MTG and Ro Khanna are in full agreement with you.

You continue to put too much into that HR. It's gutless with the 2 paragraphs I pointed out.
Trump already instructed Bondi to do exactly what is laid out in that HR. Release all that can be released.
You are correct, zero impact on the midterms unless there is a specific person or issue affected, but that is an unknown at this point.
If Massie wanted to get a nod from me, then he would be simultaneously calling for a look into HOW such an operation got started, how the girls were trafficked, and why with the high profile it took so ****ing long for anything to come out.
The how not the who and how do you stop it.

trump may "lose support" from twitter accounts, but overall no one really cares about this. its a non-issue on main street away from the internet
if the economy gets humming, trump will roll through the midterms with even more support.
This is a bad thing, not a moot point that should be glossed over.
Our populace, and unfortunately the so called conservative wing, are becoming apathetic to government malfeasance. Queue the "nothing will happen" nonsense a lot of people like to spew. Trump flip flopping on this issue should be a red flag to many and we should be thankful Massie is trying to shine a light on this.
And Trump would still roll through midterms if he supported the release of unredacted Epstein files. There is no logical reason to be against what Massie is doing.

Massie, MTG and Ro having their moment on the Capitol steps. How long before they break out in song?

I also want what you posted above, but I'm not bending over backwards taking pot shots at the few people that are trying to get some transparency related to this issue. Your attacks against Massie and those wanting transparency makes it sound like you are not genuine in wanting full transparency. Or are just going along with whatever Trump says at the time.
Perfection is the enemy of good.

Have any of the survivors wrote a book or done an interview where they say exactly what happened and with who? There's millions to be made if they would release a podcast at least. Just tell us what happened and who did it. All this press conference without going into every detail makes me think it wasn't as bad as I thought.

The press conference definitely made it seem they were ready to go scorched earth with their own list if this keeps getting kicked down the road.

Man..the more this goes on and the more Trump stalls, the worst it looks. If he's not involved, just release the files.

If Trump has nothing to hide, or no one to protect, it doesn't make sense why he would release the files.

Wrong. There are millions of whiney folks out there and Trump loves getting under your skin. Works every time

Yikes. Only to be told their stories are fake because they just wanted a book/cast deal.

These people have had decades to come out about this. Why didn't they before now.?
I'm not saying they don't have a right to, but after what we saw happened to Kavanaugh and Eugene and Carol is just hard to trust with a lot of people say now.
Both of those stories were complete made up bull*****

The idea is that they feared for their lives. Epstein was connected to political leaders around the globe, bankers, billionaires, thought leaders, etc.
If some of the most powerful people in the world on both sides of the aisle were implicated, it shouldn't be a far stretch to think that victims could be suicided if they threatened to speak out.
Like Virginia Guiffre, who posted publicly that she was not suicidal before later dying by suicide.
Not saying that any of that is true, but it seems like a plausible explanation. On top of that, it is now more socially acceptable to be open about having dealt with trauma of that nature than in the past.
