Republican reveals how to know if Trump's DOJ is protecting suspects in the Epstein files

Speaking in a video posted to X, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) said that the documents will show that "at least 20 men" were implicated in the Justice Department's possession of the documents. Massie knows those names directly from the survivors of Epstein and said that if names are missing, they'll know not all of the documents were released.

"Well, one of the ways we'll know is there are people who have covered this case for years. And, I've talked to them in private, and they know what some of the material is that's back there. But the other way we'll know is that the victims' lawyers have been in contact with me and, collectively, they know that there are the names of at least 20 men who are accused of sex crimes in the possession of the FBI. These would reside in the FD-302 forms."

"So if we get a large production on Dec. 19th and it does not contain the name of a single male accused of a sex crime or, sex trafficking ... then we know they haven't produced all the documents," he continued.

Massie also explained that, unlike past subpoenas, "this is a law." So, not complying with it means a law is being broken.

1. Massie is meeting the moment

I hope he is safe and takes needed precautions. I suspect he is; he knows what kind of monsters he's dealing with. I fear like Cheney, he'll pay for taking a principled stand. I disagree with Cheney on just about everything, disagree with Massie on a ton, but those two people do care about our nation, rule of law and the constitution. Massie also doesn't approve of pedophiles and sex trafficking. Appears the Republic Party doesn't agree with him.

2. Well said, kwolf, thank you.

I agree with you 100%. I will give him credit for this one. Credit where credit is due.

4. Yes, a big difference between Democrats

and republicans is Democrats will give republicans credit when they do the right thing. Republicans never give an inch.

11. You are right, PatSeg.

Sad, but so true.

3. This is what I've said all along.

We will know if they are still covering things up. At this point, if they do, they will be breaking the law. If they don't release everything tomorrow as they are obligated to do, then it may take some more time, but I believe we will still see that info eventually.

5. Surely there must be more than 20 pedophiles associated with Epstein

I must be missing a piece of the puzzle.

6. What I get from that...

Is the 20 he references are probably those named by victims during their attempts to get the FBI to do something, those would be in the files. Those names are known by those involved in the cases. That's my guess.

I welcome other ideas.

7. That's a good educated guess, makes sense.

8. It was...

The only thing I could think of on that detail.

9. You were a couple steps ahead of me.

10. "This is a law." And when has that ever deterred tRump?

Laws are for the little people.
