He said today that he is going to release names of people who were involved with Epstein.
He said that Bondi and Patel perjured themselves when they claimed that everything had been released. He then gave examples of items that should have been released.
Democrats other than Ro Khanna need to be backing Massie, grow a pair.

(19,267 posts)But I have not found it terribly rare for a person who disagrees with me to stand up for principles at times.
(obviously) We all start with different genetics and life situations, and proceed from there through different life experiences including schooling directed at us. This is why Democrats should not write off those who disagree with us, even strongly, if they seem to not be corrupt. We should take the progress we can get in the areas where we agree with those people, even if we will vigorously oppose them on other issues. I would call naming names of the Epstein criminals to be progress.

(32,824 posts)I had a small taste of it many years ago when on borough council I took on powerful people who wanted to frack for gas and strip coal on our pristine watershed, and yes there were death threats and I spent many sleepless nights. What Massie is doing is so much more dangerous than what I did.

(43,570 posts)for each announcement. I wouldn't say upfront when because that would give trump a chance to play a media diversion trick.
I'd also break down my announcements so I had a lot of them; this could make certain people nervous.

But he knows things that most of us don't. I just hope he glides safety through the exit on his way to his next adventure.

(8,861 posts)was confirm was what obvious...TSF's a liar, bully, and a racist. Never revealed all that he knew, in my opinion.
Will Massie be different? Will he reveal just enough to function as a pressure release valve? Will there be more he doesn't reveal? And what info does he have that others don't? Does he know more than a few Epstein details...perhaps with respect to Jan 6, Russia ties, Ukraine blackmail, WH grifting, and the whole range of outrageous TSF behavior over the years?
Massie must think, as many of us do, that TSF is disordered, dangerous, ineffective, desperate, scared, limited...does he have anything to say about that, or will he deflect?
A rule proven over and over: if they admit to anything it is because the whole truth is a lot worse.

(19,123 posts)That gives them an opportunity to stop you.
If he really wanted to release the names why not just do it?
So i think theres some hidden reason for him announcing this.

and wake me when everyone who claims to have incriminating evidence produces it

If you have it and are sitting on it, you are just a guilty as Trump and his ilk. Actually, I think I would despise you more, because you are causing just as much harm as Epstein/trump.
