The White House has warned Republican rebels in Congress that pushing for the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein pedophile abuse files would be seen as “a very hostile act” by President Donald Trump.

The GOP-controlled House Oversight and Government Reform Committee released more than 33,000 Epstein documents on Tuesday evening, after a closed-door meeting with multiple victims of Epstein and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Democrats complained, however, 97 percent of the documents were already in the public record, and Republican Thomas Massie, who has clashed regularly with Trump this year, stepped up his push for a House vote on the release of the documents in full.

A White House official told CNN, “Helping Thomas Massie and Liberal Democrats with their attention-seeking, while the DOJ is fully supporting a more comprehensive file release effort from the Oversight Committee, would be viewed as a very hostile act to the administration.”

1. This message approved by the Spirit Of Val Kilmer.

[Irish_Dem]

2. If Trump is innocent why is releasing the files a hostile act?

[johnnyfins]

3. It would be nice if someone from our

wonderful press would have the guts to actually ask that question.

[OldBaldy1701E]

26. It would be nice if every agency in the country were asking this of every rethug in the country.

Repeatedly.

[spanone]

9. Because he's not innocent.

An innocent man would demand they release EVERYTHING

[Irish_Dem]

13. Exactly, an innocent man would demand the files be released to clear his name.

[spanone]

15. This is like a confession!

[Irish_Dem]

16. Yes he just made a public admission that he is guilty as hell.

[Miles Archer]

17. It's impossible to snip out the "Jeff likes beautiful women, just like me, many of them on the younger side" thing

Here's the issue that I have NOT heard articulated by ANY "reporter / journalist."

Trump HANGING OUT WITH EPSTEIN, OFTEN, is not "fake news." HE DID.

That means he saw, first-hand, how "young" these women were. It's not like Trump spent an hour with him, left, and then Epstein yelled "OK, he's gone, bring out the underaged girls!"

Trump has no filters. He just says what's on his mind and doesn't give a damn about how anyone takes it. That's how we got the Access Hollywood tape.

So he was THERE. And, whoever wants to believe Ghislane "Golly Gee, I Sure Would Love A Pardon" Maxwell, he saw what was going on. He got a pretty good understanding of "what Jeff liked."

Now he wants to either pretend that he wasn't there, or that he was an innocent bystander.

ALAN DERSHOWITZ got a "massage" from one of Epstein's underaged girls and said it was OK "because he kept his underpants on."

That's what we're dealing with here, folks.

28. Throw in Trump's 'modeling' agency and teen beauty pageants...

What's that smell? Fear!

Isn't there ample evidence that a lot of trafficking of women and girls used 'modeling agencies' to round up and move 'talent'? And there are plenty of beautiful grown women to have pageants with so why did he insist on having one for teen age girls that he could walk in on while they were in states of undress?

Why?
BECAUSE HE'S A CHILD MOLESTER, likely rapist.

[Miles Archer]

32. The "Modeling Agency" is how he met his Slovenian trophy wife

Trump and Epstein both used the same "Modeling Agency." She's tried to deny that's how they met but did you notice she SUED the Daily Mail (U.K.) for discussing her "past," but hasn't threatened to SUE anyone over the "Modeling Agency" comments? She's DENIED it, but she's even more petulant and litigious than her husband, so if it were a falsehood, SHE WOULD HAVE ALREADY SUED.

[MadameButterfly]

19. Well, he's claiming the Oversight Committe release is/will be more comprehensive

than Massey's bill, just to confuse the issue for the uninformed

[BoRaGard]

4. G.O.P. on its knees to protect pedophiles

repubes like to think of themselves as morally superior -- while circling the wagons to protect their pedo BESTIES.

[RVN VET71]

8. . . . and themselves

I'm not saying that all Fascist Republicans (which is a redundancy, I know, I know) are pedos, themselves. I'm just saying that so many of them are, it's understandable why they'd want to protect one of their own. The rest, of course, the non-pedos, are just sniveling moral cowards, like Mike Johnson.

[live love laugh]

12. And we don't know for sure about Mike Johnson's proclivities ... YET.

[RVN VET71]

18. His fear that his son might explore internet porn and whack off to it

makes me wonder if he thinks that's the way to secure his "God's" forgiveness for his transgressions against children. Makes sense, in a sordid kind of way.

[Attilatheblond]

29. Also, older bulls like to keep the younger, up & coming bulls out of the herd.

[RVN VET71]

33. Love the pic of Gen'l Butler

A true American hero ignored by the Government when he exposed the operators of a would-be fascist coup. Even FDR, for chrissakes suffered from Democratic wimpiness at times. Even FDR.

[Attilatheblond]

34. Some of the people Butler exposed were behind attempt to assasinate FDR before he was sworn in too.

A true patriot who enlisted when under age and rose thru the ranks. He was beloved by most soldiers under his eventual command. That's why the rich bastards wanted him to be their puppet leading pissed off WWI veterans who got screwed out of their promised benefits.

Butler needs to be taught in US History, not ignored by it. His life is a study in dealing with manipulation, corruption of government by corporations and greedy bastards. All of the roots of today's problems.

[EYESORE 9001]

5. Hostile?

Historically, prosecutors are inherently hostile towards defendants of any sort. What makes the people on Epstein’s lists sofa king special?
💰💸💵💶💷💴🤑

[augyboston]

6. "Very hostile act" - really??? So was the sexual abuse of minor girls!

RELEASE THE BEAUTIFUL EPSTEIN FILES NOW!!!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

7. He's guilty

Unpeeling like an onion.

[marble falls]

10. Nice reference.

[twodogsbarking]

11. I'll be his huckle bearer.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

14. TACO Don is going to have his Johnny Ringo moment.

[IbogaProject]

20. So come on press

This warrants "We can assume Trump is guilty based on his actions", if asking for disclosure during fact finding is a hostile act then the only reasonable course is to assume his guilt.

[MadameButterfly]

22. Yeah but assuming guilt gets us nowhere

We need the proof

[Hey Joe]

31. Nah, not our lazy, subservient press

After all, they may lose their precious access to the thug if they actually ask pertinent or fact based questions. Amiright CNN, NBC,CBS, ABC,
Fox,Newsmax, etc…

[MadameButterfly]

21. This is a threat

So far Republicans have caved to every threat.
Is it different with the Epstein files?
Will Massie himself hold up?
The threat is likely sufficient to keep the additional 2 he needs from siding with Massie.
Usually they allow a few dissdents as long as it's not enough to pass a vote. Anyone who has real power to pass a bill (like the additional 2 Rs they need) will be threatened with more than a primary.

I got my hopes up that Rs in the House would go for this en mass. But when it's down to a 2-3 critical votes, the risk is too high. I hope I'm wrong. This is our chance if there ever is one.

[MLWR]

23. Every accusation is a confession:

“Helping Thomas Massie and Liberal Democrats with their attention-seeking, while the DOJ is fully supporting a more comprehensive file release effort from the Oversight Committee, would be viewed as a very hostile act to the administration.”

[Trueblue Texan]

24. They just released that missing minute in the Epstein video...

Nothing to see, but who else was thinking there was someone hidden in the trash can?

[paleotn]

25. Perhaps some Repukes now see Donnie as a dead end?

Actually and figuratively? They’re never about justice for anyone, ever. So that’s not behind this push for release. In addition to their fetish about Dems and Epstein, perhaps they feel this may rid them forever of Donnie’s dying carcass. Just a passing thought.

[Attilatheblond]

30. Sadly, Trump isn't the only one Putin has files on

[Martin Eden]

27. "DOJ is fully supporting a more comprehensive file release"

Yeah, right. Trump wants EVERYTHING released, and simply doesn't want a side effort distracting from his FULL TRANSPARENCY.

Plus, for a limited time only, the Trump administration has a special offer to sell a bridge in Brooklyn.

[H2O Man]

35. I think it

is illegal to use anything close to a Beatle's name when discussing the felon.
