The “same kind of consequences” faced by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein must be inflicted on “perpetrators of heinous crimes” linked to the disgraced financier in the United States, a congressman has said.
Thomas Massie, a Republican representative, also pointed to the sacking of Peter Mandelson, the UK’s ambassador to Washington, as an example of the fallout faced by those with ties to the late pedophile.
Speaking alongside survivors of Epstein at a press conference outside the US Capitol, Massie said: “There’s becoming a reckoning in Britain that needs to happen in the United States: a prince lost his title, the ambassador to the United States lost his job. We need to see those same kind of consequences here.”
“As my colleague Ro [Khanna] said, there shouldn’t be buildings named after these perpetrators of these heinous crimes, there shouldn’t be scholarships named after them, and there needs to be accounting.”
Massie was joined by Khanna, a California Democratic representative who also serves on the House oversight committee that is conducting an inquiry into the government’s handling of the Epstein case.
The pair led the bipartisan effort to force a House floor vote for the complete release of justice department files on Epstein.

President Trump backed the passing of the bill.
The Republicans know the truth helps them.
The Democrats think the bill hurts President Trump.
It appears Massie was played.
No Massie should be thanking Trump, the bill was going nowhere until Trump supported it.
Let me predict how Massie will return the favor, he will stab Trump in the back repeatedly when Trump’s agenda items need support, just like in the past where every time Massie would have been helpful, he drew out a knife instead.
Massie will not end well.
When a politician stoops to Pu$$y Powwer, he becomes a short timer.
This is woke revisited.
How many Americans have royal titles and sweetheart real estate arrangements? If that is how we punish those associated with Epstein, we won’t be going very far.
Massie looked like the self serving politician that he has always been
Why didn’t they do this while the POTATUS was in the WH, hmmmm?
The grandstanding fool looks like a idiot now.
How the he!! are they going to remove names from buildings?
Trials for everyone?
Because Durbin blocked it.
Sometimes Justice has to come in other forms than sitting in a jail cell . Larry summers just paid a heavy price .
Andrew may not be sitting in a literal jail cell but he has lost everything .
Hillary was denied her coveted title of President.
She should get the Bannon treatment for not testifying. Comer says billy boy has to testify . He may fake a heart attack soon
What a stupid attention whore Masshole is.
Massie…..Republican
One of these things is not like the other
His grandstanding cause is accomplished
Bill passed Trump will sign
Now what?
On to claiming airtime with a steady dribble of the politics of personal destruction against…..?
I suggest they look at the racial policies of the Woodrow Wilson presidency and start renaming that bridge…
I suggest they look at the racial policies of the Woodrow Wilson presidency and start renaming that bridge…
Bill Gates got divorced by his wife Melinda.
How much did that cost him personally. Billions
He is no longer on the board of Microsoft. The largest software company in the world that he helped start.
Again, how much has that cost him?
He has also backed off on his support of Climate Change and Vaccines for everything. So, I suspect he had a talking to about that too from someone in the Trump administration.
This is the POWER you can inflict when you have someone by the balls. Who would prefer to keep their name out of these proceedings.
Do not mistake my pointing these things out as sympathy. He deserves everything he gets.
The House version of the Thomas Massie ‘pay attention to me bill’ telling the DOJ to release the information about Jeffrey Epstein, unless it contains material related to national security of investigations, has now passed the Senate by unanimous consent and will now head to President Trump’s desk for his signature.
Trump will sign it and the Epstein ‘shiny thing’ law will go into effect, and the politicians will continue arguing about it and trying to attack the White House because they put the perpetual argument component into THE BILL:

The bill is only six pages.
As you can see from the highlighted qualifiers above, those of you who enjoy the bread and circus distractions provided by the DC UniParty apparatus, will have at least another year to follow this story. Have fun with it.
Meanwhile congress cannot find time to codify any executive orders that might save taxpayer money, secure the border, protect elections, tighten up immigration laws or expel criminal aliens….
…. But thanks to Ron DeSantis’s biggest supporter, Thomas Massie, you’ll always have Epstein.
