DOJ Release Hidden Key Details
- Rep. Thomas Massie says the DOJ released 3.5 million Epstein documents but withheld perpetrators' names while exposing victims.
- He views the release as late, incomplete, and harmful to survivors, showing institutional failure or incompetence.
Dinner Question Sparked Legislation
- Massie recounts asking Pam Bondi at a DOJ dinner when the next tranche of files would come out.
- Bondi replied 'all that was left was child porn,' which convinced Massie she wouldn't release more files.
Scandal Broader Than Historic Cases
- Massie argues the Epstein scandal surpasses Watergate and Iran-Contra due to its scope across administrations and thousands implicated.
- He compares elites implicated to a web of mutual exposure rather than a finite political scandal.
