Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., responded to why President Trump is probably resisting the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, citing ties with others’ deep pockets.

“I think it's going to be embarrassing to some of the billionaires, some of the donors who are politically connected to his campaign. There are probably intelligence ties to our CIA and maybe to other foreign intelligence,” Massie told ABC News' "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos.

Massie emphasized how those who were involved in the allegations need to be held accountable regardless of social status. “We can't avoid justice just to avoid embarrassment for some very powerful men,” Massie said. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., appeared alongside Rep. Thomas Massie as the bipartisan duo has been urging their fellow members of the House to vote in favor of releasing the Epstein files amid strong opposition from the White House.

“This is a moral issue. It's about standing with survivors. It's about protecting children. I admire Congressman Massie's courage. I admire Nancy Mason's courage. Marjorie Taylor Greene's courage, Lauren Boebert’s courage. They are standing with survivors. We have the votes. Let's get a vote this month and get their files released," Khanna said.

2. If ever there was a time where . . .

Some peoples' desire to paper over what they did in the past needs to be fought against, this is it!

Morally bankrupt, despicable, predatory, destroyers of lives of innocent youngsters for their personal pleasure, really, they cannot, must not get away with this.

Name them, shame them, remove their power and wealth, march them barefoot in sackcloth and ashes to the town square where Mme Guillotine awaits!

(Oops, I'm daydreaming again!)
