And since it's always tit-for-tat with Republicans, what outlandish, self-serving reward is he demanding for these names?

How often did Trump dunk his dicky I wonder?

The number is probably higher, and also is probably NOT exactly 20, giving Kash-Man and the Alphabet Crew a chance to deny this claim...

So Kash Patel was lying under oath, but nothing will come of it.

Copy that.

Kash Patel is just a hologram.

More from the cited article ...

... Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) told the House Judiciary Committee that the FBI has the names of at least 20 people tied to Epstein, including prominent figures in the music industry, finance, politics and banking.

The revelation that there are names of suspects in the FBI files comes as FBI Director Kash Patel continued to insist there is no evidence of anyone else involved in Epstein's crimes, that there is no Epstein client list and that he has taken no steps to investigate some of the men named in the FBI files. ...

@#8 ... The revelation that there are names of suspects in the FBI files comes as FBI Director Kash Patel continued to insist there is no evidence of anyone else involved in Epstein's crimes ...

That leads me to ask ...

Is Dir Patel showing his allegiance to the oath he swore, or is he just trying to show his allegiance to Pres Trump in the vain hope he won't be fired?

Easy enough too, to make a list from flight logs.

If Patel, or any other Trump administration officials, commit a federal offense, they can reasonably expect that Trump will pardon them. This binds them to Trump in a way that makes them EVEN MORE likely to do exactly as he demands.

They're just good fascisti, carrying out Trump's orders.

The victims have said that they would compile a list of the perps and MTG has said that they would read those names into the Congressional Record. If Trump's name is on the list, I wonder if MTG would read aloud his name?

The big cover up that won't go away. Trump has tried time and again to use misdirection to get it attention on something else. Nothing has worked for him, it's like the faithful puppy that won't go away. He's been backed by the congress critters for near anything he's pushed for. It only serves to draw more attention from the public on what is being hidden that they don't want to see the light of day on.

Trump's name you can be sure is there, heck we've been told it was there. If all those names are exposed, bye bye campaign donors. They'll have other things occupying their time and money.

Doubtful.
She probably thinks Trump is drawing the short straw on this.
Or perhaps it's a tool she can use to winkle out a new stoplight for Dawgpatch.

The left doesn't care which Democrat is on the list... we came to terms with that ages ago... back when the cl0wns were threatening to expose it... Republicl0wns were all happy to talk about the release when the star of our show was the "person of interest"...

So what is it now? Is it the three ways that Trumpanzee did with Epstein and barely pubescent girls you don't want to hear about? As a liberal... I am ready to let the cards fall where they may... I know it's ricos being @$$%0le$ with the peasants... Why is the orange pig running all that interference?

If MTG does not read ALL of the names from the list, you can bet that the victims will call attention to that fact and evidence of a cover up will be even more obvious thereby keeping the topic front and center in the minds of the American people.

Such as divorce court, ya think?

I've wondered that same thing about Ken Paxton's wife in Texas claiming biblical grounds.

Having seen her new direction I feel it's quite possible, if not inevitable.

When she chooses to interview without hyperbolics she is pretty salient on this subject.

Trump will turn on her sooner than later, imo.
