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 guess when you make a career out of being on the losing side of 425-5 votes in Congress, spending your days doing interviews on CNN instead of doing your job makes a lot of sense.
Are there legal ramifications for being on The List?
This stuff sounds like material for the tabloids.
I agree, release it all. Call their bluff.
Has anyone considered that maybe - unlike Biden- Trump is trying to protect Bill Clinton in order to protect the office of the President?
But I’d also make sure it included the name “Thomas Massie.” :-O
Do you want Trump to send the military into the courts to pick up the affidavits, because thats the list the uninformed want.
Does Massie ever do one single thing that is actually productive?
Everything seems to surprise Patel. I am sick of that deer in the headlights look on Patel’s face.
“My favorite Rep.”
The Favorite Rep. of the Democrats and the Media, too.
Has anyone taken their brain out of neutral and had the sense to ask whether a Deep State smart enough to stage a successful coup would be dumb enough to leave reliable, actionable files for the Trump admin to use after the last presidential election was too big to rig?
Massie is Deep State.
Only when it suits them and only recently
Ron Paul cultist posts a Radical Leftist Rag , The New republic , to attack the Trump admin .
Are you a Paid Demonrat Troll .
A hit piece from the most far left rag in DC .
Massie the desperate soon to be gone Iranian Qatar Demorat Paid asset
desperate to save his soon to gone a$$.
Tell this Qatar asset to call up his Buddy ,
Gloria Allred the Demonrat paid smear lawyer .
Gopd ridden to this Dem Asset .
Calm down a second
He’s only liked by leftists when convenient. MANY of Massie’s positions are anathema to them
i.e Second Amendment, abortion, they will go back to hating him soon!
“””Does Massie ever do one single thing that is actually productive?”””””””
He does a LOT......for the democrats. He will be gone next year.
Seems like Biden was privy to this info - why would he withhold info
damaging to Trump?
“being on the losing side of 425-5 votes in Congress”
Just when I believe I can’t hate the worthless uniparty any more they gang up on this. Balancing the budget and stealing from us and great-grandchildren who aren’t even born are not important, just one of a hundred topics. As much Massie deserves disdain in the end he fits right in.
Mental masturbation also feels good too.
Yep, he sees the squad is protected and that Dem bills pass.
Saved Joe’s bacon several times.
