One of the most outspoken members of the US Republican Party over the Epstein files has told the BBC he is “not satisfied until the survivors are satisfied”.
Thomas Massie, a congressman representing Kentucky, told the Newsnight programme: “Men need to be perp-walked in handcuffs to the jail, and until we see that here in this country… we don’t have a system of justice that’s working.”
Massie has criticised the Department of Justice (DOJ) for the number of files that it redacted or withheld after it complied with a law - co-written by Massie - to release all its material.
DOJ officials have said they have released all of their files other than certain items permitted to be exempt.
In contrast with the situation in the US, the UK was “the only place that we’re seeing arrests”, Massie said. He said it was “ironic that [the US] thought we could have more justice by becoming independent from Britain”.
The biggest problem around Epstein is that for Americans, actions had no consequences. NONE.
so yeah, Andrew Windsor-Mount Batten-whatever needs to be led out in public in handcuffs, taken to a holding facility, stripped naked and sprayed with delousing agent. Then we’ll give him a free cotton jumpsuit and sneakers until his trial.
Italy got it spot on with it’s Fascists.
This really affected party membership for quite a while.
Then prosecute them like anyone else. Fantasies of violence from the state help noone. Make the state be just and it will be good. Or advocate for vigilanteism. But not for an injust state.
It’s not true their killing help no one: definitely helps other co-criminals (at large) who wants their mouth shut.
