If I were the FBI director then, it wouldn't have happened.”“Acosta allowed Epstein to enter in 2008, to a...

Freeper, what if your name was read out on the House floor associated with Epstein? But that could never happen because you are innocent,... right? If you are innocent, it is impossible for you to be named in and under any circumstance. Right?

@Acyn Massie: You have reviewed those documents where the victims named the people who victimized them? Patel: Personally, no, but the FBI has. Massie: How can you sit here and say there are no names?

@Acyn Massie: According to victims these documents in your possession, detail at least 20 men, including Staley, CEO Barclays Bank, who Jeffrey Epstein trafficked victims to. That list includes 19 over individuals, one Hollywood producer worth a few hundred million dollars. One very prominent banker, one high profile government official, one high profile former politician, one owner of a car company in Italy, one rock star, one magician, at least six billionaires including a billionaire from Canada. We know these people exist in the FBI files.

Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy pressed FBI Director Kash Patel on Tuesday to continue the release of files in the Jeffrey Epstein case, specifically information about who other than Epstein, if anyone, was on the receiving end of girls and women being sex trafficked. “The issue’s not gonna go away,” said Kennedy during the Senate Judiciary Committee’s FBI oversight hearing, where Patel was testifying. “I think you’re gonna have to do more to satisfy the American people’s understandable curiosity in that regard.” Kennedy’s comments were notable as the Trump administration battles complaints about the Justice Department’s slow, piecemeal approach to...

wo new Democrats who are expected to be sworn into Congress this month will be able to finalize the push to force a vote for a full release of the criminal files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. As Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY) discharge petition is merely two signatures short of forcing House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to put Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna’s (D-CA) bill on the House floor for a vote, two special elections will take place this month in which the Democratic candidate will likely be the victor.

Bill Clinton's letter to Jeffrey Epstein, in which he praised the billionaire pedophile's 'childlike curiosity', along with a drawing of Epstein approaching young girls, are the latest images released from his 50th 'birthday book.' The Clinton missive was published for the first time on the same day that a similar letter to Epstein with what was alleged to be Donald Trump's signature was made public. A photo showing a Mar-a-Lago member making a crude joke about Trump 'buying' a girl from the financier also emerged.

The O’Keefe Media Group on Monday released leaked audio of Mitch Rosas, an FBI Senior Paralegal Specialist, confessing there is “something” being covered up in the Epstein case. Rosas also said the FBI won’t release all Epstein files until “this Administration is over.” He also suggested a lot of powerful Democrats are on the Epstein client list. “None of the people that are in a position to answer the questions are willing to do it because it’s clear that they’re covering something and protecting someone or some people,” Rosas said. AUDIO: Rosas was fired on Monday and escorted out of...

In a matter of days, the US House speaker, Mike Johnson, claimed that Donald Trump was an FBI informant who was working to try to take down the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein – then backed away from the confusing statement. Johnson made the baffling claim on Thursday speaking to reporters at the US Capitol. “He was an FBI informant to try and take this stuff down,” Johnson said of Trump. The remark was so perplexing that it reportedly confused even Trump administration officials. By Sunday, Johnson was walking back his explosive comment. “The speaker is reiterating what the victims’...

@RepThomasMassie During our appearance on ABC this morning, my colleague @RepRoKhanna announced we will have the 218 votes needed for the Epstein discharge petition by the end of this month. When this vote happens, will your congressman vote for transparency and justice… or against?

House Democrats released a screenshot of what appears to be a letter to Jeffrey Epstein signed by President Donald Trump. The letter features a conversation between Trump and Epstein inside an apparently hand-drawn outline of a woman’s torso. Trump previously denied writing the letter when its existence was first reported.

“House Speaker Mike Johnson has claimed that President Donald Trump was once an 'FBI informant' in relation to Jeffrey Epstein's illegal activities. Johnson made the stunning comments in the halls of Congress on Friday after being pressed by CNN's Manu Raju about Trump routinely calling the Epstein files controversy a Democrat-invented 'hoax'.”

Speaker Mike Johnson said Thursday he doesn’t believe a bipartisan effort to force a House vote compelling the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents will succeed. Asked about the discharge petition led by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Johnson said he doubted they would convince enough Republicans to sign on. “I don’t expect he will,” Johnson said when asked about Massie’s chances of success. .. White House officials are running an intense pressure campaign to keep Republicans from joining the discharge effort. Trump aides have made calls to GOP members who have co-sponsored the Massie-Khanna measure, pressuring those...

@amitylee13 This is absolutely heartbreaking! I don’t know how anyone could watch this, especially if you have a daughter, and not want to thank @RepThomasMassie over and over for his relentless efforts to get justice for these victims!!

James O’Keefe, the Project Veritas founder and longtime pro-MAGA activist, published a clip on Thursday of a Trump Justice Department official claiming that Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to prison “to keep her quiet.” In the clip, an off-camera woman asks Joseph Schnitt, an acting deputy chief of special operations, about the Epstein Files and Maxwell – a convicted sex offender and Jeffrey Epstein accomplice. “But those files do exist,” noted the woman. “Yeah, thousands and thousands to page through. They’ll redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, leave all the liberal, Democratic people in those pages,” Schnitt replied....

The victims of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation told NBC News’ Hallie Jackson Wednesday that they had no knowledge of President Donald Trump doing anything inappropriate in relation to the deceased pedophile’s operation. Speculations surrounding Trump’s relationship with Epstein have drawn attention on Capitol Hill and the press following the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) conclusion that Epstein had not possessed a client list and its decision to not publicly release all of the documents relating to the sex offender’s criminal case. The victims told Jackson on “NBC News Now” that they had not heard or seen Trump do...

Victims of late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his incarcerated accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell said in a Wednesday press conference on Capitol Hill that they are putting together a list of the pair’s rich and powerful “clients” allegedly linked to their sex trafficking scheme. *** Now, together, as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know who were regularly in the Epstein world. And it will be done by survivors and for survivors — no one else is involved,” she added. *** All 212 Democrats are expected to back the petition, [ to release the files]along with Massie and GOP...

Finally - - In this video interview by Liberty Daily, we start to get pedophile names by Thomas Massie. As you know, Massie is a controversial figure, but on this issue he is a bulldog.

Democratic congressman Ro Khanna says the House will be compelled to vote on legislation to release the Epstein files if two more Republicans sign on to a petition he has introduced along with Republican congressman Thomas Massie. “We need just two more signatures to force the release,” Khanna said. So far, they have received the signatures of 212 Democrats and four Republicans: Massie, Nancy Mace, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert. Those lawmakers are some of the most conservative in their party, but Khanna praised their support of the discharge petition, which can force a vote on legislation in the...

A lawyer for the victims and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, Attorney Brad Edwards, told reporters that there is no such thing as the Epstein list.A reporter asks, "Do you believe Jeffrey Epstein had a list?" To whom Edwards replies: "Yeah, so there is not a list," as the survivors behind him nodded in agreement.So here's what it was. Just like you heard everybody today, Jeffrey Epstein created, through an organization, of enablers, of people that were on his payroll... It was a complicated scheme where others should still be investigated, because they helped to enable him and operate this scheme....
