The question is now WHY Massie "doesn't believe that Trump is implicated in the Epstein files"

[Miles Archer]

Trump's had him in the crosshairs. You and I have NO IDEA what's in the files, nor does anyone else who HASN'T SEEN THEM.

If you DO THE MATH on Trump, he's NOT someone you're going to dismiss as being too morally upright to have "partied" with Epstein.

So is MASSIE watching what Trump's doing to GREENE and orchestrating his own "soft landing" after the House vote?

Johnson refused to schedule any bill for a vote that would have compelled the DOJ to release its files on Epstein, forcing Massie to pursue his discharge petition, which last week received enough signatures and forced Johnson to schedule a vote on the Epstein bill for this week.

President Donald Trump’s name appears thousands of times in the relatively small sampling of Epstein files that the House Oversight Committee has released in recent weeks, and Trump himself has launched an aggressive campaign to block the vote on the Epstein bill.

Massie, however, doesn’t believe that Trump is implicated in the files, and dismisses Trump’s opposition to seeing them released as an effort to protect his friends and donors from embarrassment.

“I think this is all about the president trying to protect his friends and his donors,” Massie told the Post.

1. 1. I don't care his reason, if he gets the files released

2. "protect his friends and donors" who are pedophiles? still not a good look for TSF. And potentially criminal. But hey, if that's what Massie needs to say and it works for him, refer back to #1.

4. I hear you, and yeah, at this point, it really doesn't matter in the big picture

I thought it was an odd statement to make. But as long as it snaps Bondi's stranglehold on the files, I also don't care.

2. I think it's plausible for MAGAts to believe this

Cults are famous for contortions rationalizing their belief in crazy shit.

I really don’t care what motivates Massie. I just hope he succeeds in getting the information out about Epstein and whoever else was involved, Dem or Republican.

Navigating how to get justice for the victims will be an entirely new fight

3. If Trump is just "trying to protect his friends and his donors" who are in the files,

isn't he trying to protect child sex traffickers, and isn't that as reprehensible as being one?

5. isn't it "aiding and abetting"

or "accessory after the fact?"

i have no problem believing a preponderance of evidence; points towards trump wallowing in this perverse stuff..

7. What he is saying doesn't make Trump look any better

He is saying Trump is protecting child rapists because he is profiting from it. .

Right now none of us knows if Trump himself engaged in this but we know enough to know that he knew others did it and was ok with it and even allowec it to happen.
