Thomas Massie is going to go out like Jimmy Carter. House Speaker Tip O'Neal said when the Carter Administration left "those guys came in like pricks and they are going out the same way".
It never occurs to Massie that Patel and Blanche might be, oh, I don't know, BUILDING CASES and so are not going to allow this to leak at a critical juncture.
I want names released too but one must ask why Massie waited until he became a lame duck before taking this step; it's not principle, it's pure spite.
IF he was sitting on things that were explosive and he was principled he would have released these names long ago. But he said nothing, just railed at the Administration for not releasing the redacted names. But now that he's out suddenly he finds his voice.
What a hypocrite!
There are lots of reasons names would be redacted. Some people will be innocent but tarred just based on their names appearing (I just had an argument with a moron who was all jacked up because Trumps name appears a lot in the Epstein files, and he ignored the point I made that the Democrats and media would have used this if it was incriminating.) Many people are going to be assumed guilty in the court of public opinion just by being there. And of course we also have to worry about their families. And about the guilty lamming it.
