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”.
If some of the accusations are to be believed, they didn’t just kill and rape little kids. They tortured them. They filmed the rape, torture, and murder of them and delighted in the recordings. They ate their bodies! Yes, really. That’s probably the most plausible explanation for the many very strange references to very wealthy, powerful people making a weirdly big deal out of jerky. And we have that straight from the emails.
So, we’ve gone from emails giving us Pizzagate to emails giving us Jerkygate? Sheesh, this simulation sucks! The writers need to quit rehashing material.
