Rep. Thomas Massie states the obvious when it comes to one of the motivations behind Trump calling for his lackey Pam Bondi at DOJ to go after Democrats who might be named in the Epstein files. Massie made an appearance on ABC’s This Week on Sunday, and was asked by host Jonathan Karl what’s next now that his discharge petition has the votes in the House and how many Republicans might end up voting to release the files.
Massie proceeded to hit Trump for potentially using the investigations as a last ditch effort to keep the files from being released.
MASSIE: I think we could have a deluge of Republicans. There could be 100 or more. I’m hoping to get a veto-proof majority on this legislation when it comes up for a vote. And, you know, the president’s been saying this is a hoax. He’s been saying that for months. Well, he’s just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it’s a hoax.
And I have another concern about these investigations that he’s announced. If they have ongoing investigations in certain areas, those documents can’t be released. So, this might be a big smokescreen, these investigations, to open a bunch of them to — as a last-ditch effort to prevent the release of the Epstein files.
