Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) has been a vocal advocate for transparency in the case of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In a 14-minute video released on Thursday, Massie outlined what Americans can expect if the Department of Justice (DOJ) does or does not disclose all of its information on Epstein by the Friday deadline.
The first question on everyone’s mind is, how will we know if the DOJ has released all of the materials? Massie explains that the DOJ has a few options for releasing the information. They can either release it publicly, to Congress, or to the victims’ attorneys. If the DOJ chooses to release the information publicly, it will be available for all Americans to see. However, if they release it to Congress or the victims’ attorneys, it will not be made public.
Massie goes on to say that if the DOJ does not release all of the materials, there are still ways for the public to find out the truth. He encourages citizens to use the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to request the information from the DOJ. This act allows individuals to request information from federal agencies, and the agencies are required to provide it unless it falls under certain exemptions. Massie also suggests reaching out to your representatives and senators to demand transparency in this case.
But why is it so important for the DOJ to release all of the information? Massie explains that the public has a right to know the truth about Epstein and his crimes. He also emphasizes that the victims deserve justice and closure. Without all of the information, the victims may never get the closure they deserve.
Massie also addresses the possibility of the DOJ redacting or censoring some of the information. He urges the DOJ to release the information in its entirety, without any redactions. Redactions would only serve to hide the truth and protect those involved in Epstein’s crimes. Massie reminds us that the victims have already suffered enough and deserve to know the full extent of what happened to them.
The release of all the information is crucial not only for the victims but also for the American people. Massie points out that Epstein had connections to powerful and influential people, and the public has a right to know if any of those individuals were involved in his crimes. The release of all the information will provide transparency and accountability, ensuring that justice is served.
In the video, Massie also addresses the possibility of a cover-up by the DOJ. He acknowledges that there have been instances in the past where the government has covered up sensitive information. However, he remains hopeful that this will not be the case with the Epstein case. He urges the DOJ to do the right thing and release all of the information, without any cover-ups.
Massie’s message is clear – the American people deserve the truth, and the victims deserve justice. The DOJ has a responsibility to disclose all of the information on Epstein and his crimes. Failure to do so would be a disservice to the victims and the American people.
In conclusion, Rep. Thomas Massie’s video serves as a reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in the case of Jeffrey Epstein. The release of all the information is crucial for the victims to get the closure they deserve and for the public to know the truth. Let us hope that the DOJ does the right thing and fulfills its duty to the American people.
