Rep Massie: Push for Epstein Files Caused White House 'panic'

Wednesday, June 24, 2026

"It put them into a full-blown panic," [Republican Rep. Thomas] Massie said, referring to his push for the [Epstein] files. "If you look at the timeline, that meeting in the Situation Room was two days after I introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act ... This would have never been an issue for the White House, number one, if they had just done what they campaigned on, but number two, if I hadn't introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and that's frankly, one of the reasons they spent $30 million to take me out is because they don't want transparency over there."

"It put them into a full-blown panic," Massie said, referring to his push for the files.

The Epstein files will never be released.

Whatever is left of them will be whittled away until it disappears.

Massie could have released them by now if he wanted.

Another quality post from Massie:

Thomas Massie

@RepThomasMassie
The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while

bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...

but arguing that the biggest problem we have is "stolen elections."

I wonder why Biden didn't release the files? Why wouldn't the next Democrat just release them?

On the other hand, you do know why Trump didn't release the files.

I assume it's for the same reason(s) Biden chose not to go public with them.

And as usual, you're wrong.

Why didn't Biden release them? Google is your friend. Actually, though, Google it's your enemy, because the truth is your enemy.

As usual you're an idiot who will bend any and all information to make it say what you want it to say. I listened to what Harris had to say about it when she was questioned, and it was simply "we didn't want to go that way with it"

Now that the eyes are on the Biden Admin. too, they're concocting up everything they can to avoid telling the truth... Just like you

You haven't provided any information.

You're afraid to.

You can only make assumptions and innuendos.

"Genocide Joe" and USAG Merrick Garland didn't release the massive Epstein files because that bursting dam would have also exposed Israel and the Mossad's influence and blackmail operations in the US, the Gulf States, and the Vatican.

Sexual deviants Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were the Mossad's Sayanim.

From 21 Jan 2021 to 19 Jan 2025, USAG Merrick Garland therefore had SC Jack Smith pursue Dummkopf Trumpf uselessly in a judicial system stacked against him.

That was four years of unentertaining Kabuki theater which got the American people nowhere, but at least protected Israel and the Mossad from public scrutiny in that four year timeframe.

As damage control after the initial releases, the satanic Benjamin Netanyahu was forced to go on Israeli TV just to deny that Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad asset.

And you can't admit the fact that the Biden Administration had every bit of information (whatever that entails) from the Epstein investigation and death, as well as the Maxwell investigation/trial. If there was something there, Biden looked the other way. Make all the excuses you want, but the guy you voted for and still make excuses for looked the other way if there was something in those files that would incriminate Trump. You're beginning to sound like Alex Jones with your other comment about the "satanic pedophile ring" and that Trump had that old woman murdered.

The DOJ had that information.
The DOJ still does, except for what's been destroyed to protect Trump.

You don't seem to understand that releasing it by the White House would be illegal.

That's how Separation Of Powers works.

You can't admit that.

Keep dancing, dumbass. You know what I do know? I know that the DOJ can prosecute pedophiles. Or is that a violation of the Separation of Powers when it fits your agenda?

"Can."

Why haven't they prosecuted Biden for his showers, is there a lack of evidence?

You guys are all wrong about the Epstein files. The Epstein files never existed.

It was always The Epstain Files.
