@RepThomasMassie
Americans deserve transparency and the victims of Epstein (and his associates) deserve justice.
Thank you @RepEricBurlison for cosponsoring this legislation to release the Epstein files.

Biden had 4 years to edit them. The idea that thousands of pages were still “hidden” at the FBI and were recovered thanks to a snitch...and finally sent to Bondi...tells me a whole bunch.
Massie et at in DC must not get it yet. The ultra wealthy and powerful who were personally involved in Epstein’s pedophile crimes are still in control and anyone who threatens otherwise will end up dead like the two young lady witnesses who were once part of Epstein’s harem of under age girls.
You’re right, you ruled it out in your comment. There are no shortage of people who think that this is Trump protecting Trump and when you suggested that he’s acting like someone with something to hide I jumped the gun.
Think about this:
Obama/Biden and their FBI flunkies , et al had access to the “EPSTEIN FILE” for 12 year. You suppose they MIGHT have been ORDERED to “REWORK” the data to include the names of their mortal enemies in the ranks of conservatives and TRUMP SUPPORTERS?
YA THINK that might be Trump’s motive in keeping this stuff off the street?
Just sayin’!
You made the claim.
Prove it.
President Trump made the claim.
He needs to prove it.
We need facts not speculation.
I remember Massie as fat boy Kentucky rube who evidently had traded his Hee Haw overalls for a cheap ill fitting suit.
Now he has what Caesar said of Cassius, that lean and hungry look about him.
I love Trump even though he is going of rails that put the Trump train up to speed.
That said Trump deserves as did Caesar better enemies than a jackal like Massie.
Massie isn’t worthy of emptying Trump’s bedpan.
It’s not the “Jeff Epstein Hoax”
It is the “Pam Bondi Hoax”
proved my point. thank you.
then why are you so quick to accuse all those Trump supporters?
I’ll follow them not you.
What we need is not to listen to Trump hating fools like you.
This crap of turning on President Trump over some idiotic Epstein case, takes the cake.
Really disgusting.
First I get Kash telling me I believe in crazy conspiracies.
Then I get President Trump telling me I am stupid.
Then I get you telling me I am a fool.
I am having a great week!
Indeed, therein lies Trump’s problem:
After all the BS surrounding this MESS, there’s no way in Hell to know WHAT are ACTUAL names and which are BS names included by the Obama/Biden mob to put Trump & his folks in the hot spot.
And THAT, cgbg, is why Trump is justified to call the whole damn thing BS. To do otherwise runs the very serious risk of DESTROYING COUNTLESS INNOCENT LIVES!
If anyone makes claims they need to prove them.
I thought you didn’t care.
I do not enjoy being insulted—or gaslit.
That said—I see no need to reply in kind to those who engage in it.
Oh really? Try again, and pay particular attention to #4 below:
Jeffrey Epstein’s Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) was a controversial legal deal signed in 2007 between Epstein and federal prosecutors in the Southern District of Florida, led by then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta. The NPA allowed Epstein to avoid federal sex trafficking charges in exchange for pleading guilty to lesser state charges in Florida. Below is a summary of its key contents, based on available information:
Key Provisions of Epstein’s NPA:
1. No Federal Prosecution in Southern District of Florida:
The agreement stipulated that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida would not prosecute Epstein for federal crimes related to the investigation, which involved allegations of sexually abusing minors between 2001 and 2007. This included potential charges outlined in a 53-page draft indictment.nytimes.comnccriminallaw.sog.unc.edu The NPA was limited to the Southern District of Florida and did not explicitly preclude other districts, such as the Southern District of New York, from pursuing charges.
2. Guilty Plea to State Charges:
Epstein agreed to plead guilty to two Florida state charges: one count of solicitation of prostitution and one count of procuring a person under 18 for prostitution.
As a result, Epstein served 13 months in a county jail (Palm Beach County Stockade) with work release privileges, allowing him to leave for up to 12 hours a day, six days a week.
3. Immunity for Co-Conspirators:
A highly controversial clause granted immunity from federal prosecution to Epstein and “any potential co-conspirators,” including four named individuals (described as assistants) and unnamed others. This provision has been criticized for potentially protecting influential associates without thorough consideration by prosecutors.
The Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) later found that this clause was included with little deliberation or documentation.
4. Victim Restitution:
The NPA identified 40 victims eligible for restitution, an increase from the 34 confirmed minors initially reported by the FBI. Epstein was required to make payments to these victims as part of the agreement.
The agreement also required Epstein to register as a sex offender.
5. Secrecy and Lack of Victim Notification:
The NPA was negotiated without informing or consulting Epstein’s victims, a violation of the federal Crime Victims’ Rights Act (CVRA), as later ruled by U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra in February 2019. Prosecutors actively concealed the deal, misleading victims by suggesting the case was still under investigation.nytimes.comreason.com This lack of transparency led to victims feeling “confused and ill-treated,” undermining public confidence in the agreement.
6. Resolution of Federal Investigation:
The NPA effectively halted an ongoing FBI investigation (“Operation Leap Year”) into Epstein’s activities, sealing the 53-page indictment and preventing further exploration of additional victims or co-conspirators.
The agreement was described as a “global” resolution of Epstein’s state and federal criminal liability, though its scope was debated in later legal challenges. Additional Context: Controversial Terms: The NPA was criticized as unusually lenient, allowing Epstein to avoid a potential life sentence for serious federal charges.
The Justice Department’s OPR investigation in 2020 concluded that Acosta exercised “poor judgment” in approving the NPA and failing to ensure victim notification, but found no professional misconduct or illegal actions.
The inclusion of immunity for unnamed co-conspirators raised suspicions about protecting powerful individuals, though no evidence was found that Acosta was influenced by Epstein’s wealth or connections.
Legal Challenges:
In 2019, Judge Marra ruled the NPA violated the CVRA by keeping victims in the dark. However, in 2020, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned this, stating the CVRA did not apply since federal charges were never filed.
The ruling was controversial, with victims like Courtney Wild arguing it allowed prosecutors to negotiate secret deals without accountability.
Unresolved Questions:
The full NPA document remains partially sealed or redacted, and some details, such as the complete list of protected co-conspirators, have not been publicly disclosed.
Speculation persists about why the deal was so favorable, with some alleging Epstein’s connections to intelligence or high-profile figures influenced the outcome, though no definitive evidence supports this.
Wonder why Massie defends Schiff and Rashida Tlaib?
Wonder why he came to Joe’s rescue so Joe could spend Trillions on Gay midgets and Trans Musicians and Woke Waste?
Typical horse dung. It was just today you wrote a paragraph with about 12 gaslighting insults.
President Trump is correct. You never supported him and he doesn’t need the support of fake MAGA like you.
OK.
Just keep insulting folks and see how it goes.
We have midterms coming up.
You need me and people like me.
I definitely don’t need you. Bye.
