'This is the Epstein Administration!' Thomas Massie Trashes Trump in Fiery ABC Hit
Source: Mediaite.com
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) ripped President Donald Trump accusing him of being still in the Epstein class in a fiery interview on ABC Sunday. Speaking with Martha Raddatz on ABCs This Week, the Kentucky Republican who has relentlessly pushed for transparency on the Epstein files slammed the president, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and the administration as a whole. Raddatz began by asking Massie to weigh in on Bondis combativeness at Wednesdays blockbuster House Judiciary hearing.
She came with a book full of insults, one for each congressperson, Massie said. She obviously had one for me. And, you know, Ive been there when [former AG] Merrick Garland was there. Obviously, politically, I dont agree with him, but he performed much better in terms of at least not looking bad. And, unfortunately, we didnt get the answers we wanted about the Epstein Files Transparency Act from her. Massie went on to trash Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche over the letter they sent Saturday in which they claimed they have now produced all of the Epstein files.
I know the DOJ wants to say theyre done with this document production, Massie said. The problem is theyve taken down documents before we were able to go over to the DOJ and look at the unredacted versions. They took down some of the most significant documents. Two of them involving Virginia Giuffres case and other things, the picture of Epstein at in a room where its got CIA written on the boxes. Thats been taken down. We want to be able to look at all these files. They cant keep those documents down after theyve already produced them.
The congressman, on Sunday, went hard after the president. Look, this is about the Epstein class, the people who are funding the attacks against me, Massie said. They may or may not be implicated in these files, but they were certainly rubbing shoulders with the people who are in these files. Theyre billionaires who are friends with these people. And thats what Im up against in Washington, D.C. Donald Trump told us that even though, you know, he had dinner with these kinds of people in New York City and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But hes not. Hes still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration, and theyre attacking me for trying to get these files released.

I am not suicidal. I eat healthy food. The brakes on my car and truck are in good shape. I practice good trigger discipline and never point a gun at anyone, including myself. There are no deep pools of water on my farm and Im a pretty good swimmer.

It wouldn't hurt to drop him a note of thanks on his Congressional website. I already have.
