I didn't know Epstein -- never met him.
But, based on 35 years in the business, and having take an extensive look into most of the available information about Epstein, I'm convinced the "tale" of "Pedo Rapist Island" and an "Epstein Client List" was almost entirely a creation of the South Florida Plaintiffs' Lawyers who have sued Epstein, his Estate, and financial institutions for nearly two decades on behalf of young women, and have extracted hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements by keeping that narrative going.
Massie's efforts re the Epstein DOJ files were entirely a political operation he mounted against a President he despises -- one he has actively worked to undermine for 10 years while pontificating about "muh principles". He had to look to 214 Democrats to overcome the WH and nearly the entire GOP caucus who knew what would happen if his discharge petition led to a vote.
And that is exactly what happened -- the nearly fact- free hysteria led to a burden placed upon DOJ's manpower that was severly debilitating at a time when DOJ was woefully understaffed and was fighting to advance the Trump 2.0 agenda on dozens of fronts.
But Massie's efforts to extract retribution for Trump putting a target on his back led to a huge percentage of available DOJ attorneys being pulled off the efforts to fight for the agenda, and anchored them to the mind-numbing project of redacting millions of pages of documents -- nearly all of which do nothing to reveal any organized criminal conspiracy involving sex trafficking or sex crimes by the "elite."
He's been full of sheet from the beginning.
And those who continue to bleat on about the "Epstein class" only expose themselves as double digit IQ holders gullible beyond belief.
Go ahead an unfollow me if I've just described you.

All GOPe reported Massie negatives aside, the ACTUAL summation of Ed's astroturfed campaign is this :
