Twisting Arms, Burying The Epstein Truth: Massie vs. the Machine on The Hill (9/24/25)

The GOP leadership is leaning hard on Thomas Massie to abandon his discharge petition on the Epstein files, and it reeks of the same rot that’s protected Epstein’s network for decades. Instead of standing with survivors and supporting a straightforward push for transparency, party bosses are circling the wagons and threatening Massie with political isolation. They’re using every tool of internal discipline—committee leverage, campaign funding pressure, backroom intimidation—to remind him that loyalty to the machine comes before loyalty to the truth. It’s a textbook case of power protecting itself, smothering daylight before it can seep into the cracks.What makes it even more shameful is the nakedness of the betrayal. This isn’t about some obscure policy fight or budget gimmick; this is about giving Epstein’s survivors a shot at justice and letting the public finally see what’s been buried. By trying to break Massie’s will, GOP leaders aren’t just suppressing debate, they’re actively aligning themselves with the same forces of silence and protection that made Epstein’s empire possible in the first place. It’s cowardice dressed up as party discipline, and it shows that when the chips are down, the leadership’s instinct is to cover for the powerful—not fight for the victims.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
