Speaking to CNN’s Manu Raju, the libertarian firebrand publicly called out the House Speaker for his opposition to the Epstein files release bill that has just passed both the House and the Senate — specifically, hammering him for attempting to create a new category of victims — the rich and powerful men who flew with him on the “Lolita Express.”
“He says that it was poorly drafted, does not protect the victims as well. What do you say to him?” asks Raju.
“Well, he’s trying to say that rich and powerful men who were on the plane to Epstein Island are now victims. That they would be victims because their names would get disclosed. Look at his PowerPoint presentation today. He’s creating a new category of victims. So I think that’s how a Christian man can stand up there and say a lie like that is he’s got something in the back of his head that makes it OK.”
“But if he had real concerns, he could have introduced his own legislation. Look, the reason they’re in there debating this is we drug him kicking and screaming into it. They hated it. They tried to stop it the whole time.
Raju then asked him to explain the discussion about grand jury material and Johnson’s efforts to amend the bill.
“You have all this discussion about judicial norms. You have some lawyers in here, particularly on my judiciary committee who say ‘oh, you don’t release grand jury material that that violates judicial norms.’”
“Well, what the problem is, our judicial system has been woefully broken and corrupted over the last couple of decades. And the Epstein case is an example of that. He wants to create a provision of this law that would exempt the very people we’re trying to expose, which are the men who flew to Epstein Island and or in New York City and raped these women.”
“That’s what the speaker, the result of Speaker Johnson’s legislation that he wants. Now he says, oh, we’ll make sure that they are credible allegations. Well, this begs the question, is he calling the survivors who witnessed here today at the House triangle and our press conference incredible or uncredible or unbelievable? That’s the implication. What’s the impact if the Senate does in fact change this bill? They’re part of the cover-up.”
“And these bozos here, they pretend like, now we’re ready to pull the band-aid off. After five months of shooting themselves in the foot politically and morally, they’re ready to pull the band-aid off. But the reality is Speaker Johnson’s press conference shows that he is unrepentant. They have a backup plan. And I think it’s going to work poorly for them, by the way.”
“By the time they get done with trying to cover up by having these other investigations or having amendments in the Senate, they’re just going to make more people complicit. Like it takes somebody to offer those amendments and then they’re going to have votes on those amendments. And I would encourage them to pass this bill as is, put it on the president’s desk. It’s got protections to prevent the release of child pornography. That’s a lie. The speaker, go read the bills, guys. It’s right in there. It’s got protections to protect.”
It is deeply unsurprising that Trump’s bootlicks in the House are trying to pull out all the stops to protect Epstein’s clients and friends, because many of them probably fill their campaign war chests.
But they have failed, the bill has passed, and now it’s time for America to know the truth about its serial sexual predator president and his pedo sex trafficking best friend.
