Republicans are turning the heat back up on the Trump administration for its handling of the Epstein files.
Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie torched FBI Director Kash Patel over the weekend after he caught the bureau chief off guard on information that Patel should have already been privy to.
“I told Director Kash Patel that the FBI has names of 20 men to whom Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women and girls,” Massie wrote on X. “This basic fact seemed to surprise him. Why?
“Is the FBI withholding those names to protect the President’s rich and powerful friends?” Massie continued, before demanding that the administration “release the Epstein files.”
Massie has been fighting for the release of more documents related to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased pedophilic sex trafficker with connections to the rich and powerful, including President Donald Trump.
“I believe that Trump is trying to protect rich and powerful people who are his friends, and that is why this material is not getting released,” Massie told CNN last week.

“I am sick of that deer in the headlights look on Patel’s face.”
To be sure sometimes the video is distracting, yet Patel totally slammed pukes like Swallwell, Schiff to their faces in a congressional hearing the other day. It was brutal beatdown and beautiful, calling them liars right to their faces! Gavel slamming in the background etc.
No because the owners believe in free speech and diverse opinions
Massie is a GOPer, you seem to want him gone along with Rand Paul (also GOP) and the millions who follow/support him
It’s stupid and not at all inclusive you want me banned
I haven’t seen that look on him. Do you have specific examples?
Massie has access to the victims. He stood shoulder to shoulder with some of the victims on Capitol Hill several weeks ago.
They know the names of the people who victimized them. It is they who could give us the names but they haven’t done that.
It will happen one way or another
They are waiting for the DoJ to show their hand
When he flew to Utah for the press conference and said nothing. He stood there with the wide eyes.
“I told Director Kash Patel that the FBI has names of 20 men to whom Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women and girls”
How does Thomas Massie know more than the FBI? He’s full of it. If Massie knows this, why doesn’t he just publish the names? Sadly, about 80 percent of everything out of a politician’s mouth is posturing to raise their name recognition.
I think the whole world already knows Bill Clinton was involved with Epstein and Little St James.
People have yet to seem to care or do anything about it. The Epstein info has been in so many hands over the years. So many people could have went in there and manipulated or destroyed evidence.
I don’t think they are covering for a person but they may be covering who all Epstein was working for.
But crickets is all we heard.
Patel probably means well but is hamstrung. The Deep State is running a Shadow FBI that doesn’t answer to Trump or Patel.
Think about it, the Clintons, Hillary especially, had “her “FBI that snapped to attention at her command.
Biden and Obunga had their FBI , willing to do evil in their name.
Did Trump have a FBI during the first term ? Yes ! A backstabbing , treacherous , let’s kill the king sort of FBI.
Does anyone think that Trump currently has a FBI ? Did they all don their MAGA hats when Trump took office for the second term ?
This FBI has spent the last 10 years trying to destroy Trump , change my mind.
How can Patel hope to make a dent in this criminal organization known as the FBI ? The Deep Staters are tormenting him as of now, they can arrange to have him removed in a snap.
Massie kind of reminds me of Adam Schiff. Someone who hates Trump and likes to get on the news and claim he has the evidence.
Problem is, some of the “victims” have taken on Gloria Allred as legal counsel.
Has she coached them? Count on it.
Massie has attached himself indirectly to that and the democrats.
This is a huge red flag that something stinks here. Those women have had plenty of years to go after their abusers. We can see who helped dredge them up for this operation now.
The GOP needs to get this far-left commie RAT Massie. He isn’t a Republican.
mAssie at it again.
Whoever has these files needs to throw a bunch of crap about Massie in them. Those files have been tampered by every politician slob in the District of Corruption who has access to them. They are a joke. Worthless crap.
He’s a GREASEBALL IDIOT! Does he EVER GO AFTER A DEMOCRAT??? NO!
If they want black mail info for future manipulation the deep state, smart though they might be, would still want access to credible info for their own uses. The otherside of that of course mean that they have to spend a whole lot of time and capital to keep the info and their activities that much more secret. Thus the risks that they will make mistakes and the whole thing starts to unravel anyway!
Idiots like them need to be defeated in the primaries.
So the fbi has information that could lead to criminal charges and did nothing about it for years but also just left the evidence sitting there ? If there was a client list the fbi would have destroyed it
