Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., who are working together to push the Trump administration to release federal files related to Jeffrey Epstein, disagreed Sunday over whether President Donald Trump should pardon Epstein’s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

Massie told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” during a joint interview with Khanna that “whatever they need to do to compel [Maxwell’s] testimony, as long as it’s truthful, I would be in favor of.”

Khanna, on the other hand, said, “No, I don’t” believe that Maxwell should be pardoned or have her sentence commuted and that he is “concerned” that she met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche last week.

“Look, I agree with Congressman Massie that she should testify, but she’s been indicted twice on perjury. This is why we need the files,” Khanna added.

1. I disagree with Khanna. Her "testimony " is a red herring.

No one needs to or should hear from her, at least not at this time. Trump insisted he would release the files. Keep the pressure there. Khanna is chasing the bait.

2. She'll lie and she'll be pardoned. Maybe they'll wait a short while...

because people forget so soon—especially when it’s buried in other manufactured headline news—but this fabrication will bury the Epstein hatchet, and eventually she’ll be pardoned.

Followed by the drugs and booze overdose.

3. He still hasn't pardoned Ghouliani

So he is selective in its use.

10. He still has an "inside track"

to some of what the RW loons dub "the deep state" (that are actually the GOP moles pulling strings).

4. Republicans are relying on her being dishonest even under oath

they see her 'honesty' as the only way of getting pedo Trump out of this coverup.

5. Yep. And they're being incredibly transparent about it, too.

6. Of course the Repuglican thinks the criminal should be pardoned.

It's now a staple in their party platform.

8. Maxwell recruited Hundreds of Underage School Girls into sexual Abuse!

And according to the victims, she also often sexually abused them herself and instructed these SCHOOL GIRLS on sexual techniques Epstein liked. And often these teen aged girl were trafficked to other rich and powerful men.

There is NOTHING she has to say that is worth letting this literal monster out of prison.
