I'm not saying it, Thomas Massie is saying it.
BREAKING:
🇺🇲🇮🇱 "Epstein had close ties to our own intelligence agency and Israel's intelligence agencies." - Republican Rep. Thomas Massie. pic.twitter.com/II9fdhGZ1h— Megatron (@Megatron_ron) November 19, 2025

Yesterday, Speaker Johnson told us he was worried that if we declassified items in the files without consulting the intelligence agencies, it would be "incredibly dangerous" because, uh, critical sources must be protected.
Leftwing commentators were quick to come to their own wild conclusions:
BREAKING: 🇮🇱 🇺🇸 Speaker Mike Johnson claims the Epstein files CANT be released unredacted because they contain intelligence-agency material that falls under “national security.”
Translation: “The Israeli Mossad has videos of us r-aping children.”

We also found out that Speaker Johnson, and possibly Trump, were not too happy about the bill:
NEW: Speaker Johnson tells me he’s “deeply disappointed” the Senate approved the Epstein files bill without making changes.
He said he spoke to Trump about it tonight: “We both have concerns,” Johnson said.
I asked if Trump may veto it: “I’m not saying that. I don’t know.” pic.twitter.com/qdErlrMKWY— Mychael Schnell (@mychaelschnell) November 19, 2025
Here's that full clip of Massie with a bit more context, which I'll quote below:
🚨Massie finally says the part the GOP’s been choking on:
“The Speaker, the Attorney General, the FBI Director, the President, and the Vice President could’ve spared our party months of humiliation if they’d just done the right thing four months ago.”
They knew. They stalled.… pic.twitter.com/JPjOQ7NHDd— Brian Allen (@allenanalysis) November 18, 2025
I'm concerned that now [Trump] is opening a flurry of investigations and I believe they may be trying to use those investigations as a predicate for not releasing the files ... I'm afraid they're going to try to use a provision of the law that allows you not to release these materials if they're subject of an ongoing investigation ... the release of which would harm the ongoing investigation.
Things are getting spicy out in Washington!

Don’t trust a word Massie is saying.
Yea, let’s not leave out “the Jew”. /sarc
>>> Speaker Mike Johnson claims the Epstein files CANT be released unredacted because they contain intelligence-agency material that falls under “national security.” <<<
Screw you, Johnson! RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!! DO IT NOW!!!
Tell me you want to ignore any UK intelligence ties to this without telling me..
^derp derp
There should no longer be any question as to who rules over us.
It has become obvious why neither the Biden admin nor the Trump admin wanted these files to be talked about at all. They knew that releasing them would cause an international incident and they themselves would be blamed for hiding the files to prevent it from happening.
Anyone who is still pretending they don’t understand this is willfully ignorant or a paid propagandist.
Dershowitz says Massie is full of cr**.
Epstein had close ties to our own intelligence agency and Israel’s intelligence agencies. TRUE.
Who introduced Epstein to Dershowitz?
without consulting the intelligence agencies
😂
Hey, are guys ready for the world to know just how fricking depraved you mofo’s are ?
No ?You’re not ? Whew, that’s a relief, okay then, business as usual for the usual suspects !?!
Johnson thinks that is a solution to this mess ?😂
There’s going to be major embarrassments to our allies.
Andrew, formerly known as Prince, is just the tip of the iceberg..............
“I’m not saying it, Thomas Massie is saying it.“
Oh, well if that grandstanding, treasonous a-hole says it then it must be true.
LOL.
So then why are all the Democrats in Congress voting to release "this"?
The ONLY SOLUTION is to release everything an dlet the chips fall where they may.
If allies are embarrassed, maybe they should be.
If Democrats and Republicans are named, they both should be.
The victims have already said they are okay with it.
Once it’s all out in the open then we can finally move on...............
A more accurate statement would be “Jeff Epstein had many contacts with Deep State scumbags in many nations, from the USA, to Israel, to England, to [insert here].”
The Deep State operates across national lines, infects every country, including Israel.
Tarring Israel, in general, when it’s Ehud Barack and other Obama cronies, is like tarring the USA, in general, when it’s Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, and other dirt bags who partied with Epstein.
What is an embarrassment is who a pedo Traffickers Epstein and Maxwell get such sweetheart deals, that’s the f’ing embarrassment .
My mind goes back to an unrelated matter in which President Trump’s home was searched for classified documents. The claim from our side (which I support 100%) is that the President can declassify anything with just a wave of his hand.
Congress has voted in favor of releasing the Epstein files.
The President is not expected to veto the release of the Epstein files.
Whoops! All of a sudden we can’t release the Epstein files? Because ... classified?
I say let it all hand out. 100%. Just a wave of the hand, and everything shall be revealed. Unless, of course, our side decides to chicken out. Which would be a bad look.
You can probably find out for yourself if you google a bit. It’s readily available.
