Thomas Massie and MTG say if victims give them Epstein list they'll read the names on the floor of Congress,

where MTG and Massie will be protected by Congressional Immunity.

"They would be sued into homelessness for naming names, but [Georgia] Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and I are willing to name names in the House of Representatives under Constitutional 'speech or debate' immunity," Massie, from Kentucky, wrote on X on Wednesday night.

Members of Congress are protected by the Constitution's "speech or debate clause," which means they cannot face civil or criminal penalties for remarks made in speeches on the House or Senate floors. . . .

At a news conference on Wednesday, Greene said it is "a scary thing to name names. But I will tell you, I'm not afraid to name names."

She added: "If they want to give me a list, I will walk in that Capitol on the House floor and I'll say every damn name that abused these women."

They need to take care of themselves.

Don't fly in small planes like the programmer who rigged the votes from Ohio to give the election to shrub did.

...I'll give credit. However... Saying it, and actually following through on it, are two entirely different things.

I'd look at them differently if they actually did it, that's for sure. I suppose even The Grinch had a tiny ember down there somewhere that was a heart.

If FOTUS’s name is on the list that the victims hand over, she won’t read his name. He will get to her before that can happen. He may even be able to get to the victims for all we know. He’s a cornered rat.
