction, too powerful, in place. He's moved on. His argument regarding the files is that they are just being used as a distraction for political purposes, and no one really cares about punishing the guilty, or helping the victims. He's not against the release, he's against the distraction. This is simply "russiagate" all over again. They know he wasn't involved. They just want to tie up another Trump term, like they did the first time. Trump sees that. So does anyone else with their eyes open.
As far as DC goes, Trump is correct. No one there really cares. Not 10% of congress, meaning less than 55 people, care. In fact, Massie has been in congress fourteen years. Why now? Seriously. Why is it a big deal in 2025-2026? Why not 2012-2024?
Yes, let's clear this up. Sure, millions would love to see it all out. I'm one of them. Like the other crimes, like the corruption, like the other hidden sex scandals we pay to be settled, like the illegal immigration, like the importing of sworn enemies as immigrants, like the plandemic, I quite literally want to see people swing from the gallows. for their crimes against children, the nation, and humanity. Pretty sure there is no one on this board who doesn't want the files released and the guilty punished, stop claiming they don't.
Epstein was caught, the first time, at least in a major way where state and federal felony prosecution was probable,
twenty years ago, in 2006. Suddenly, 19 years later, after the end of the Bush term, TWO Obama/Biden terms, a Trump term (where NOTHING was said, because "russia, russia, russia"), and a Biden Harris term, now it's a huge issue, that is all Trump's fault for not getting it resolved. And suddenly, when nothing else they tried sticks, they claim Trump is involved. Because Trump said he's release the files? Seriously? What president has delivered on 20% of what he promised? But this promise is somehow a bigger deal? They released what 12 million pages?
Make it make sense. Why is it Trump you want to call "pedophile protector", screaming at the top of your lungs? Why not Bush? Why not Obama? Why not Biden? Why not Harris?
One reason. You hate Trump more than you hated any of them, and you're willing to go to any lengths, no matter how ludicrous, no matter how invalid, to disrupt his administration.
A full and complete release of all files, with only minors redacted, is a great thing. No doubt.
Making it a Trump only issue, when there have been five years of Trump as president, and fourteen years of other presidents, is TDS. Period. Especially when his administration released 12 million pages, and no one else released any.
Oh, the redactions are an FBI act. To be perfectly clear, both Wray and Comey are sworn mortal enemies of Trump, and they ran the FBI. Wray was only replaced in 2025. With Patel at the FBI, burn bags have been found and released. So, why aren't Comey, Wray, and others "pedohpile protectors"? Why not Merrick Garland?
