Quick way to find out if Nancy Mace's leaving the meeting with the Epstein survivors in tears was just an act.

Will she vote for the release of all of the Epstein files? I am betting she won’t. Will she vote to
protect Donald Trump from his past of allegedly raping young teens, being a part of a world wide
sex trafficking operation,* and using his plane as part of that sex trafficking operation?




Rep. Nancy Mace leaves meeting with Epstein victims in tears, says their painful stories gave her ‘full blown panic attack’…. https://nypost.com/2025/09/03/us-news/nancy-mace-spotted-walking-out-of-epstein-meeting-in-tears/

* Putin and Russia were allegedly part of Epstein’s Sex Trafficking operations. In Putin’s case it
might have been a good way for the former KGB agent to get kompromat on people like Trump.

Nancy Mace said in a statement on the meeting: "Since it's already being reported - Yes I left the Oversight briefing with Epstein victims early.

"As a recent survivor (not 2 years in), I had a very difficult time listening to their stories. Full blown panic attack. Sweating. Hyperventilating. Shaking. I can't breathe.

"I feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us. GOD BLESS ALL SURVIVORS."

The big part of the dossier was that Trump was compromised by foreign money such as
Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia. The story of Egypt sending Trump when he became POTUS
10 million in cash confirmed the dossier. So far not one part of the Steele Dossier has been
disproven.

NatSec officials with deep ties to intelligence agencies say the information on Traitor centers on pedophilia and that’s what the “p” actually stands for.

That tape may even have been provided by Epstein 🤔

that she a signed on for the release of all the files after her performance yesterday. I am equally shocked that BoBo and MTG did as well.

The petition was filed by Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie and calls for a vote on a bill, written by Massie and California Democrat Ro Khanna which would require the Justice Department to release the Epstein files within 30 days. At the time of writing, the petition has gained 134 signatures from 130 Democrats and four Republicans. The Republicans who have signed the petition are:

1. Thomas Massie, Kentucky
2. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia
3. Nancy Mace, South Carolina
4. Lauren Boebert, Colorado

were on the impeach Clinton for a B.J. train back in the day?

not including Massey, who plan to vote for the release of the Epstein files discharge petition. 218 signatures are needed to bring the bill to the floor for a vote. Massey and Khanna need 2 more Magats to get to 218.

Now is a dumb time to be attacking Mace, we can wait until after we find out if this discharge petition makes it.

that the full Epstein Files will be released, amuses me greatly.......

The info gathered has been censored/screened repeatedly by Trump's Admin, his Appointed DOJ, His FBI, etc etc etc for the past YEAR.......

Furthermore, I have to believe that Trump has collected for himself, most of the damning evidence, gathered in boxes in his Mar-a-Lago bathroom. For HIS future use to use to personally black mail all the Uber Wealthy, and Politcians, and pocket the money in what will be his GREATES GRIFT OF ALL TIME......and of course Putin will take a share of the money, as well as dictating to Trump what to do to continue destroying the U.S.A.

I just learned that she signed the discharge petition. In a just world Trump should have
zero support in protecting Trump from his past associations with Epstein and his inter-
national sex trafficking ring. If as I have read that Trump’s plane made multiple trips to
Epstein’s Island the flight logs should tell the story but this is the Republican Party who
made fun of John Kerry’s service in Vietnam by wearing band aids or gave w a pass on
getting us involved in Iraq or Trump’s J 6th attempted coup.

It almost makes it worse if after her experiences, she votes to protect a sex trafficking ring. If her pain and trauma are real AND she ignores the need to protect that should be part of her job even if she was not personally affected, it will show how willing she is to sacrifice anything to stay good with Trump.
